| Ashlee Gail- 13 yrs old The girls will be 13 in a few days.. So hard to believe our babies have grown up so fast. I got my embroidery machine out [after such a long time in hiding. I embroidered their initial on the vest. Happy Birthday Girls.. Thanksgiving and Christmas Clean up Plans are still underway.. I got all the kitchen cabinets washed - inside and out. [wow..I am proud this is done!!]. Living room-- washed curtains [and hung outside to dry]. Wiped the walls down, wiped the couch/chairs with a damp cloth. Now... I will be moving on to the bedrooms. Holiday Plans There is only 19 days until Thanksgiving.. I hope to have all the "extra" cleaning done before this holiday. I have made my menu plans- I have bought the turkey/ but need one more grocery store shopping trip to pick up a few items. There is only 50 days until Christmas.. so many to do list on my planning sheet... Must get to work.. Christmas shopping-- have you began your shopping? Sad to say---- I have not bought the first thing!! Since the grandchildren have gotten older, money seems to be the gift of choice.. Not so fun/ but want to make them happy.☺ Have a great day and wishing you the best, as you make preparations for your holidays. |
Happy Birthday to the Girls! They look so adorable in their vests. I just realized today its going to be Thanksgiving before we know it. As far as Christmas shopping...I have some Stocking Stuffers does that count?
ReplyDeleteThank you ..
DeleteI think we should let the stocking stuffers count [lol],, Since, we have to get them bought too. smile.
You are so talented. I need to re thread my mom’s machine that she thinks is broken. Almost a year and still on the to do list.
ReplyDeleteThank you Danielle..
DeleteI have not been doing much sewing either.. ALways so much to do.
Yes, they do grow up so fast don't they?! Happy Birthday to your beautiful girls - many more.
ReplyDeleteThank you Tomasa. They are really sweet girls.Seems like just yesterday, they were babies. Time is flying.
DeleteOh I dislike the transition to money but like you say they enjoy it the most. They get what they want that way. The vests are very cute and I can tell that the girls love them. They both are so pretty.
ReplyDeleteThank you Vickie. They are really sweet girls..so proud of them.
DeleteI hate the transition to money too. No fun at all. But, you are right.. they reach that age, that money is what they want..
So cute <3 I love their vests. And yes, the holiday season is rapidly approaching!
ReplyDeleteThank you.. The vest was easy.. It had been so long since I embroidered anything, I was scared I would mess them up.ha
DeleteI've only got a few small gifts so far, but am thinking about Christmas a little bit! I'm glad you are getting your cleaning done. I didn't get any of mine done this weekend--spent my time on other things. But, that's all good. I'll hopefully get some done this week:)
ReplyDeleteMaybe we will both get more done this next week.. [hope so- it will be here before we know it.ha]
DeleteHave a blessed day.
Happy birthday to your twin granddaughters! Those vests are super cute! May I ask what type of fabric you used? I have a vest pattern that I haven't even opened yet - bought oh, about 20 years ago! :D
ReplyDeleteWell done on your cleaning! I have been trying to keep the living room, dining area, and family room tidy and dusted. That's all. Need to get to the other rooms before the end of the month!
Christmas...I've made a list - does that count? I need to make a batch of jam to give as gifts, but haven't got around to it, yet. Maybe over the Thanksgiving holidays - my daughter will be home and she can help.
Thank you Bless.. I have patterns that I never opened too.smile
DeleteI think making the Christmas list definitely count.. I too am trying to keep the rooms I already deep cleaned , tidy.. So that it does not get cluttered before the holidays.. Have a great week.
I know what you mean...I can't believe there are only 50 more days until Christmas!! We have started by putting in a Walmart layaway. At least, the stuff is picked out and reserved...all we have to do now is pay for it. LOL! But, we are making progress. God bless you, sweet friend. :)
ReplyDeleteI think these holidays really just slipped up.. It was hot summer time, and it seemed like over night, it was a count down to Christmas. haha
DeleteI use to put stuff in the lay a way at walmart for my kids Christmas.. [and was so disappointed when they stopped it. Proud they started it back up.. great for people with little children.. hard to buy Santa claus early and keep it hid from nosey little helpers. smile.]
God bless you too.
The girls and their vests are darling! You are right, it is so hard to give to older kids and teens these days, so we have found Amazon gift cards to be the gift of choice for them. Hard to believe the holidays are upon us! You are doing well with all your deep cleaning, and planning, that is so exciting to have those things done. Blessings to you today :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Marilyn. I like the Amazon gift card idea.
DeleteI too, like to get the planning done and completed..Makes the holidays go much smoother /on my side.ha
Have a great week.

I was so sad. I loved watching her.
THank you Danielle.. It was so sad.. She was such a sweet lady.. I watched her too.. Hope your having a great Thanksgiving.
DeleteI was so sad when I found out. I loved watching her. She made it all look so easy! Then I found a blog post that she wrote a few months ago when she knew she didn’t have much time left. She accepted it and seemed ready. She also spoke of her faith. RIP Nancy.
DeleteI too followed her..I watched her show way back.. such a nice lady. She will be missed.
DeleteHope you and Danielle had a good Christmas.
The vests are just so lovely, Judy! And your sweet granddaughters make beautiful models. Hoping you and your family had a wonderful Christmas!
