Twas the weekend before Christmas

Friday Night ----- Basketball game an hour from home = 10 rows on a baby afghan while sitting in the stands. Late Late dinner at Waffle House.

Saturday Morning - Up early to solder charms for the girls in the other showrooms. I also made one just for me. Typical late morning errands - go get the College Freshman's car from the shop, bank, post office, etc. Pick up the mail -WHICH INCLUDED THE DEAN' S LIST LETTER FOR THE SAME FRESHMAN - proud mama moment. Then basketball game an hour away from home - 10 more rows on baby blanket. Dinner at Longhorn's - long wait - migraine headache.

Sunday - Cantata Service at church. Lunch. Sleep off the rest of the hangover effect from the migraine meds - grocery store - bake a cake (from scratch - the children were amazed) - pack up soldered charms.

Monday 6:00 AM - where the hell did my weekend go??????


Packages ready to go -------


One side of the charm I made for me. Look closely - the glitter has tiny little stars. The stamp was a dollar item set on the end cap at JoAnn's.

The other side of my charm - what you can't see very well is the very pretty texture of the silver paper.

Another of the rubber stamps from the JoAnn's display - I backed these with old cancelled holiday postage stamps. The man at my address is happy to see some things being used.

Again I say that having the studio is a wonderful thing. Although - I did bring things into the house to work - it is downright cold here now and the small heater in the barn just was not enough. But I fixed a tray and then took everything back.

Have a Very Merry Christmas week.
