4 more sleeps...

I have a to-do list a mile long, and it just keeps growing. The amount of things I need to accomplish in the next 4 days is overwhelming! I might not actually get 4 sleeps between now and Christmas, perhaps 2!  I haven't baked a thing, have tons of presents left to wrap, a quilt panel to finish, and crafty projects that I was really hoping to get to all in the next 4 days. 3 days really because Christmas Eve is already chalk-full of events! Not to mention I still have to clean my ENTIRE house, as the family is coming here for Christmas dinner this year.  Better get off here and go do something!

However, I did want to share something with you. My family is very crafty (I think the gene skipped right by me). My Mom makes the most beautiful quilts, my Aunt Donna knits, my Aunt Peggy sews and scrapbooks, and cross stitches. Yesterday was our family Christmas party at my Mom's, and while Bruce made out better than me in the yankee swap (he ended up with both of our gifts), I received the most beautiful centerpiece from my Aunt Peggy.

The table runner was a gift from my Mom a few years ago, it makes me happy to put it out every year. I think the handmade decorations around my house are my favorites.
