martha stewart you're the best!

i found these darling boxes at micheals and made up a few to share with neighbors and friends- they were on sale- ($7 regularly $14) and i don't think it even matters what you put in them- the box is so darned cute people will love whatever is in them.

 

after making these up i was dangerously low on goodies, so

i proceeded to make more peanut butter kisses so my 

family wouldn't have to pray a neighbor brought US

over a cookie tray!

 

 

 

 

 

 

a few weeks ago i met 2 friends for lunch and one of them gave me some paperwhite

bulbs. she said "if you plant them right away maybe they'll bloom for Christmas"

well---look at what's blooming! thanks tony! love them

 

 

it's saturday evening and i guess i'd better just gather up all

my patience- do a little meditation- say a prayer, drink some wine,

do a downward dog and bite the bullet- i can't put it off any longer, i have a two page

list of groceries i need and i imagine myself and about 7209 other shoppers

will all be at cub foods together!

 

i can do this- i can- i love Christmas  (the cooking part is my

least favorite though- there i've said it).

 

 

i might sneak in one more post in the next two days,

 like you e-v-e-n have time to care right?

ho ho ho

 

is it too early to wish you a MERRY CHRISTMAS?

 

 

xo, beth
