December is always a busy month - but this year it seemed to be more busy than usual. It must be because winter held off which meant lots more days for holiday events.
My younger brother and I both turned a year older mid-month.
Bucky and Samantha are doing better now - especially since the snow finally arrived and they can climb the snow banks to see what other critters have been around.
This is a slow time for my stitching as I cook all the holiday meals (Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Years Day) for family and single friends - and this year I had quite a few pies to make: some for family, friends and our local historical society fundraiser at the Christmas Bazaar. Then there were extra shopping trips with my Mom and then with my Dad since they prefer to have me drive.
My cards and packages were all mailed in time although one package coming from my brother in Florida went on vacation for a week - and showed up earlier this week. So I was able to have an extra Christmas! (LOL!)
Santa and family members treated me to some stitching treats - gift cards. Now to decide what to spend them on.
My very little stitching was adding 200 stitches to Mystic Garden.
