Went to a craft show Saturday
I'll never be too old for a picture with Buddy the Elf and Santa!
It's Tuesday again! That means another edition of
Random Tuesday Thoughts, hosted by Stacy Uncorked. Come along for the ride and link up your randomness.
---------------------------
For the first time in several years, I'm actually up for Christmas decorating. The last few years were hard with my mom being gone but I'm making progress. So much so that I've started decorating before Thanksgiving. (And, yes, I still plan on stuffing my face full of food on Turkey Day...and being thankful for it!) What has changed this year is that I won't be buying umpteen gifts for my kids. They're all older now and it was actually pretty ridiculous with how much I'd buy. It's a whole new mindset all around this year!
If you browse FB fairly often, I'm sure you've seen the snowflakes made out of hangers. I took it a step further and made one. Well, I mean, I showed it to my husband and he made it. Now everyone's tagging him in hanger crafts. He's not thanking me so much!
Speaking of projects, my sister and I had a craft day and decorated an old window pane with garland and ornaments. Now it's proudly displayed in my living room.
And, on another project note, my sister and I decorated mom's gravesite for Christmas. Wrapped the shepherd's hook in garland and added a wreath. Even brought her a can of Pepsi.

Traci, Donnie, and myself
My mom's birthday would've been last month. Keeping up with the annual tradition, I took pics with my sister and brother. None of them turned out "normal". My mother was a stickler about pics (no cropping of body parts, look straight, smile right) so we'd razz her with going through a ton of goofy ones before we went with the obligatory "normal" one. Now, since she's passed away, we get together and do the same. She's slapping us from Heaven!

I had lab work done the other day. It was comprehensive enough to require five vials of blood. It was halfway through the fifth vial that the world started closing in around me and I got super dizzy. They rushed a reclining chair, orange juice, and fan to my aid before I completely passed out. First time that ever happened!
