Almost here!

Almost 1 week before Christmas and I am ready to start sewing and designing all over again for Spring!
With the shows being over and decoration done,shopping done well almost all I have to do is go to the bank and get my gift cards for my own kids and their spouses I am bored! Sitting just watching TV is not my thing, I have to be doing something, I keep sketching new designs for dolls and other things as soon as they pop into my head.
Our son from Brazil is as excited to come for Christmas as I am. He will call just to tell me how many more days we have left!! He also keeps wanting to know how cold it is here...they are in for a surprize when they get off of the airplane! BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR lol  It is 85 to 90 there at night time and during the day it gets up there really high...wish they could pack some of that up when they come!
Tomorrow night we are having Santa stop in my daughters house while we are all there to surprize the kids! I am going to be so bummed when they all get older and stop believing,  right now they are into the magic elves and everything.
well off to make dinner so until later Merry Christmas!

Why is it on thanksgiving day we eat so much? LOL  I am still full from yesterday but we had a fantastic holiday. I cooked for 16 and they are all coming back today for leftovers. I took a new picture of all of my grandkids and am so proud of them I am going to share the picture!!

I am so excited!

We have hosted  AFS students from Brazil and Germany and we keep in touch with Otavio from Brazil.  He just called and he and his wife is coming for Christmas to stay with us!!! I am so excited!!!! We have accepted him just like our own son and the memories of him being here for a year back in 1990 is just like it was yesterday!  I can't wait!
I am working on more crafts for craft shows. I have everything done for the shows that all I had to do was drop off my inventory to the people and they set it up and take care of everything. I hope all of the hard work makes it worth while.
