Saturday: going to the gym in the morning to run & lift, christmas shopping, getting the rest of my baking ingredients, doing laundry, start wrapping gifts, start my holiday baking.
Sunday: 15 mile trail run out in Brighton w/ my dad & my other running friends. I will finish any baking, watch football, etc...

I'd like to go out alone and pick up some craft supplies. I'm hoping to make my SIL a necklace for xmas and I've been crocheting some coffee cozies for the teachers at preschool, so I need to get some buttons for those. That's about it.
Fun weekend ahead, huh?

Sun: church, then my aunt will watch the kids so DH & I can go see Natalie McMaster in concert!
I must have missed this Brooke!! I didn't realize you were going on an Alaskan cruise! I'm so jealous! When are you going?! Tell me everything so I can live vicariously through you. lol
I also need to know more about these wax ornaments. They sound exciting!! Do you talk about them in your blog at all?
Mongolian is my favorite!! Enjoy!
I don't know if I've mentioned it before or not, so you really didn't miss anything.
I think we're going late May or early June. We're about 99% sold on the DIsney cruise. I've been on one before and it was awesome. I've been on another cruiseline since then and was less than impressed, so that's why I kind of want to do Disney again.
Ah...the blog. I don't think I've posted since March...April maybe. However, yes, I did blog about the ornaments last year in December.
We use Yankee Candle tarts, melt them, and poor them into earthenware cookie molds. We freeze them and pop a ribbon through the top and viola!...you have a good smelling ornament. The blubs on the Christmas tree help with the scent too, warms them up just enough to release the scent.
