Run on Sentences...

Merry Christmas!

Even though my posting has been sporadic lately, I still feel compelled to put an 'out fishing' sign up here.   So, here goes.... I'm off to Michigan for 10 days of real winter.  I packed every pair of non-anklet socks that I own (all 3 pairs of them) and I'll have to make my footies do for the rest of the days.   I know it'll be cold, but I can't wait.  It's not Christmas to me without cold, snow & ice.   

All I want for Christmas is peace in my head, joy in my heart and my family by my side.*  And I wish the same to you.   

Merry Christmas!  

*Although sometimes saying peace & family in the same sentences is laughable, it's a nice sentiment, right?

Christmas Cards

One weekend = 87 Christmas Cards.  I lucked into finding vintage Christmas labels at the Alameda flea market which made things, much easier. 

I didn't think that I'd be able to pull off handmade Christmas cards this year. 

Christmas in general is not really happening at my apt this year.  I didn't get a tree, I didn't even dig out my easy to put out Christmas decorations.  It just seems like too much work for me right now.  (this depression thing sucks!)  On the bright side, I'm going back to Michigan on Saturday so I'll have a whole week at home to enjoy my Mom's Christmas tree & decorations before Christmas.
