its been just as crazy this fall. football that went RIGHT into basketball, dance, girl scouts...
this year we decided to brave the almost 14 hour car drive with 4 kids under 10 and go visit my sister in law for thanksgiving... in montana! while i don't recommend the drive in the fall (i saw 38 live deer, 10 dead deer, 2 horse and 2 shooting stars on the way out alone) it was a great trip. i went on a local hike once we got there, enjoyed tons of good company, fellowship and food. i was sad when we had to leave. and since i knew that i wouldn't see the family again at christmas, i tried to get all my christmas gifts done to bring out there so that i didn't have to mail them. TRIED is the key word. i forgot to account for being gone for the week before we left. but i did get half of them done. that saved me a good chunk of postage. especially this guy right here.
when i was making my x's and hearts for valentines last year, inspiration struck that r would love a barn wood 'w'. because i wanted to see her expression, i made her open it while we were out in mt. she cant wait to get their basement finished so she can hang it up.
look at that beautiful weathered wood detail!
back to the basement for me. this elf needs to keep her butt in gear or the rest of the gifts wont get finished.
