Can you believe it? \u00a0Christmas is 21 weeks away, that’s 10 paydays for some, or even fewer (5) for others. \u00a0I don’t work outside the home anymore so I tend to lose track of things like how soon Christmas will be here. \u00a0I start shopping around now though, just picking up this and that, you know little things I see that would be cool in a stocking? \u00a0Stockings are a FAVORITE in my family. \u00a0So, those get filled first and overfilled so some of the things end up getting wrapped as well. \u00a0Last year was my first ever handmade Christmas. \u00a0I made everyone blankets. \u00a0It started out as me making blankets for the grandchildren, but as their parents caught glimpses of them they wanted one too. \u00a0Then on Christmas, everyone that didn’t get a blanket wanted one of their own. \u00a0I also made some throw pillows for one of my daughters.<\/p>\n
