Do you know what day it is?

Why Tuesday of course! And time for another installment of "Tell it all Tuesday" where I tell you all about my week.

My mom went in for her surgery on Thursday and all went well. She's doing pretty good and doesn't seem to be in a lot of pain. We've all been trying to help her out whenever possible with cooking, chauffeuring and feeding her cats.

Last night was the Christmas program at my daughter's school and I enjoyed watching the kids perform. I also have a niece and two nephews at the school so it was nice getting to see them all. Here's a picture of my daughter sitting on Santa's lap afterward:

She's a cutie!

Anyway, it's been snowing more here and getting pretty cold. It's a good thing we have plenty of wood or we'd be freezing here without a furnace!

I'm happy to report that the afghan I've been working on is just about finished...yay! Then I'm hoping to get something made for my store so I can actually have something store-related to blog about!

Here are my weekly movies:
--Miracle on 34th Street
--It's a Wonderful Life
--The Nightmare Before Christmas
--The Night They Saved Christmas
--Midnight Clear
--National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation

Sensing a theme here?

It may seem like I'm slacking, but...

it's just because I really am :-) I've let a few items in my shop expire...and I'm not sure I'll relist them. They're items I've never really liked that much and am not sure they'll sell...however, I have sold items I personally wasn't fond of in the past, so you never know.

I probably won't get much done in the shop until after Christmas anyway, when I have a little more time. I'm working on one last project for a Christmas gift and it's taking much longer than I expected...so at this point I'm just hoping to get that finished in time.

Anyway, just thought I'd stop by for a quick update...I really hope I can post pictures of something new soon!!

I know it's not Tuesday, but...

here's the tell-it-all Tuesday anyway. My week went okay. I made two sales--my mother-in-law did some shopping in my store. I got to have two Thanksgivings which was great. We had Thanksgiving at our house again this year and had lots of fun, then we went over to the in-laws on Saturday for a second Thanksgiving dinner. 

I got absolutely nothing made for the shop this week...I've still been working on Christmas gifts. I'm working on a ripple afghan right now and it seems to be taking forever. 

My dad visited for awhile today. He lives in the next state so I only get to see him a few times a year. They were on their way to Nevada and stopped in for an hour or two. 

My mom's mastectomy is tomorrow, so I'm really praying that everything goes okay with that, and that they're able to get all the cancer. 

On that note, I'll get going...but here are my weekly movies:

--Spencer's Mountain

--My Sister's Keeper

--Star Trek

Black Friday Sale!!

Stop by my store this Friday and receive 20% off every item in my store! Also, if you spend more than $20, get free U.S. shipping as well! Sale only lasts one day, so make sure to stop by and check it out!

I've also relisted two items today, trying to keep the place stocked up for the sale.

Is anyone else having a black Friday sale? Comment and tell me about it!

Tell it all Tuesday!

This week has been okay. My mom was supposed to have surgery on Friday, but she had to postpone it...not sure now when it will be. Instead she went shopping at Walmart with my siser, Karla and I. I'm pretty much all done with my Christmas shopping now. Yay! I think this is the earliest I've been finished shopping before.

Saturday, our internet went out so I had to wait until Monday to get it going again. I hate not having internet! I even put my shop on vacation mode because I hated the idea of someone buying something and me not being able to get it shipped in time. Also, I didn't know when we'd get it hooked back up. There was a chance we'd have to wait until the day after Thanksgiving. But now my store is up and running again, just waiting for swarms of holiday shoppers.

I'm getting everything ready for Thanksgiving. The family is coming to my house again this year, which means a whole lot of work! Today I'm focusing on getting my carpet shampooed. But I also need to make sure both bathrooms are cleaned, and the bedrooms are presentable...it's coming together slowly, and looking nice around here! I borrowed a big table from our church as well as some chairs. I also have a Thanksgiving tablecloth and really nice centerpiece. It's looking quite festive around here!

This week, I managed to view these movies:

--Star Wars: The Clone Wars
--Here Come The Littles
--28 Days

I'm also nearly finished reading:
--Left Behind--Assassins

That's it for this week, God bless!!

Tell it all Tuesday!

This week has been pretty crazy, with crocheting Christmas gifts and getting a few items done for my shop. I also found out this week that my mom has breast cancer and is having a mastectomy this Friday. Because of that, I don't have much else to talk about...because anything else that happened this week seems small and not worth mentioning. 

I have a couple new items to list in my store...I'll probably get that done tomorrow, as long as I have time to get the photos taken. Anyway, looks like that's it for this week...sorry for such a short post. Here's the short list of movies I watched this week:

--G.I. Joe--The Rise of Cobra

--Angela's Ashes


God bless, everyone!!
