Welcome!

I love working with crafts, rug hooking, wool felt, penny rugs and stitcheries. Primitives are my favorites, but I also love to mix different styles of decorating.

Please sit back, relax and enjoy my blog.

We Got Through Christmas, Somehow

Friday, December 23rd, was my birthday and I went out to dinner with my son, Adam. We had a great time and didn't get home until 9:30. My significant other wanted to go out then so he could buy me his traditional card and flowers and I said I was too tired and didn't want to go. So for the first time in 19 years I didn't get a card and flowers from him on my birthday. Needless to say, I was disappointed that he didn't plan ahead a little better and go get the items while I was gone with Adam, or gosh, I don't know, possibly plan ahead and get them earlier in the week. He blamed me for being gone late in the evening. At any rate, he was a no-show on my birthday and I was not happy.

The tree was finally decorated Christmas Eve after I spent all day on Christmas Eve shopping. I had to wait until my commission from ThirtyOne came in to go shopping. I then had to get up early on Christmas Day to pop everything in gift bags as I had no time to actually wrap stuff. My significant other didn't help do anything. Another no show. He's in the dog house as you can imagine.

My stress level hit an all-time new high this year. I'm hoping next year will be better.

I'm up to 32 boards on Pinterest. I love it! It has so much to offer as far as crafts and such.

I guess I'd better sign off for now. Have to get on Pinterest and I'm watching my basketball team play tonite. I have a lot going on!!

Until next time.

Sharon, Happy Birthday! We share the same day! I worked on mine this year for the first time ever...and was sick as a dog. I'm glad you at a nice dinner with your son, but I'm sad that your SO bailed out on you that way. The holidays can be so stressful! I've been intrigued with the Pinterest thing, but I fear that between that and blogging, I'll never get off the computer! LOL
Hope your new year brings a lightened stress load and some new, joyous adventures!
Hugs,
Courtney
