I’ll admit it, I am a little bit in denial that I have flipped yet ANOTHER calendar page. Seriously, September?!?! Why is time flying so fast. Just a little more than three months left of this pregnancy, WOW. Evan is back in school. A new season of MOPS began last week. AWANA starts tomorrow. Um, yeah, I just don’t know what to say.
I NEED to get started on Christmas presents! I know December will be here faster than I can prepare for, but I’d at least like to try. I will be doing my best to make this holiday a hand-crafted one. No, I am not crazy enough to believe that I can make everything for everyone, but I will be going out of my way to avoid commercially made "stuff". I’ll be shopping at my favorite places… the many stores at Hyenacart and ETSY. Where women (and men) take the time to make each item that is for sale, not some machine pumping out plastic!! I’ve even started receiving some things for the kids already. The extra beauty of hand-crafted items is that you can trade and barter your skills! I’ve been busy dyeing and spinning for others as they embroider, sew, paint, knit and crochet for my kids! Can’t get much better than that!
