I am busy knitting bracelets. This time I am using gold plated wire and dare I mention it, amethysts. I thought of putting a gold ribbon behind it but it does not gel. Shirley

I made a necklace for my sister at least a month ago. I thought I was ahead of schedule ... but as of now, I'm still working on my Christmas cards, haven't wrapped anything that I'm shipping, and haven't bought anything for DH or DS! The only thing done on time was my beading. Hmmm.

I'm so glad I'm not the only one!

I haven't writtien ONE Christmas card, and the only shopping I've done was a few books from Amazon.

Spike, however, will have a big new fleecy toy under the tree though.

For us, "Christmas" is this Saturday, Dec. 16. You heard me right.

Kevin's family decided they'd do us a huge favor (TRULY!) and save us from having to fly. You've never flown unless you've done it in a wheelchair, with an FMS wife who needs a tank of oxygen (but can't get it on the plane since 9/11). So it's great that they're all coming here. REALLY great, especially since it's not easy for some of them, either (his sister is pregnant and has a toddler!).

But........I would suggest to every> It's crunch time - it's 8 days to Hannukah, 15 days to Solstice, and 17

Just the TITLE of this thread totally freaked me out. Now filled with cortisol and adrenaline. I gotta lie down.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS! :-D grrrrumble

Hey Patti,

Four more days and I'm on holidays for two weeks! I'm busy wrapping up a project here at work before Friday. I plan to make a beaded passcard holder for myself ;-) I lost the darn thing at the beginning of December, had to buy a replacement, and then I lost the replacement! But I found the old card just a couple of days after anyway.

I'm also awaiting some supplies so I can take a stab at the flower pendants in Bead and Button :-)

Best, Christine

I know the feeling. One year, during choir practice, when it was nearly Christmas, the group was taking its break, and clearly we were having a tad too much fun (i.e., dawdling!), so the choir master said, "C'mon, people, let's get back to work. Christmas is at out throats!!"

When he realized what he'd said, he cracked up, and we all nearly died laughing. Now DH and I use that phrase all year long whenever we're running late. :-)
