I hope everyone has enjoyed families, fun and food this Christmas.  I have had plenty of each...never too much!  Although, the only redeeming thing I have eaten in the last 3 days is the artichoke in my artichoke dip.  Yikes! 

I am enjoying a sign making free couple of weeks and am now able to reflect of some of the signs I had the privilege of making for gifts this year, and one stands out above the others.  Thanks Susanna for asking me to make these for you.  It was an honor.

May we all cherish the moments we have with our family while we can still touch, smell, hear, be with and love them.   Let's make our moments count.

I am almost ready for Christmas

I can't believe how long it's been since I have taken time to visit my little blog.  My life has been a little bit of crazy lately. 

I am on the countdown to finishing up special orders...prediction is that I will wrap it all up by the 11th. 

Fingers are crossed.

So thankful this year for a growing business, people who love my creations and a hubby that supports my sign-making craziness.  Also so thankful that I learned from past experience and limited the amount of custom orders I  took on for this Christmas season. 

Since November I have taken 69 custom orders....I have 22 to go.
All of this progressing while trying to prepare for craft shows and Christmas open houses....I can't even express how thankful and relieved I will be when it is all completed. 

As soon as that last sign is delivered, my home is going to become a winter-wonder-land!

I want it all for Christmas this year.  It is our oldest sons last year at home and I want it to be....everything.  I want the smells, the sounds, the lights and presents wrapped up with big bows.  I want this year to leave an imprint in my kids lives that they carry with them into their own future families. 

So...let's finish up the less important things and get to making some memories. 

Oh mistletoe...I want some mistletoe.
 Merry Christmas everyone!!
