{life lately} getting excited

Last weekend my mom and I had our last craft show of the year and now it’s time to kick it into high gear as I manage the Holiday rush!  We are going to squeeze in a few visits to some of our favorite handmade markets, though.  No doubt about that.  I love shopping handmade for my friends and family.  It’s so nice to buy something from another creative and share it.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner.  Any big plans?  Ron and I hop around from house to house eating up all of the wonderful food and sharing thanks.  We also have our 7th Annual Cookie Swap coming up in early December, and I’m so excited!  I can’t wait to see what the girls make.  I still need to find time to decorate… eek!  It’ll all fall into place, because this is the most wonderful time of year, isn’t it?!

Other than that, I’ve just been busy filling orders and going through our house finding more things to donate.  This is the perfect time of year to take your old coats, gloves, shoes, etc. down to your local shelter.  It feels so good to help with what you can.

Oh!  I have another special guest for another fun {studio sunday}, so be sure to check that out tomorrow!  I know that you know her and you’ve probably shopped her site once or twice, wink wink.
