Been seeing a lot of people do this on their blogs and I thought it was a good idea.  Last night I found this blog with more ideas.  I think I'm also going to get out my Simple abundance book and begin again. My aunt recommended this book to us back in 1998 when she was in town after my father died.  I refer back to it quite often, and think now is another one of those times.
Things to be grateful...

I'm so bummed because my moo cards still have not shown up and if I don't mail out my cards in time a lot of people won't even know the Candlelight Memorial is this weekend.  Tomorrow has to be the day they arrive?

Quiet day today...

Spent the day with my mom and sister working on our Christmas shopping. Deb and I met my mom at Starbucks and started out the day with some Peppermint Mocha's.

Then it was off to the mall to get some shopping done.  (Oh and no more advent calendars at this Starbucks)
We got a lot of shopping done, though I can't list the stores I visited since Chelsea reads my blog.

I've got lots more to do with my 31 days of Christmas book, but I posted what I've completed so far here - I need to add pictures to the back sides of every page, but right now I think I'm going to try and do it day by day.  So on the 15th is the cookie exchange - that page will reflect that.  Or it may just be a random day that I take a picture around the house.  Cant wait to fill it up
