I almost bought a Christmas present today. As in a "Christmas 2006" gift. This is the girl who normally starts shopping around the 23rd of December, give or take 36 hours.
Needless to say, it felt very odd to think of actually bringing this item home and storing it for a full 364 days, so I didn't start next year's holiday shopping just yet.
In other news, this December was Moonwater Designs 2nd busiest month ever. Yay! I'm celebrating by cleaning the mess otherwise known as my art room. I sent about 40 custom charms out the door, many of the orders from friends and co-workers. The word is finally getting out in Fort Collins. The other day, my boyfriend's sister Jennifer was wearing a necklace I made. She works at a coffee shop in Old Town, and a few of her regulars came in. One proclaims, "That necklace looks like one of our friend Nicki's..." Jennifer explained that I did indeed make the necklace- and it turns out that the two people are work acquaintances that I don't really even know that well (and didn't think knew about MW). Cool!
I made my mom a necklace this year with the quote "When babies are born, so are grandmothers." Although it appears as though I'm hinting at something, children are not in the queue until at least 2010, give or take 36 months. :P I just know how crazy she is about the little muchkins otherwise known as her grandchildren. Next year, it's a "I heart Great Pyrenees" charm.
PS- I just have to note that my mom, who forever has proclaimed to not being a dog lover, sent my sweet puppy several gifts this year, including a kiddie movie called The 12 Dogs of Christmas. He loved the rawhides and *I* love the silver treat container that replaces the 2-foot high tall bright yellow box normally accenting our kitchen countertop. Thanks, ma! We did squeeze in a showing of The 12 Dogs yesterday, and Koda gives 2 dog pads up.

I did not leave the house today. It took all day to clean and make it almost look normal. Kids were very good today and Grandma got laundry caught up it is a little different having two young ones again that is double laundry compared to what I am use to these days. I am tired and I am glad today was a day off. I can't wait for the 3 day week end next week that will be less stressful. I have to make Brecli a blanket this week so she and Danni won't fight over the one I gave them. All of Danni's baby ones wore out so that is my job this week. It won't take long I just need to get motivated. You were brave to go shopping today. I will Gayle her necklace and I love my new one.... thanks soooooo much!!! Mom
