Well... i finally got my tree up.. yesterday afternoon... after a HUGE day Christmas shopping with my friend Nic... what a day!!
I still feel like i have nothing done... i ended up buying more for the kids yesterday than anyone else... like the kids need any more..lol.. but every shop i went in there was a bargain to good to pass up.. and it was mostly on toys.. i am NEVER going into Toys R US again.. major damage in that shop...lol...

I have finally finished my Christmas table runner.. i am so happy... again very how you going in some parts and i wont let anybody look at it too close...lol...
