A Busy December

Time is flying by and we're as busy as ever here!  But today I pulled out all of my wrapping paper and bows to inventory it so that I didn't overbuy when I went out this morning.
 I still have a lot of paper (I color coordinate!) from past years.  If you look at this paper, and then look at my designs, you can tell a lot about me and the colors I like!

And then I saw these old fashioned candy canes at Target.  They were .88 cents for twelve!  Not much is under a dollar any more.  Bob's candy canes were around when my kids were small.  I read they've been in business over eighty years!
This wreath and two garlands are as far as I've come with decorating though.  I hope that after I get the shopping finished I can focus a little more on making the house merry and bright!

Happy Stitching!
