The Countdown Begins

Hi everyone. One last week to finish up all those holiday projects.  I am in pretty good shape compared to many years but still  I keep thinking of something else I  want to do. Like more baking because there are so many tempting things I would like to try.

But who really needs the calories, right?

And 4 1/2 days of school and then there's a short well needed break for about a week. 

Yahoo! Yahoo!

So I had a very quiet weekend with lots of reading time (enjoying this fictional story about an encounter between the Vikings and some Native Americans called The People of the Songtrail by Kathleen O'Neil Gear and W. Michael Gear). I've been looking for some out of my usual reads, and I think I found the right book to fit that bill. I also watched a bunch of TV including Jaws, the last 2 episodes of the Crown (season2)and also an old holiday film with Bing Crosby, White Christmas. I slept a lot and today managed to squeeze in a long afternoon of art.

The hubby requested a stack of holiday cards for his nieces so they were a top project but I did make a quick tag for  Tag Tuesday. Right now the theme is Christmas Memories.

And right now we're in the last couple of stressful minutes of a very close football game which has been interrupted with this LONG  stretch of commercials. Go Pats.
The game is calling my attention so I am keeping this post short.

Thanks for visiting my blog. I always appreciate it.

UPDATE: Wow, what an ending. The Patriots scored to take the lead by just a few points and then the opposing team (The Pittsburgh Steelers), thought they scored to take the win, but the ball had rolled a bit. So they made another try for a touchdown, and they only had about 10 yards to go, when the ball bounced out of the receivers arms and was picked up by the Pats, with only 5 seconds left in game.
Yup, that one had me on the edge of my seat.
Once again, thanks for visiting.
