Good evening friends!...I just added some new offerings for this new year on my selling blog....I'm going to be adding new things as I get them made....I'm looking forward to stitching alot of patterns I have had for years and haven't stitched...That is my goal this year anyway...lol...I hope to finish another one this weekend that i'm just in love with... 

Hopefully we will be doing another demolition project in the late spring or summer months after Upward sports is over...Upward is just now starting for the basketball season and Tim is the director over it, so he won't have any time for much else til April....So, in the mean time I'm going to see what I can get made during these months...I'm also wanting to stencil...I just haven't decided where and what yet..

I'm thinking that my blog needs updated and changed a bit also...Hmmm!! We'll see! :)

Well, today is officially the first day back from Christmas vacation...Luke and I started back our routine on his second half of his year of kindergarten.. I can't believe the year is half over already....Tim went back to work last Wednesday after 2 1/2 weeks off...Taylor starts back this week on her last semester before her graduation in May with a graphic arts degree....And i have been stitching some new samplers to hopefully get on my selling blog tomorrow....

I really really reaaaaaallllllllyyyyy needed this vacation time...Now, when i say vacation time that doesn't mean vacation from everything...I was explaining this to my dad yesterday...When I say vacation time I mean not having to go anywhere, no schedules, getting to work on samplers, lots of family time, and movie hang out time...There is ALWAYS work for a mom...I granted myself permission to not have to make the perfect Christmas this year with my decorating...I was tired after working on the house all this time since October starting with the floor demolition and the house demolition that it leads to...My decorating was minimal this year and took all of 30 minutes to take down.....I stayed off the computer alot and I think my battery is recharged for this new year now...I think...:)

I didn't get any of the Christmas offerings made that I had planned to offer to you...So, I may do some throughout the year this year instead of waiting for next Christmas...I've been working on some samplers designed by Stacy Nash the past week...I had so many things planned, but time just got away from me...

I'm looking forward to getting back into a routine and I'm looking forward to the gorgeous temps we will be having this week...By the weekend it will be 76 here in Georgia!

Until next time~~hugs, Jen

Merry Christmas from the Gass family!!! I hope you had a day of laughter, peace, and love......:)

I did a bit of decorating today...Lucy Blue was so tuckered out that she had to curl up under the tree and take a nap...It is her first Christmas...

I only have my greenery up right now...I still need to get my orange slices dried...See the 4 gallon crock on my fireplace? Taylor bought that for me for my birthday back in October...We had just begun the demolition on the floor the day before, so she had to keep it in her room for weeks for safe keeping....

Well, I'm working some in the diningroom before bed...Have a blessed night...:)

We just can't get away from this terrible tile...lol...The carpet was pulled up and furniture moved for the carpet installers to show up 2 weekends ago...Yep! More tile! Thanks goodness we aren't having to remove this...I'm in the middle of finally Christmas decorating...I started yesterday....I know it's sad! Two weeks before Christmas, but it couldn't be helped this year...I hope to post pics of our new hardwood flooring soon...I didn't want to show pics in the middle of a complete mess...But let me say I LOVE IT!!!! And it has made all the mess and construction sooooooo worth it!! 

I'm so behind on emails and I'm going to try to get to them...We finally had the cable company come out last week and we haven't lost any internet connection since then, so hopefully that problem has been taken care of...I had also x-stitched some Christmas items and I haven't posted them...Still tossing that around since it is so close to Christmas...I'm so behind on things and hopefully can get caught up after I get this Christmas up...I have been so far behind on visiting blogs and just being online...Sorry about that....

Oh, I am getting the information on the flooring for all that have asked about it...The hardwood was labeled wrong, so the information I had originally wrote down was wrong... I will get that information ready for when I post pics of it...Hopefully in a few days!

I hope everyone is enjoying the Christmas season...Is anyone as behind as I am this year? We just started our Christmas shopping last Friday....lol
