The alarm went off this morning, and I turned to my husband and said "Have I been in a coma?". For some reason, the radio station was playing Christmas music. I didn't find it funny. Odd yes, but funny, no.
Truly, there are only five months until Christmas. Do you have your lists made, have you checked them twice? Do you know who's naughty and nice?
I have a lot of raw materials on hand for making things. But, I have few gifts actually completed.
I did order a book which arrived on Saturday. It's the sixth Christmas book from Gooseberry Patch. In it I've found several more things to start working on.
Today, I'm doing all the prep work for the snowglobes we are making for Young Traveler's. Our destination is Antarctica, so we have penguins, seals and walrus' (yes, there are SOMETIMES walrus' there). We've also made some really cute little polymer clay snowmen. I've gotten some ideas for other things that would work well in a snowglobes, so as soon as I can put my 'craft mom' smock away, I will start working on these for gifts.
So, run along now, and get busy! You will be so glad in a mere five months that you listened to me!

I was in Kay-Bee toys a few weeks ago, and they were playing Christmas music for their sale, Christmas in July. The clerks were supposed to be wearing elf ears, but had refused.
Because Kay-Bee clerks have so much pride to defend.
Mom, my wishlist is posted on Amazon. You have five months.
Oh BE QUIET! We're FINALLY getting summer around here - the last thing I want to think about is CHRISTMAS!
Yes, I'm already in a state of panic over how "behind" I am on shopping. I never do it early, or spread-out throurgh out the year. Every November I think, "oh yeah, I need to buy some gifts." And now to add to the frenzy that time of year is my son's birthday.
Amazon wishlists are a great thing. I think every store website needs a wishlist.
Hi Judy
Just wanted to say thanks for stopping by my blog today for a cup of tea and a visit. It is always nice to meet someone new.
I have enjoyed reading about your antics, but I refuse to think about Christmas just yet!!! Come to think of it though, it might make me feel cooler to play some Christmas music on these hot humid summer days. No, I'll settle for a tall glass of lemonade instead.
