Blogmas Day #22

Evidently my Blogmas's will be short lived as now my camera isn't working!  I have some shots but then tomorrow it will be downloads and that's it, as the camera is not cooperating at all.  Oh well, I need to visit anyway and see what everyone else is up to this holiday season.  It's raining and even though "the roof boys" were here yesterday.....they did nothing and so I am using bowls that I need for Christmas baking for catching drips instead.  Please give me patience Lord!  In spades!
Here's my lovely Pioneer Woman bowl and this is heavy too!  I was amazed at the weight of it.

AFTER:
   Today I've been working all day on the 2017 Collectible Ornaments.....and when I am done...I am going to make the 2018 Collectible Ornaments so I won't find myself in this position again! LOL!  Yeah right........I got no baking done at all so hopefully tomorrow?!?!?  One thing I did do was buy a frozen pizza for the next 2 nights for supper until Christmas Eve and Christmas Day when there will be plenty!
Here's my Christmas mug and for the London Fog today I  used egg nog instead of the milk.....quite the taste sensation I must say!  I left out the vanilla but still added the honey.

I really look forward to this in the afternoons with a little sweet treat of which I have to bake........
I forgot to show you this the other day.  My daughter sent this in her box of packages also......too cute.....a little red truck with the tree and it's a racer! LOL!  That girl thinks of everything!  We both love the red trucks with the trees in them. 
I hope you're getting all your holiday tasks done and enjoying them at the same time!  The candles are lit tonight and it is a cozy, rainy night here in Arkansas.  I hope you are safe and warm wherever you are and enjoying this Friday evening!
Happy Trails!!!

  1. Well. As usual you seemed to be a very busy lady today. We had a cozy evening watching Podcasts. Yes, I have Dennis hooked on some travel podcasts. We lit afire and I knitted while we watched Podcasts. And it snowed. And it snowed. And it snowed! We had a zero percent chance of snow according to the weatherman. It turned into over 3 inches over a few hours! Oh well, I just hope it stops now, because our son has to drive over three mountain passes tomorrow to get here.

    What a great idea to start your 2018 ornaments right away while the holiday spirit is still going strong. I just watched a Christmas podcast by Cece of the “geeky girls knit”. She showed how she does her journals each year. I think it might be fun to keep track of my yarn yardage for both knitting & crocheting. She also keeps track of each project she makes. That could be interesting too. Have a lovely day tomorrow my friend.
    Blessings, Betsy

  2. Oh, I pray for a safe journey for your son and I hope he has those good tires like you have! What a cozy night you had. What travel podcast do you watch? That sounds interesting. I also thank you for the Geeky Girls Knit recommendation. I too would like to journal my knitting and crocheting and I had that on my list to set up a separate notebook for handwork projects. It will be n ice to see how someone else does theirs! YOu have a wonderful day too! Hugs ~ Sam
