Christmas craziness

I don't know why I do the things I do sometimes....I decided on Saturday (5-6 days before Christmas) to make a tree skirt for our 2nd Christmas tree. Now I've known for two years that we have a 2nd tree and that it doesn't have a skirt. But this year I decided to purchase a skirt at Target. But, they were not on sale and I do NOT go out shopping the day after Christmas for 'specials.'

So, that left a few options:

1) buy the expensive skirt
2) go out frequently to see if the skirt I liked was on sale and still available
3) buy a cheap skirt (yuck)
4) or make one.

Guess which one I chose -- of course, option #4. So, Saturday evening I spent time at Hancock Fabrics picking out felt, ribbons, rick-rack, seed beads, bugle beads, colored felt, metallic threads, etc., etc., etc. I had a great time.

Now I'm working to get the basics done on the skirt. All of the embellishments will have to wait until after the holidays, but I will get the fancy stuff onto the skirt. I'll try to post a picture when I get it finished.

Have all the gifts been wrapped yet? NO! I'm too busy creating a masterpiece of a tree skirt! ha Thank goodness I'm the only girl around here. They guys aren't stressed that there is only one wrapped gift. They're guys! As long as there are gifts to unwrap on Christmas Day, they'll be fine.

Thank goodness for small favors!
