I am thinking that Sylvester is all ready to help Santa! or is he saying this is mine, mine, mine? You know it is amazing that these cats of mine just don’t miss a thing, they really don’t. I came home from finishing up the last of my holiday shopping, set the package on the bed and sooner than later, guess who was curled up on it? well you can see the evidence!

I really haven’t been doing much stitching these last few days, can you believe that? I need a break as I am slightly burned out with my needle and thread, plus there are way too many fun things to do! I love being among the shoppers at this time of the year, but I try to stay away from rush hour shopping. I enjoy the lights, the festivities, the music and all the decorations. There are cards to be written and mailed out, packages to be shipped, parties to attend and lots of wonderful foods to be prepared and served. And the cookies! well we save that for next week when I am visiting my sister. Ooh did I mention that I am going back East for the holidays? well I am! and we always bake Christmas cookies together. After seeing my family, that is of course the highlight of the trip. We will need to plan out our cookie menu as it differs every year.

Almost all of my packages are shipped, just a few more tomorrow.The last one is for my sister and I was going to ship it, but after all I am just going to pack in my suitcase.Thank goodness for Click ‘n Ship on the USPS website. This way I don’t have to wait in line.

I should be stitching on more of what I should be stitching on, but I may take a break and stitch what I want to work on! This is the time for ornaments for next year. I already did the candy cane, so now I want to do the bags. Shh, please don’t tell. and until next time…keep on stitching
