The weekend before Christmas

I love this time of year.  The hustle and bustle of getting things ready.   My mother-in-law arrives tonight.  The guest room is ready.  She is a very easy going lady.  Even if the guest room was a total disaster she wouldn't bat an eye at it.  I am so fortunate to have her as my mother-in-law.  If anything I think my Type A tendencies might drive her a touch batty.  She is kind enough not to say a thing to me.

My husband's birthday was Friday.  We ended up celebrating on Saturday.  We went to see the new Star Wars movie.  The new characters were interesting.  The family really enjoyed the movie.  I thought it was entertaining.

We saw Yoda on the way home from the movie.  I thought he was cute.  There's nothing like Santa Yoda to wish you a Merry Christmas.

Today was a whirlwind of activities.  I cleaned up the two small storage closets in the basement, attempted to finish laundry, and picked up my craft room.  My craft room can be a dumping room.  I have to constantly stay on top of that room.  Really, I have to constantly stay on top of every room in the house!  I've wrapped some gifts.  It's not that there are so many.  Rather than do them all at once I wrap a few at a time.   I've started the Christmas dinner grocery list.  I think will make Tuesday morning the big grocery shopping day.  We need to bake our cookies.  There are still many things to do but I don't feel like it's crazy.  The plan for tonight is to relax, crochet a snowflake, and watch "The Librarian."

If I don't fall asleep first :-)

 
There's nothing like a tidy space to inspire me to craft.
