December 4

Today for our kindness advent we are shopping for a family for Christmas.  We’re actually doing this later today so Josh Kelley can join us.  So all 6 of us will hitting up Target along with it’s unsuspecting shoppers.  God speed Target.

Tomorrow we are over paying for a Contributor newspaper.  I’m a huge fan of what the Contributor stands for and is doing.  Our go-to distributors are Ms Eileen and Mr Rob.  We smile and wave and chat…even when I don’t have cash to buy a paper.  They’re just nice people.

Let me insert some random stuff for you here:

*I ordered my Erin Condren life planner recently.  2014 is lurking.  I’m a write stuff down type of person and this will be my third year rockin’ this planner.  It’s superb and perfectly perfect.  Easy on the eyes too.  It also helps when your friends give you gift cards so the moola doesn’t actually come out of your pocket.  But it is totally worth the money too.

*I’ve decided, along with Susan, that Hudson needs a Buddy the Elf costume.  He would totally make the best Buddy.  Yesterday while we were on the hospital elevator, as the door closed he went running up to it from the back of the elevator and said, “Oh, I forgot to give you a hug.”  Sol and I totally cracked up.

*Amon is still randomly falling asleep.  I just don’t understand, but it’s hilarious.  The first picture below he is literally in the middle of our kitchen floor.  #crazyness  He now reminds me of those fainting goats.  If you’ve never seen them, please go you tube it right now.  You won’t be disappointed.

*I’ve got an art giveway coming up next week on a blogger friend’s site.  I’ll let you in all the details when it starts.  I kind of love it.

I also finished up this 24×24 canvas for a customer.  This was my last custom order of 2013.  I think it was a good one to end on.

And I made this piece for Amon’s nook in the boys’ room.  I will never be ashamed to say I dig Katy Perry.  Ever.

*Christmas is suppose to be this wonderful, loving Jesus & others time of year and yet, every year I feel like we get more judgmental.  Santa or no Santa, lots of gifts, just a few or no gifts at all, participate in elf on the shelf or don’t, advent or no advent…ummm, the list could go on and on.  Can’t we just accept that everyone is different…no two alike…and that families are all very different.  Who needs more judgement and feelings of inadequecy, I know I certainly don’t.  What works for one is not going to work for all.  Different strokes, for different folks.

*I just heard Huddy say to Sol “Oh stinkin’ jack balls.”  I just couldn’t not share this little tid bit.

*And lastly, I have a 4×12 Mumford and Sons canvas ready to ship.  $115 plus shipping.  Send me a message HERE if you are interested.  **CANVAS SOLD**

That’s it.  Hope your day has been grand.  Peace out.

Happy Wednesday.
