What, what!  It’s Friday.  I could not be more thrilled.  Harper has a slumber party she’s attending tonight, so I’m going to enjoy an all boys evening while watching Turbo and eating yummy food that is in no way good for us.  It’s going to be grand.

Today for our kindness we showed our mailman appreciation with coffee and cookies.  Baked good can change the world people.  It totally can.

Tomorrow we are giving away kids books in a local store.  My kiddos love this one.

Moving along…You know those people who have all their Christmas shopping done before Thanksgiving?  They are crazy and I envy their organization and dedication.  That’s just not me.  I’m still working on getting everything bought or made up.  Gift giving is something I absolutely love.  I love trying to pick out or make just the right, unique gift.  And handmade…don’t even get me started.  It makes me all jolly and happy.  I’m still finishing up the last of my handmade gifts.

I recently read this post about packaging cookies.  These are all fabulous ideas, but I’ve made zero iced sugar cookies this season.  Zero.  But what I have made are lots of handmade items…like key fobs and camera straps and onesies and burp cloths…and who wouldn’t like some handmade lovelies all packaged up in a wrapping paper stocking and sewed shut?!?!?!

Ashley facetimed me the other day while I was wrapping presents.  I told her I had decided to buy zero Christmas wrapping paper this year.  Every year I buy new paper and have some leftover.  This is the year for using up all those years of leftover Christmas paper.  I refuse to buy any.  Not even one little roll.  I’m going to use up every last inch of the leftovers.  I’m determined.

So I’ve got a hot Friday night planned.  Hanging with my dudes, watching movies, eating yummy food, wrapping a few more presents and hopefully finishing up some last minute gifts.  Enjoy your weekend.

Happy Friday!
