Carla and Jody had another boutique they were doing and so I stopped by on my way to my mom's to see them. I decided to get a few pillows for Larry's mom for Christmas. They had horses on them and I think she will enjoy and appreciate them. Carla also gave me the pillow and table runner she said I "earned" for all the time I spent helping her. I must say that taking those few things put me in the Christmas Spirit. Heck hearing Christmas Music on the radio does too. I don't think it's ever too early to start celebrating and preparing for this wonderful time of the year! As soon as I pulled away from the Church where the Boutique was I thought I should go back and get a cute sign that Jody made. I didn't need any of it but sometimes it's fun to add to what I have. I did end up going back to the boutique and buying a few things from each of my friends. I just felt like helping them out and having a part of them in my home this Christmas Season. We tried to take a few selfies and the results weren't that good...I need to work on that skill. We had a lady take a few pictures of us because I like pictures because they help me remember the things I do.
For the last few years Shelli has been buying my mom kits to make Christmas Cards. Part of the gift is also making the cards. I am lucky and have been invited to help out. It's fun to work together and watch those cute cards come together. It's fun visiting with my mom, sister, and niece. Kimleighel joined us a little later after she got done tending Sadie, it was fun having her there too.
Susan or Shelli cuts all the paper. I stamp all the designs. My mom ties the bows. Susan and Shelli assemble and ta da....they are done and cute as ever. I like this little tradition that cute Shelli started!
The cards are so cute and mom is ready to write her message in them.
