Semi Homemade gifts

I always like to add a piece of me when I give a gift. This year for a stocking stuffer gift I'm going to add a little jingle symbolizing memories in the past we've shared. It has become a YoYo house tradition when we put up our Christmas tree, we play Polor Express the movie. I really missed that tradition this year, w/the move and all, so I'm going to add a twist to our jingle. I hope he likes it. See below:
I selected 6 different beverages, purchased small jingle bells, and ribbon. This was a very easy semi homemade gift. Please feel free to steel this million dollar idea!

Many Blessings


Today is the 24Th November in 2010! Can you believe another month away and it will be Christmas Eve. Where has the time gone? Random things happen to me to stop me in my tracks to remember why I'm here for one, and two, how blessed I am in my life. Today I had a homeless person stop by our office at work. We were not able to help in my line of work, but we were able to help him by giving him a cup of coffee, cookies, and send him on his way. My boss, and I said, to each other, but where does he go? This man coming into our lives for a short moment made me realize that I'm glad to have a home, (well for now at least a temp home to go to)! I'm glad to have a job to pay the bills, food, gas, saving for a down payment for a home, and money to entertain me!
I'm blessed to have family, friends, and most of all, a husband to help me keep me in check when I get all crazy!
Speaking of crazy, we both have a fun filled 2 days ahead. We are currently at work, (yes I'm taking a break), then we have to finish a CD project we are doing for a friend, bake to pecan pies, make pinwheel appetizers and wash a load of jeans. We are celebrating Turkey day this year in a parking lot. We will be tailgating at the Cowboys Stadium with close friends and family. I'll post later with pictures. For now I'm wishing all of 3 people who read my blog a happy Turkey Day!
