A weekly event hosted by Sheila from Book Journey to discuss your reading week ~ the books you've read and those you plan on reading in the coming week. I love this meme, it helps me stay on track ... well, most of the time. Thanks Sheila!
We had a wonderful Christmas, love and laughs and special family time, couldn't have wished for more. The homemade 'photo booth' with plastic tablecloth, signs and props was an absolutely hoot and I can't wait to scrapbook the photos.
and here's a couple of the gifts I made dear friends ... might have to do a post on all the homemade gift goodies
gingerbread in a jar
I made soaps, body butters & bath salts, wrapped the soaps in old book pages
This week I'm off to visit my Dad for his birthday, New Years Eve.
Pop back tomorrow for my Best of the Best Reads in 2013 post.
