In the Workshop here today a LOT happened.
Decorations all up and all boxes put away. Vacuumed, dusted. The LR is covered in Christmas hall-decking, lol, every surface.
(Visitors had to postpone to tomorrow and that was almost a welcome delay. Certainly, it helped me feel relaxed while getting it all done.)
I picked up all the cards and address labels and they are very well done. On the way, I made a Goodwill drop off. so multitasking.
Here at home, dstepson and DangerBoy built steps to the little building.
Dd25 and I worked on the cards this evening, but there is more to do tomorrow. She is really pleased with them. Because I separately ordered a color of envelopes to match her work, and got high quality, I think I actually impressed her, lol.
Cards discussion - we know we are sending 40 this year. Possibly 50. It's a little more important to us this year because it's the last year we send with a child, and also, we're still stinging a bit from 2 years ago when we didn't/couldn't send because of loss of addresses during move and being overwhelmed by move. HRH isn't even complaining this year about signing them all. Wouldn't be surprised if he comes up with more names, actually.
lucylee, I hope your dmother continues to feel good and like that was no big deal! When I stepped half-on, half-off concrete walkway, I went down while successfully protecting my face from concrete so my side of face hit grass/ground. Way better, of course, but still painful, bruised. And about 10 days to 2 weeks later lost some sight in that eye and HRH still blames the fall. That's wonderful that your dmother just drove away and is fine! A miss is as good as a mile! And you all get to remember the happy play with the children without any concern. So cute that your dgd played a star.
