Holidays

Things have slowed down a bit here in the crafting department.  I finished my Christmas cards and I made the ornament I needed for the ornament exchange.  I've been a horrible person and have yet to send it, but I think I'm also definitely a work in progress when it comes to mailing things.

On the up side (and on a completely unrelated topic), I got a Holiday VoxBox from Influenster!  I was pretty excited when it came in the mail.  I know, I'm still horrible about pictures, but I promise to get some up once I get using some of the awesome stuff they sent me.  I have an NYC New York City Color Liquid Lipshine (and it even came in a color I regularly use), a Kiss Nail Dress with these awesome little rhinestones to put on my nails, a Goody Quickstyle Brush, Quaker Real Medley Oatmeal+, EBoost Natural Energy, and a coupon to Sole Society.  I'm pretty excited about the Sole Society coupon because, for reasons I can't explain, I recently developed a thing for pretty shoes and I'm pretty sure I need more.

So far, I haven't tried any of it, but my husband is taking me on a date tonight, so we'll see what I get a chance to try out.  I'll keep you posted!


Please note:  I received all of these products complimentary from Influenster for testing purposes.  I am not being compensated beyond that for my opinion of these products.

Some progress...

I know it has been awhile, but I have a bad habit of getting distracted by books.  A lot.  For now, the sweater is on hold so I can finish a blanket that I've been working on for just as long.  I'm hoping I can get it done sometime soon so that I can include it in a box I'll send to my in-laws.  It's always been intended to be a gift for my sister-in-law.  I just hope she still likes the color.

I did finish some Christmas cards, and I have our family cards cut out for my daughter to decorate.  I also need to make an ornament for an ornament exchange (way behind on that), but the ornament I have in mind is actually relatively simple, and very pretty.  Someday, I will actually start putting pictures on here so you, my imaginary readers, can see my projects.  :-)
