Christmas Songs…

Well, Heather tagged me to do this, so I’ll play along. 🙂

Christmas Songs Meme: This one is pretty easy. List (at least) five of your favorite Christmas songs and tag (at least) five of your favorite blog friends to keep your MEME going.

1. All is Well
2. O Come All Ye Faithful
3. Sing A Song of Bethlehem
4. God Rest Ye Merry, Gentlemen
5. Silver and Gold (from “Rudolph, the Red Nosed Reindeer” 🙂 )
6. Breath of Heaven

And FAR too many more 🙂

I tag Laura, Heatherly, Michael, and Natasha

I’m Thankful For…

…my relationship with Jesus…
…my family…
…my job…
…my education…
…my friends…
…my church…
…my U.S. Citizenship…
…the ability to read and write…
…freedom…
…the countless blessings the Lord has provided…
…the opportunities for travel that I have been given…
…being healthy…

…and countless other things I cannot begin to list now…

Thank you, Lord, for taking care of me! 🙂

Casey Mears…

Because my brother is AWESOME, there is a 99% chance that I will be meeting Casey Mears on Thursday night…and I am SOOOOO excited!! 🙂 He is awesome…and, though I already have an autograph, I need my picture taken with him…so excited!

Borat…

I just saw “Borat”…and I have not laughed so hard in a very long time! Oh my goodness! Of course, there are things in there that could be considered highly offensive, but I went in there prepared for those things…and it was really funny.

SOOO funny…. 🙂

Boutique Results…

100% happy customers…all but 6 bags of goodies gone…

……..

…$30 profit…

I’m just glad that I MADE some extra money, rather than be in the hole. 🙂

Several people have requested orders for Christmas–and that’s fine with me. 🙂

I’m just glad it’s over–I’m exhausted!

Tomorrow…

Finished:
See’s Fudge
Seven Layer Bars
Yummy Bars
“Hidden Kisses” Cookies
Coconut Bon-Bons
Buckeyes
Peanut Brittle

Abandoned altogether after a failed attempt:
“Sock-it-to-me” Cake

I’m ready for the boutique tomorrow, as far as I can tell. 🙂 Let’s pray, now, that it goes well, and that I am able to sell ALL of my candy 🙂 I just want to break even at this point…profit would be amazing, but let’s at least break even!

Countdown to Thursday…

Finished:
See’s Fudge
Seven Layer Bars
Yummy Bars
“Hidden Kisses” Cookies

Partially Finished:

Coconut Bon-Bons

Yet To Make:
Buckeyes
Peanut Brittle
“Sock-it-to-me” Cake

I think I’m forgetting something…it’s been a long three days–and I have two more baking days until the ADP Christmas Boutique–where I hope to sell a TON of candy!
