So horrified by yesterday's shootings in Omaha--sooo glad that all our scrapping friends are safe and praying for the families of the victims. It's so much harder when you know the place and have friends in the area.
And then I thought about it again as I walked across the parking lot and into the store to work this morning. It could happen here. It could happen in any retail store in any town or city in America. A very sobering thought.
I think it's time to go to the studio and start on my Christmas journal. I've got ideas in my head; just need to assemble. I've been sketching and journaling notes so hopefully I can make some progress.
More later,
Janet

Happy December
Can you believe it's December already???? Time for shopping, wrapping, baking, Christmas cantatas, etc. etc. etc. And of course, time for Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas!!!! Have great ideas in my head, just need to sketch them so I can actually do the pages later.
Thanksgiving was a nice peaceful day---just the four of us--- and then the leftovers on Friday. On this past Monday, I had a new experience--getting a wisdom tooth which I had chipped a piece off right before CE--extracted at the oral surgeon's. Wasn't as bad as I had expected, I actually had minimual pain even after the novocaine wore off. I didn't even take any Advil. Now to make an appointment to have a crown done on the tooth next to it.
I've spent the week weaving panels for a banner I'm making for our Ladies Retreat. The theme is Tapestry of Love and I'm sort of been commissioned to create this project. I'm thrilled with the results so far! It's really "an as-you-go" piece! I promise I'll post photos when it's a little further along.
Got our Secret Santas and Secret Sisters for ScrapEtc. this week as well as signed up for the page swap. And then there's that great collection of teal/brown/pink fabrics
I bought for another signature quilt. Oh the projects!!!
Had fun on Friday doing high tea at the Mulberry. Sandy had a gift certificate that had to be used so the ladies had a tea party. Love that!!
Well it seems Blogger doesn't want me to add photos just now so I'll try again tomorrow---
Time for bed--that 7am meeting comes early!!!
Enjoy,
Janet
Monday afternoon--I added the photos!
