It's New Year's Eve 2008....

....and what am I doing at 9:55 pm? Updating my blog after working until 7pm. As everyone knows, I'm NOT a party girl so why not try and get some stuff done???? I finally finished addressing Christmas cards this morning before going to work but need to get some more stamps on Friday since some are taking more than one. Thought I'd share some holiday photos: These are from Fellowship Alliance's Christmas cantata (also known as Marathon week). We sing Tuesday through Friday night to a packed house of about 650 per night. The choir also serves desserts and beverages before we go on to sing. For me, it's work all day, take my concert clothes with me, stop and get dinner for Sandy and I, eat dinner in her office at church, change to concert clothes, do the cantata, go home. Repeat 3 more times. It's a blast but exhausting!! Sandy shot the one of me with the dessert tray; the gentleman in the lower right is our choir director.
Some decoration shots. I built two really cool outdoor shelves that mount on our railings. I'll have to take some outdoor shots or wait till Sandy downloads hers. We also created a Christmas tree farm of 3 trees that we're really happy with. (Becca is rubbing off.) The "Seasons Greetings" is over the main street here in town. Our manger set is one that we bought in Israel about 15 years ago and is made of olive wood.
Some other December memories: "Oscar" --Sandy's Harrods 2008 Christmas bear, afternoon tea at the Mulberry Tea House, a shot of some of the hundreds of Angel Tree gifts waiting to be distributed at church, The Cookie Files, and some of the many stockings I made to use as containers for homemade goodies. They were very well received!
Now it's on to new projects and new goals for 2009! Have a wonderful and blessed year!
Enjoy,
Janet

: ) Love that you're adding to your tree collections! : )

And I LOVE your stockings--were they fabric? So cute. I'm not surprised that they were well received.
