had the fun idea to use cardboard boxes for gift wrapping this year, each grandchild and adult child had one, fourteen total......filled boxes, wrapped with colored tape and stickers, stacked,then stood back and pondered "how it the heck are we going to get these all in one vehicle to bring with us Christmas morning!?!".....it did take two!!!! but was totally worth it to see the look on everyone's eyes.......plus it was less waste of paper, trash accumulated, handy carrier for gifts and a an empty cardboard box has lots of creative/useful possibilities.......
made this Blueberry French Toast breakfast dish for Christmas breakfast, one of those make the night before and bake in the morning......totally delicious

did a little much needed tiding up in the kitchen and now since i don't need to cook, decorate, wrap, shop (well we do need some food other than sweets eventually) .......i'm heading out to my sewing room, need to finish putting the rows together on my Four Knaves, so it can go to the quilters and i can then vacuum/clean my sewing room.......need to tidy just a little before starting off on new projects......
also had my granny square quilt, made a long, long time ago quilted finally, so i will put the binding on today also.......
enjoy.......
