Now, normally, I'm not too thrilled at Christmas coming waaaaaaay quicker than it should, but this year, it's different.
I don't know if my general outlook has changed (which would be good! Any amount of happiness is a triumph against depression), or if it means even more this year than others. My girls are doubly excited about Christmas this year as well: it means daddy will be home! Oh, I am so excited! Not only that, but I've even made a few holiday inspired pieces. So far, a lovely lanyard and an oh-so-elegant bracelet with Cream Swarovski Crystal Pearls, garnets, and emeralds!

I've started making lists for the kids, including parkas and long johns! I still have to figure out what actual fun stuff to get them! Any suggestions for a 1 year old boy and two girls, 3 (just about 4) and 5?
So, I'm hoping to eventually have a little more substance in my posts here soon. But, like it's titled, I ramble! Anyway, have to hop off here soon, DD wants to watch Hannah Montana....again. Ha!
