Oh my goodness, you certainly have been busy. I just happy that my shopping is mostly completed. Now I can concentrate on baking and grocery shopping. Wrapping is a snap as about 15 years ago, I made a lot of Christmas bags so we just pop the gift (with out without a box depending on the gift), attach a tag (which we reuse year to year) and then put them under the tree. Lots of beautiful Christmas fabrics that are so colorful and bright.

I love the idea of the memory ornaments. Both sets of parents are gone so don't really have a chance to make some memory ornaments but have been thinking of using clear glass balls and putting some items that will definitely bring back memories of lost loved ones.

It can be difficult taking care of parents. Not just the time but the emotions too. YOu want them to keep their independence but worry about them. My M-I-L was on oxygen at home 24/7 for a few years before she passed away. It got to the point that she couldn't do anything for herself. We did all her meals, someone came in to help her shower and other nurses where in and out monitoring her. We were fortunate that she lived right next door to us (good planning - the little house went up for sale as a bank repossesion). Keep smiling!

Oh wow Patty, you sure have been busy and sure had more than your share of problems as well. I hope your mom will be okay and hope you can find some time to just relax and enjoy this Christmas season. Take care and God bless.
