yesterday!

What a day! It was a great day looking back, even though it was hectic in stores and trying to find a parking spot was.... yep... you know what I mean, holiday parking lot game like musical chairs.
Jack and I headed out to see if we could finish our Christmas shopping. We decided to get another day of Jman (Jonathan our grandson) fix. So we swung through and picked up Heather (our daughter & Jmans Mom) and Jman to go with us. Our son-in-law Steve needed sleep as he was working 12hr late night shifts.
First stop: Goodwill
I am so glad we did as I found a great holiday dress to put in my prop box for photo's. It is black and gold and will work perfect for pic's of my grand niece's Lydia & Isabella. The best part!! It was $2.99. Wow, that is what I thought too.
Second Stop: Hobby Lobby
I saw a gift for my Mom their earlier in the week. I talked with Jack and we decided to go get it. We also picked up some wrapping paper, a little wooden box for another gift, felt and a neat metal thing I saw to use to hang some scrapbook pages. I will try to get pictures up soon. Some will have to wait as I will not post those till after Christmas, as you never know who is peeking.
Third stop: Target
Oh the love of Target. I could wander that store for a long time and walk out with nothing. Just so many ideas to use for decorating, etc. But we did purchase some items. A new phone, some of the last Christmas gifts, a lil space shuttle for Jman and a couple of other items. I (Nana) promised Jman that if he was good while we went to stores that I would buy his a "little" car IF he was not a grumpy butt. He was excellent!
Last stop: Food! We all needed food as we drained ourselves from all the shopping.
Then we dropped them back off at their house and came home.
I had a great day!

December Daily Album

Hi everyone! I decided at the end of November that I was going to join "Ali Edwards" in her "December Daily Album". I even contacted a friend of mine (Sarah) and she has joined me. YEH! I did not realize hard it was going to be to remember to snap picture's "every" day but also how much fun it is too.
This is a pic of my cover (8x8 album from Michaels)sitting on my craft room counter top and my first page.

Oh yeh, want to join in on the fun? Check out Ali's website: http://aliedwards.com/
