I was doing pretty good until I started reading all the emails. Hurry! Last Three Days! Final Free Shipping! 40% off Ends Today! Coupon Good Only Until Midnight Tonight! The caps and the exclamation points add to my sense of "Oh, my gosh. I better get into fast gear! Time is running out! I have so much to do!" So, I do what I always do, make lists. I thought that I had a pretty good handle on gifts for our 19+ family, but in black and white, not so pretty. The easy people have too many things, the hard people (read males) have too little. Somehow it always works out just fine. I will make some cookies, serve adult beverages, and bake cheesy potatoes en masse. Cleaning needs to be done, sewing projects finished (or, in some cases, started!) So....what did I do so far today? Spied some green buttons and decided they would make a cute tree to plop on the studio bathroom window ledge. But, I didn't want to glue these buttons - some are old and deserve to have an ever longer life. Ah. Wire. Bend, twist, thread, twist some more. Find tie, bell. Done. Now, I really must get serious. Time Is Running Out!!! Jerilynn
