It IS still Tuesday, but I can’t believe how far behind I am over here. I owe you all kinds of stuff, we have been moving and shaking and Birdie #2 and I are up to our earlobes in orders from our boutique…so we have been crafting like crazy, but I haven’t had a free moment to show you all what we’ve been up to.

I do however want to share this little goodie. Especially since we have delivered to all of our neighbors and teachers already, so it is safe to share!

Behold…holiday lanterns, wait for it…personalized with etching!

We were going to do Merry Christmas, then decided if we did house numbers, they could clear out the holiday extras when Christmas was over and use it year-round!

Another one we did for Greta and her monastery.

Oops, looks like this one didn’t get a ribbon yet. The lanterns are from Ikea, we etched on one side, stuck a candle and some holiday greenery. Done! And so far they have been a huge hit.

In other news, my face is healing incredibly well! As soon as the black eye fades, I think most people who didn’t know I had it done will not even be able to see the incision. I’m apparently a super-healer. Woo hoo! Thanks for all of your wishes and good thoughts. (And dinner! I’m looking at you Diane!) Love you all.

I PROMISE, so promise – to be back soon with all the happenings around here. Just need to finish up a few more orders so we can start on OUR Christmas!
