Did you miss me? My boyfriend took a pretty bad spill on the tennis courts on Sunday so I've been making sure to be available for him in case he needed anything. He's no longer bed ridden so things are slowing going back to their normal routine. Hopefully I can also get a blog post up for tomorrow. If not let's just hope next week I'll be back to my MWF posting schedule.
So, there's only 1 week left until Thanksgiving and I haven't done a single Thanksgiving related post! Can you believe it? I can't. Where has November gone? Maybe it's because the stores go directly from Halloween to Christmas and Thanksgiving doesn't really get much love. Since everyone is gearing up for Christmas I decided to as well. I decided this year for Christmas, seeing that I'm on an unemployed budget, I'm going to make Christmas gifts for my friends. Since I have quite a few gifts to make I decided I have to start early, especially since some of my friends live out of town and are visiting in early December so xmas gifts need to be ready to go in a couple of weeks! I'll probably post a Thanksgiving post later next week when I actually have Thanksgiving dinner and use a recipe from Pintrest, but for now, let the Christmas crafting begin!
Also, friends and family who do read/follow my post I hope you're still surprised to see your gift when you get them since the blog post won't reveal who the gift is for. :)
