Sparkly white Christmas tree

I have a white Christmas tree this year. It's so pretty. My grandmother always had a white tree, and having it takes me back to all those Christmases at her house. Our family would get together, eat lots of yummy food, open presents, and hangout with each other long into the evening.
For Christmas this year (and every year just about) I'm making alot of my gifts. I always think I'll have no problem making everything and think I'll have plenty of time, only to find myself freaking out around the last week before Christmas. Last year I neglected to give my brother and his wife their gifts...I still have yet to make those gifts. But this year I'm doing better! I do still have a couple gifts to make, and have only 8 days until Christmas, but I think I will get them finished. Here's to hoping! And since I'm talking about making them instead of actually making them, I'm losing even more time. Oh well! Christmas isn't really about gifts anyway. At least not the kind that we buy, wrap and lay under our sparkly white Christmas trees. It's about Jesus. It's about God's gift to us. And He doesn't really fit under a tree. But He fits just right in my heart. <3

Not important

I have to admit that I think about really stupid stuff most of the time. Right now I'm thinking about how many hours of sleep I'll get if I go home right now, What I'm going to wear tomorrow...if it'll be nice outside again, whether or not my food I just bought at the grocery will be okay in the car until I get home, that maybe my husband would look good if he shaved all his hair (right now he has a mo-hawk) I'm thinking that I need to cut and paint my nails...maybe tomorrow. I want to think about important stuff. You know, things that really matter. I want to do something crazy cool and adventurous. I think it's coming for me. I just don't want to fill my life with things that really aren't important. Things that culture tells us is important. That's what I want.

I need internet at home!

I'm sitting in my parents spare bedroom using the internet because we don't have it yet at home. Problem is we stay here way too long most of the time and i end up not getting enough sleep. Oh sweet sleep. I want to start making things. Creative things. Again. I used to make things so much and it made me so happy. I want to do cards, purses! paintings, photography, clothes, coin purses, cute appliqué patches for plain clothes. Man! I need to do this stuff! Yeh. I'm gonna do this stuff.
