Making Sugarplum fairies has kept me so busy that I am just now wrapping gifts, today.
My husband is in Chicago at a Chiefs game, Ryan is at work, Sugarwings with her mom, and Dewdrop won’t be arriving with her daddy til tomorrow.
That means I have an empty dining room to spread out gifts and get them packaged up. I just finished my shopping yesterday, on a fun day out with some of the family, letting them choose their own pressies instead of trying to surprise them.
As much as I love surprises, sometimes you just gotta let them do the picking. And even though I’d heard that yesterday was the busiest shopping day of the year, I still preferred strolling through stores with people I love and going out to lunch over ordering from Amazon at home.
It felt more like Christmas that way. Oh, I used Amazon for quite a bit, but a shopping date was like the icing on the Christmas cookie to top off my holiday festivities.
I also made some gifts, like this Sully Sugarplum Fairy for a great niece. It is as pink, glittery, and gaudy as possible for a very sweet lil princess.
I used another photo of her on a card.
This banner is for The Guncles’ nature tree. They can take them apart to use as ornies or hang as is.
I used the painted brown paper table covers from a Snowbird’s Song as a background. I also made use of it as wrapping paper this year.
Speaking of wrapping paper, I’d better get to work. I am sitting at the table having my morning coffee, surrounded by stacks of gifties and rolls of paper.
Merry Christmas to you internet friend.
The girls have grown so. Sugarwings has grown into such a beautiful young lady. Dewdrop is still such a doll. I remember how her little life was in such peril in utero. So many blessings in your family. I pray for continued joy and blessings in the year to come.
Again, Merriest of Christmases to you and your family.
