Prepping for the Holidays

Last night I threw my *first* Christmas party! It was very low-key and mostly for my work friends. A few were sick and unable to come, but those who did (hopefully) enjoyed themselves! We had a fire going, music playing, and of course yummy snacks on the table. I timed it so that Brad would already be in bed. For drinks I had punch, hot apple cider, mimosas, and champagne. I also hired my dear mumsy to help out as a "waitress" and she did a fab job at refilling our drinks, taking coats, and clearing dishes! After awhile she joined in the conversations and regaled us with stories of her own.

We had a good time just relaxing with friends and talking about each others lives, work, and family. Hopefully this leads to more get-togethers!

I recently got an order for 3 hats, and here is one of them:

I am just waiting on the customer to email me with a pickup date. For those who don't know, you can look at more products on my craft blog or look up Kandy's Krafts on Facebook!

On Black Friday I picked up several presents for my friends and family, but only one small thing for me--a new wallet!

Isn't it the cutest?? I got it super cheap at Charlotte Russe. My current wallet is adorable and monogrammed, but the latch doesn't work anymore so it just pops open. Now I need a new purse...

Hubby got a second callback from the job that is interested in him. They got his license and certification numbers for verification, so it is sounding good! Keep him in your prayers--he has worked hard for this!

Tonight I'm having my dad over for dinner, and tomorrow I'm throwing a surprise birthday party for my brother at my house. I have yet another busy week next week! I am already working on my Christmas cards though!!
