We had a great meeting last night.  I want to thank the ladies again for spurring me to greater efforts.  My living room looks great!  Well it did last night at least.  This morning I wake up to find that Moriah has peed on the sofa, so I currently have the cushion covers in the washing machine.  Maybe I WILL see about renting a steamer to clean the carpets and the sofa.  I still have a list of things to do in here.  Namely to declutter the inside of my coffee table, which is a large wicker chest FULL of UFOs.  I need to make some hard decisions about some old, old knitting projects. 

   I'm still working on gift lists for the family.  I have a few things written down, but if I'm going to start ordering next week I need to finalize some lists.  I have enough mypoints points for one more $25 gift certificate to give away.  I'll peruse the list at mypoints and see if there is something that pops out at me.  As far as handmade gifts go, I've decided on mittens and tams in 2 ply shetland.  Now I need to see if I can buy a bag of mixed colors from Jan. 

  Our Grand Giveaway is this Saturday.  People have been so generous.  If you have any things you want to give away just give me a call before Saturday.

  When we get together on the 30th we'll be making Christmas cards and gift cards and such things.  So bring your old Christmas cards and scrapbooking supplies (fancy scissors, cardstock, stamps and pads) and we'll see what we can accomplish.  That will push me to FINALLY get my address book updated too.
