So my Christmas preparations are complete. I like to enjoy Christmas and not be all stressed out. We had a lovely candlelight service at our church on Sunday night. I always look forward to that. Afterwards we met in our fellowship hall for desserts. Everyone brought something. It was a great time. Corey is home from college so she went with me.
Speaking of which, I had asked her to make me a Christmas tote bag. I picked out the plaid fabric, red ribbon and buttons and this is what she came up with. I love it!!
I thought it would be festive to carry my lunch in to work, or a library book, whatever. :) Since Corey is going to school for fashion design, she is used to sewing and making things like this. She even wears some of the clothes she has made now.
As I said in my previous entry, my chemo treatment went well on Monday, but whhhoa, I did not feel good that evening! Stomach cramps and nauseous...ugh. But the next morning when I got up for work I felt great and have felt good ever since. :0)
Tomorrow and Friday I work, and then Friday evening I am supposed to be meeting the Girfriendz for our annual Christmas gathering. More on that later.
Thanks to CHRIS for the adorable puppy tag.
Thanks to JENNY for the beautiful name tag....and also for the lovely Christmas card you sent me!

My favorite Christmas carol is
Christmas is coming
the goose is getting fat
please put a penny
in the old mans hat.
If you haven't got a penny,
a half penny will do
if you haven't got a half penny
then God Bless You....
