My Craftiness

Well....here I sit still crocheting coasters at my desk. What in the world. Anyway, I am finishing this last coaster. This weekend I vow to not crochet anything. I will be working on the pictures, getting the matting cut out and everything glued on and stuffed in the frames. I will also, in my spare time (what the heck is that?!?!?!) be working on my grnadmother's scrapbook. It is my sincere goal to have it finished by Christmas and give it as a present. Now, whether or not this happens is beyond me. We have a birthday party tomorrow, church Sunday, and while my kids are at a play with my sister, me and hubby will be off to find a small bike with training wheels for my youngest and a bike/skateboard ramp for my oldest. So, between this and laundry I may be able to get those things accoplished. We did get everything wrapped that could be wrapped and put under the tree. So, once I finish making the rest of the gifts we can get those done as well. Hope everyone else isn't feeling the pressure of the holidays, however, I am sure most are. We just have to remember what the holidays are all about. I keep reminding my kids that it isnt about santa or presents, but about family and celebrating our Saviour. It is hard in this day and age, when so many find it fashionable to denounce the Christian faith. So many also find it so much easier to be politically correct than to stand for what the truly beleive in. So many retailers are so afraid to offend some client base that they fold under the pressure. Now, I know it is easy for me to say since I do not own my own business and do not have to deal with the whiners. However, I do deal with a couple of young whiners in my household. I know that it grinds the nerves, but when they understand the whining will not make me cave to their every whim they soon stop. They get the message. We, as a country, have given the message that even if you are not in the majority, the majority is so opposed to hearing the whining they will cave eventually. Off my soapbox until next time. Have a great weekend!!!
