October's Rudolph Day


Wow!  Can you believe it?  After today, there is just one more Rudolph Day before Christmas!
This is the message inside the card pictured at top of post.  This card was in my Etsy shop and sold quickly.
I really have not done a lot of Christmasy things today, but I did complete a personalized Shutterfly project that will be a Christmas gift for one of my grandchildren.  I dare not be more specific in case the recipient reads my blogs, but I am quite pleased to have gotten this project completed -- and for free, too!

Recently in chatting with my Nevada daughter she mentioned that her kids have often fondly reminisced about the Quiet-Time Puzzle Kits I've occasionally made for them in the past, and talked about what a fun gift that was.  So I am thinking I'll make those again this year.  They're simple and quick to put together.  Inexpensive too.


She also gave me a couple of other good ideas for easy gifts I might make for her kids.  So I have no shortage of ideas ... just time. 😃

It's possible that tomorrow I may be able to accomplish something else toward Christmas -- like making up my tentative Christmas baking list. We will see!

  1. Like you I am making my list and checking it twice. Christmas will be here before we know it.

    1. Oh, I know. I am really not at all ready, but I'm a lot more organized than I could be!

  2. Christmas is not all that far off...it is definitely time for planning and gathering. Hope that you find the precious time needed to make some gifts. I’d like to make some as well, but have not run into anything appealing yet.

    1. Oh, I hope you can find something you'd like to make and then the time and energy to complete the projects. I always have far more ideas than time or energy.

  3. I'm really feeling the time crunch right now. I start to feel overwhelmed then I take a breath and remind myself of all that I've already accomplished. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't!

  4. I love the poem for the puzzle! Didn't do my Rudy day either but next Saturday should be an ALONE day at home so I'll be enjoying my Rudy day then
