Counting Down

It's inevitable, no matter how organized I am for the holidays, something always comes up and slows me down. This year, Jacob fractured his tailbone and was off school for 3 days, and THEN we got hit with the stomach flu. Two boys, six sets of sheets, 5 pairs of pyjama's and only 3 hours of sleep. One has recovered and gone back to school today, the other is still home.....
No wrapping can get done, and I still need to get eggs to start my baking! I did finally manage to get a few cards made and sent... still more to do, but I'll work on them tonight

If all goes well, I'll make at least one batch of cookies tonight, maybe the Amish Ginger Cookies that everyone loves, but are so easy to make. They'd be great teacher gifts too, especially nice in the embellished coffee window bags I've got thanks to my friend Katie M.

I'll take photo's while we bake tonight and post those along with the recipe tomorrow.

Crop Craziness

The world is spinning, it's 2 days before our next big crop and there's still so much to do! Plus, my regular life with the 3 kids and one work aholic husband has gotten so busy we actually had to SYNC our palm's over dinner last night.. it was pretty funny.

The Spooktacular crop is going really well, we've got great sponsors, and great gifts, and have doubled our number of attendees from our first crop.. we're really excited! We're just working through the last little details, the little stuff that we think makes the difference between a good, bad or GREAT crop... what do you think? What do you love about crops? hate about them?

Just curious... and if you wanna have a spooktacularly good time this weekend, come on over to Swansea Town Hall in Bloor West Village and join us - we've still got a few seats available.
