well, i'm a day late on my weekly recap, but better late than never! as christmas gets closer, i feel like my life is getting crazier! i'm officially on christmas break from teaching (woohoo!) and we had an adorable little sing along with my preschoolers and their parents. they sang jingle bells and the first verse of away in a manger and they were so proud of themselves!
happenings:

+ aj's mom and i drove to boston on thursday and brought aj and my cousin zac (who also goes to berklee) home for the holiday! it's going to be so great to have him home for a month!
+ i spent lots of late nights knitting this week...i think i knit 10 or 11 scarves in the past 6 days!
+ our christmas cards arrived friday. i love them! but also disappointed because we ordered 25 and they only sent 20...boo!

The cards are so lovely! Great job! I love the hand lettering! I hope you and yours have a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!! =)
ReplyDeleteHope you had a great weekend, Betsy! I know you're slammed this time of year but hopefully you're enjoying the business too! :)
ReplyDeleteI've been meaning to use your tutorial to make some scarves! I used to knit but it's just so time consuming. It would be so fun to use up some yarn and make a cute scarf in just one night.
