Merry Christmas.....

Chris and I wish each and everyone of you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years!!!

I am still here...tired, but still here....

I can't even begin telling you how crazy and busy it has been around my house and at work. I am ready for the holidays to be over with. I can't wait until our vacation. We are taking the week after Christmas off. I am looking forward to having that week at home. Maybe I will actually get some stuff organized for the new year! Okay, stop laughing. You are more than likely right, I will probably be in my jammies and watching movies that entire week (which doesn't sound bad at all).


On Saturday, I spent the day working on some Christmas presents. Not all of them are pictured here for obvious reasons. I wouldn't be much of a surprise if my parents and sister saw them on my blog. LOL!


I made this cute little notebook and set of Thank You cards for my boss' wife Jo. And I made these adorable picture frames for Chris' three boys. The picture inside was taken back when Matt was home in February. It's the only picture I have of all of my boys.

I started working on some "lovey dovey" mini albums for my Etsy store. These two I got posted today. I also made (8) 4"x4" notebooks and (8) 4"x6" notebooks. Those haven't been posted to Etsy yet. I have run out of steam this evening to post them.

After the first of the year I am going to be opening another WhatchaMaDoodles store at Art Fire. I haven't decided yet if I am going to move all of my stuff from Etsy to Art Fire or have two stores. If I decide to have the two stores, I better start managing my time better and start busting my tookus and making more stuff! LOL!

Possum is starting to get use to the Three Stoogettes. She still gets pretty hostile with them, but we have caught her playing with them. And look here, Peanut Butter is taking her life in her own hands by actually laying up against Possum. This lasted for a couple of hours, but once they were both done with their naps, Possum had a hissy fit and Peanut Butter moved. We are making progress, slowly but surly.

Chris and I are having to decide what to do with Daisy. She attacked Scrappy yesterday. Fortunately, she didn't hurt him, but her mood seems to be getting worse and worse. She is very aggressive towards Scrappy and she will not come in the house with the kittens. I am afraid we are going to have to find her a new home. She is such as sweet dog, but she probably needs a home where she is the only animal. I was out in the backyard with her and Scrappy and I was watching her. She was very agitated with Scrappy. I realized what she was ticked about. She digs holes all over the yard and hides her bones in them. I think she thinks that Scrappy is trying to get them. So before we start looking for her a new home we are going to keep her and Scrappy separated and once the dog bones are gone, we are not going to give either of them anymore. Hopefully, once she digs up all of her bones and they are gone, we will see how her attitude is and maybe we won't have to find her a new home. That will make me sad if we do. But I can't take the chance of her hurting Scrappy. He is getting old. She has never tried to hurt anybody, so I am not fearful of that. She just doesn't play well with other dogs. So keep your fingers crossed that our theory is correct and she is just protecting her bones and if the bones are gone, she will relax.
