A Reasonable Excuse for My Absence

It has been a crazy mad house around here the last couple of months. I have been busy doing projects for Christmas and still have more to finish. I made some boxes for the boys to store their treasures in, a chess board (I still have to finish the pieces), some cash envelopes for some people, and the world's most involved project I have yet to complete: a felt quiet book for Jonathan to have for church. I wanted to stop before it was half finished, but I stuck it out and I am satisfied with the end result (even though it still didn't turn out the way I wanted). There are many more and I will post more about them later...after the holidays since those are gifts for people who actually read this silly blog;)
