So, it has been almost a month since my last post.... ugh!
I have no excuse good enough to justify this!!! lol
Finals are over, Christmas shopping is done, tree and decorations are up... tomorrow I will do some last minute wrapping and the final touches on the remainder of the presents. Let the festivities begin!
Present wrapping is one of my very favorite parts of this holiday. I normally have Christmas music playing in the background while I do my creative little thing... I think about the person for whom the gift is for, anticipate what their reaction will be, and spend most of the day looking like a silly woman who smiles to herself all day! haha!
I wanted to wish everyone a very Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays, since more likely than not I will not be posting anything more until after Christmas. (And then I will be back in full force! Fuller-than-full force!)
The image above is of my new Christmas angel! Her name is Elsie Mae, she is a Standard Poodle, and is only 8 weeks old. This is a great time for us since I am at home much of the time with my work and am able to work with her - keeping very consistent.
We have many reasons for wanting another dog around the house, and have been talking about this for months now. As I mentioned, Della is getting older and I would like for the new puppy to be around her for awhile, in hopes that she will adopt some of Della's habits and characteristics that we love so much. In addition, with Adam joining the Police Academy and eventually getting a job that will include "graveyard" shifts, I will feel that much more secure knowing that I have 2 big dogs there to protect me and alert me in case of any emergency.
I just happened to come along Elsie at the perfect time and we couldn't be happier! She fits in with our family like a glove and is loaded with a wonderful personality. She will need it if she is going to be part of this family!! lol
Again, a very Merry Christmas to you and yours, enjoy time with your families and loved ones, and stay warm!!! =)

Oh you know the first bit reminded me of "It has been almost a month since my last confession". Too funny.
ReplyDeleteElsie Mae looks like a perfect new addition to the family, what a gorgeous picture. Looks like a real Christmas card.
Sending warm wishes your way for a Merry Christmas,
