Afternoon all.  Cloudy today but warmer.  As long as it doesn&#39;t rain&#33;&#33;&#33;&#33;<br /><br />Talking Mom over to my aunt&#39;s tomorrow for the day and its a bit of a drive - and that&#39;s always better without the rain lol.<br /><br />Worked on my hat this morning, for our Red Hatters Christmas Extravaganza - added a red velvet ribbon, some poinsettias and purple mums and a red bird - so I&#39;m all set to go.....ooops .... guess I need a dress as well  -  it will be pretty cold by then  <img src="http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/wink.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":wink2:" border="0" alt="wink.gif" /> <br /><br /><br />Skipper - I make myself a promise every December to stay away from Hallmark lol - no more  room on the tree.  No balls, no garland no tinsel - just all those fancy Hallmark decorations - but most of them make noise so it&#39;s quite the cacaphony of sound.  DH&#39;s first wife strted it and I continued on.  All of the ornaments have sentimental value - Like the Scottish piper for my father in law and the Irish Santa for my Uncle - and my favourite - the Strawberry Shortcake Mom and Daughter one :o)  Don&#39;t know who&#39;s going to take over when I&#39;m gone - not that I&#39;m planning on leaving for a while :o)<br /><br />Anyway - off to the craft room for clean up. Talk at you later - take care&#33;<br /><br />
