20 days and counting!

Well, you will be happy to know that at my home, we have our Christmas tree up and decorated!!! Our tree is 10 feet high----so decorating is no small feat! It is beautiful. Makes me wonder why I have waited so long to put it up. Poinsettias are on the front and back porch...the wreaths have been hung.
Now, to finish all the handbags orders. We are literally working around the clock. It looks like I will be all caught up on Sunday night about midnight. With only one purse party left, the busy season is coming to an end. I am looking forward to one month off, December 15 to January 15. We are already scheduling parties into March and April. I encourage any of you who may be interested in one, to email or call, and go ahead and save the date of your choice.
Our makeup bags are now available in 3 sizes, 5", 7" and 9". The prices are $10, $12, and $14 respectively. They can now be ordered in any of the current fabrics.
Today, the new blue and brown turqoise fabric collection came in. There is toile, stripes, dots, they are so cute. I will attempt to load a picture so you can see later this evening.
Have a good evening. Thank you again for your interest in LFW Designs.

24 Shopping Days Left

Can that really be true? 24 shopping days left before Christmas. Here is the funny thing about that. I ALWAYS have my Christmas tree up on the Friday after Thanksgiving. Well, that didn't happen this year. It still isn't up. December 1 - and my tree is still out in the barn. It looks like it will be Sunday evening before we have a chance to get it out--and then there is only 3 weeks until the big day.
Which brings up the subject of shopping. I have also not bought one single gift. I could have already started shopping, but I have been just a little busy, and I do not know what to buy anyone. Even out little nine-year old son - he is now officially at the age where he is too big for all the toys that are fun to buy, and he's to young to just outfit him with gift cards. The two teenagers will be perfectly happy with money and/or gift cards. That makes them really easy---but not much fun!!! Our two older daughters are impossible as well. Neither one of them can come up with anything that they might want. Santa is really having trouble this year!! However, our two little dachshunds, Miss Ellie and Bessie Lu, are easy. A new bag of bones and they will be thrilled!! They will dance all around. Too bad we all don't get as excited over something so simple.
My plan for the week (starting tomorrow) is to put out two Christmas decorations everyday, and to buy at least one present everyday....online shopping is getting more appealing all the time!
Good luck to all of you, who are facing the same dilemma, good luck decorating the trees, baking the cookies, addressing the cards, and choosing the presents! Tis the Season!!!
