Keeping Secrets is HARD.

It's December.

Or at least, It will be tomorrow.....which means I am now fully immersed in Christmas present creation AND preparing for finals season of my first semester of grad school.  I know what you are thinking.
"Courtney, those things don't go well together at all!"  Oh yes they do, since sewing/crafting/cooking is my stress relieving activity of choice. I am getting so much done!! Unfortunately, I cannot tell you about what I am doing until after Christmas so that my friends and family don't get their Christmas surprises ruined by reading about them on internet.  All I can tell you so far is that I've sustained a minor glue gun burn and stabbed myself in the thigh with an embroidery needle (probably a direct result of watching a foreign film while working, which requires one to read subtitles)

Don't worry, though, faithful friends, because I have a few things tucked up my sleeve to share with you until December 25.

But first I've got to finish this paper.

Good Old Charlie Brown.  I should make some tree ornaments that look like that!
