Ten Months From Today...

... will be Christmas Day once again. Two weeks ago I received my Hallmark Keepsake Ornament Club renewal in the mail. That means the 2014 Hallmark KOC Dream Book will be here soon!

This year I'm already spending a lot of time thinking about stocking stuffer gifts for the entire family. Last year's gifts were not the greatest. I know it's because we were moving, but still, I don't want a repeat for this year.

I'm also looking forward to Christmas because we will have a new grandson by then. Our daughter Jessica is expecting a little boy in June. As you know, if you've been reading my blog(s) for a while, I use weather related terms to identify my grandkids. The new little man will be called Storm on my blog and I can't wait for him to arrive!

This means I will be stitching two more Christmas stockings this year - one for his house and one for my house. I also have a couple of other gifts I want to get stitched up for Christmas gifts. I am bound and determined though to stick to my drop dead deadline of November 1st. If the stitching is not complete by then, it will have to wait until next year. I'm tired of furiously stitching the second week in December trying to finish a project! Jessica and Janel have already been appointed my accountability partners in this determination.

I see from reading your blogs that some of you are looking forward to Christmas 2014, also. I enjoy reading your blogs and getting new recipes, gift ideas, and general holiday inspiration!
