I'm organizing a swap:

Many of us have not had a great year and will be very glad to see the back of 2008...I know I for one can not WAIT for 2009 to start!!!

To celebrate, I'd like to hold a New Year/ Welcome to 2009 themed ATC swap!!!

Because this time of year is busy, you will make just one atc for each participant, but feel free to go overboard and glam it up with all the glitz you want for the New Year - have a party on paper ;)

Sign up by December 1st and atc's, self addressed envelope need to be to me by Dec 15th so I can have them returned to you all in time for New Year - giving plenty of time for all the Christmas mail slowness!

There are less than the normal number of atc's so I'm not sure how much postage will be - I guess it depends how many we get signing up!

To sign up just click on the link at the top and come and join in at the Facebook Group - Addicted to ATC's...We'd love to have you join us!!! Beginners welcome, Feel free to ask questions there and find out all about swapping ATC's!!

Changing plans...

Plans keep changing on me - this past weekend all my plans got changed and now today all my plans have changed. Sam ended up being sick all night so Lloyd has taken the day off to take Chris to his dental appointments. Chris has to have two teeth extracted today - and he can NOT miss the appointment because he's on a schedule and has to have two MORE extracted next week and then the following week has to have his braces fitted at the orthodontist so if he misses todays appointment the whole schedule is messed up. So I stay home with Sam who is sick and has to miss Pre-K, and Lloyd is taking Chris to his appointment.

Wall-E comes out on dvd today and Lloyd wants to pick it up. we are disagreeing on whether we should watch it today or put it away for Christmas. I think it should be put away for Sam for Christmas. Lloyd says we should watch it TODAY. I was going to win. But now Sam is sick I KNOW I will lose. Sigh......

So Lloyd is off on Friday too which makes this a three day week. And last week was a four day week....so thats nice.

So I am stuck at home today instead of my very busy day that I did have planned - rushing about in town and getting some Christmas shopping done as well as the dental appointments and taking Sam to Pre-K, and dance and library tonight..

So on my to do list today instead:

address and package up all the packages and Christmas cards to go to the UK as they all have to go next week.
Package up the next set of packages to go to the girls we sponsor.
continue my writing course work - some of which you saw yesterday in a blog post ;)
Start my nature atc's for the addicted to atc group swap

This of course is as well as snuggling up with a sick little boy while his Daddy is out - when Daddy is home he just wants Daddy!
