Crazy!! We are 10 days into December already. It’s been harder than I thought to keep up with journal writing each day. I have been collecting things to add to my journal and keeping my thoughts organized though so when time allows I’m able to get it down on paper. 
Here are just the first few pages.
The craft sale at school was kind of a bust last week. There were meetings scheduled most days in that space both before and after school…prime shopping times. I spent more than I made. Such as this little mouse ornament.
Isn’t he cute!?! When I saw him I knew I had to get him.
And of course this mug!!!!
You had me with pink. Then add the glitter and brown words. This is technically the second mug I have bought from her, then first one was a coaches gift for Mini-me volleyball banquet. My friend and co-worker does such a nice job with these custom mugs.
On Friday last week I started to get another tickle in my throat. Yep…sick once again. This time I got it bad! I had to call in sick today. I’m not even sure I’ll be able to work tomorrow. I have no voice…barely a squeak at times. I still feel pretty cruddy.
I think I got a little cocky thinking that I’d gotten this far into the year with just a mild sniffle here and there. I know better than to tempt fate like that again.
While I sat huddled under my blanket in my favorite rocking recliner, I knit this cowl for my girl with the yarn I shared two weeks ago.
I love the chunky yarn…such great texture.
I’m about to go make another cup of tea and do a bit more snuggling under my quilt.
That yarn certainly is beautiful! And I love your glittery mug.
Your December daily is looking good. I never am able to keep up with anything daily so good for you! You are going to be have a beautiful journal when you are finished.
Happy Tea Day,
Kate
I love your mug and little mouse ornament-so sorry you are sick again-may need a whole day in bed tomorrow-with lots of hot tea and sleep.
loving your journal-I got way behind on mine this year but I took lots of notes too
feel better Happy T
Hope you feel better soon Halle. I don’t think that is unusual, to spend more at a craft show than you make. :) You got some good things though. Love the little mouse. happy T day. Hugs-Erika
I love the little mouse and I wouldn’t have been able to resist it either. A fantastic mug as well and I bet the drinks stay warm in it for a long time.
Beautiful knitted cowl. I am trying to knie some thick woolie headbands for myself as I don’t like wooly hats. Maybe a cowl might be nice as well. Thanks for the inspiration
A Very Happy T Day
Love Chrissie xx
The little mouse ornament looks so cute, I think I would have been tempted to buy one as well and that sparkly pink mug looks lovely.
I hope you are feeling better soon, keep warm and look after yourself.
Happy T day wishes.

I love that mug :) I’m sorry you’re sick and hope it passes quickly so you can get back in the thick of things. Tea and a cozy quilt sounds like the road to recovery. Happy T Tuesday!
Sorry to here you are feeling unwell, I hope you feel much better soon! Your December Diary looks amazing ?. The craft sale at schoomust have been fun, I love the little mouse tree ornament, I would have definately bought one too …lol ?. The pink glittery mug is fabulous and the cowl that you knitted is beautiful. Take care and wishing you a happy T Day! J ? x
I’m sorry you are coming down with a cold.
Just look at that cute little mouse ornament while drinking a hot toddy from your glittery mug and you will feel better instantly! Seriously I hope it passes soon. Being ill is no joke.
The yarn is indeed fabulous! She’ll love it. You might make one for yourself too…
Happy T-Day,
Lisca
Yes, it is definitely hard to keep up daily. Now you know why I’m often late visiting. I really like what you have created so far, though.
I LOVE that mug, pink and brown being your favorite colors, as I recall. That’s a cute mouse, too.
That cowl for Mini-Me is going to be beautiful. I really like how it is knitting up.
PLEASE feel better soon. This could turn into something serious, dear friend.
Thanks for sharing your December pages, your art purchases, your cowl, and your new coffee mug with us for T this Tuesday. And get better soon please, dear.
Your journal pages are fabulous. And the mouse ornament made me laugh. In like a wrecking ball? The cowl will keep your mini-me nice and warm. Hope you feel better soon. Happy T Day
Oh man, sorry to hear you’re sick! The trials and tribulations of being around kids…they are really good at ‘sharing.’ Your coffee mug and ornament made me smile…I would have fallen for them too. Hope you are feeling better really soon, happy T day a bit late!
Sorry to be so late to tea. The winter holiday time is always crazy busy for my business. Better late then never ;-)
Your December journal is delightful. I know what you mean about not keeping up with daily journaling this time of year.
That mouse ornament is so cute and clever. I couldn’t have resisted either.
So sorry you’re sick again. Please get well quickly to enjoy Christmas. It’s awful being sick for Christmas ;-) Maybe your immune system is down and vitamin B shots would help (just a thought from someone with immune system challenges).
Belated Happy T-Day! Eileen xoxo
Good morning, a few days late! What a pretty cup in pink, and I am not even a fan of pink!
And I love the little guy on the ornament! So cute! Have a great week!
Thats the problem with craft fairs – you can spend as much as you make!! Hope yoi feel better soon! A very belated Happy T Day,Chrisx
I have been out all day and just got home. I found your beautiful card when I got home. I haven’t opened it yet. You may realize my tiny gift to you was made right before my sewing machine meltdown. Thank you for being so thoughtful, dear. I will show your card on Christmas day.
