Last night I went to the Nutcracker Ballet with Tanya, Drea and Shayna. We all dressed up and had a fun night out on the town. After I got home I went back to working on my Christmas presents. This year I am making all my gifts. I really like doing that- making gifts rather than buying. I usually buy the kids presents though, I'm not much of a toy maker. Last year I found an old box of my grandpa's photo slides from when we were little kids. We had never seen many of the pictures (and most of our other photos from our childhood burned in a housefire) so I went through and picked out some really great ones, made 5x7's and framed them up. That was pretty cool. This year I made lip balm with cocoa butter, shae butter, mango butter, vit. E, beeswax and jojoba oil, scented spearamint or strawberry. I'm also making one other thing for everybody that is really cool and taking me a long time. I'll have to tell ya later
