A GOLD Christmas....

Whoo Hoo..... Looks like we are going to have a GOLD Christmas this year!!!!! Are you scratching your head, trying to figure out what I mean? Do I mean gold lights, gold ornaments, gold gifts???? NONE of them.....

We are having a GOLD Christmas because my dearly beloved, hunk of adoring hubby was PROMOTED!!!! Whooooo Hoooooo!!!!

Yep it is official..... hubby is now MAJOR McDonald!!!! (Man that just sounds strange!!! He has been CPT Mac for sooo long in my eyes.... Major Mac??? Nah - Maybe MAJOR pain in the rump! Bahahaha)



I am just soooo stinking proud of him I can't stand it!!!!! He has opted out of a "formal" ceremony (he'd rather poke his eye out with a sharp stick!!!) - so I think I will be traveling to the unit next week so they can pin him!!!!

He has been doing a Major's job for over a year now... and he totally deserves this promotion! I am just soooo sooo sooo proud!

I have to read (well type) to you the first item on the "official" memo - for those of you that are not in the military - so you can understand JUST how proud - and WHY I am so proud......


The President of the United States has reposed special trust and confidence in your patriotism, valor, fidelity and abilities. In view of these qualities and your demonstrated potential for increased responsibility, you are, therefore promoted......


Yeah that pretty much explains it all!!!!

Ok - I am off to work on my Christmas gifts..... Don't forget to leave a comment on yesterday's blog to be eligible for my drawing for the FREE "Twilight" book mark.... I'll be holding that drawing tomorrow!!

Until Next Time!

Feeling like an elf...

I just need some of those little pointy shoes and a pointy cap with a bell- and I think I would be complete! Well that is if Santa's elf's wear ratty old sweatpants and t-shirts that are three sizes too big and covered in paint, dried glue and mud!!! Bahahaha!!!

Yep you guessed it - I am still busy working away! In addition to having five star orders I need to get out... I am also still working on my 20 hand made Christmas gifts that are not done yet!!!! CRAZY - I KNOW!!!! Actually all together I think I have a total of 26 hand made gifts that I am making this year!!!! So that means I have six of them completed!!! Hmmm.... I better get on it!!!

But before I go... I wanted to share with you one of my "Twilight" gifts I made - and offer one up for a FREE GIVE AWAY here on my blog..... One of the gifts that we are giving this year is the complete hard back book collector's edition of the "Twilight" Saga... and I thought what would be more perfect than a hand crafted book marker to go with the set....


So I designed and created this book marker that has photos of all four covers of the books from the saga.....





I think it turned out quite cute!!! And if YOU think so too... then leave a comment in the comment section of this blog posting and I will do a drawing for one LUCKY winner to get one for FREE!!!!

(SOLD SOLD SOLD Now... if you are not feeling lucky - I actually have one extra one that I am willing to sell! It would make a perfect Christmas gift for that "Twilight" fan on your list! I am selling it for $8 plus $2 shipping. If you are interested - please email me at lori_mcdnld@yahoo.com and I will send you a pay pal invoice! SOLD SOLD SOLD)

I only made three of these... one to give away as a gift, one to give away as a prize here on my blog and one to sell!!! So each one of these are one of only three ever made!!!! Don't miss out!!!

Ok - I am off to get back to my elf'ing work!!! Bahahahah!!!!

Until Next Time!
