Happy December

It's December! Can you believe it? I'm so not ready for it to be December!!

The kids took part in the "God's Gang" Christmas service at Church yesterday. Tom was Joseph, and Meg (multi-tasking like any good woman!) played the duel roles of a shepherd and a wise man!! They had lots of fun and it was a great service!

After church we came home and ut up the Christmas tree. I normally dont put it up before December 1st, but if it didnt go up yesterday it might not get up at all this year!

This coming week is going to be a challenging one for me, and one of the reasons I'm not ready for Christmas!! On wednesday I am heding back to Peter McCallum Cancer Centre for some more surgery on my face. It was pointed out to me last night that it is only day surgery and I'll be in and out, which is correct if you look at it only from a calendar/clock point of view. But on the other hand the last round of surgery was "only day surgery" too and look how that one turned out!

The surgery is going to remove the lump and "dog ear" that was left after the last surgery. I will be glad to see that go, and hopefully once it has all healed up my face will look more normal. It's still a little scary to be going into surgery knowing they are going to remove more of my face- and if they dont get it right this time then what happens? It's also a really bad time of year for surgery on your face- 3 weeks out from Christmas- and the time when you see more people than any other time of the year, and the time when the most photos etc are taken, and a time when there is so much going on and so much to be done!

So that's my week to come! Not one I am looking forward to at all! Hopefully I'll be feeling OK by Friday coz its the Scrap Therapy December Cybercrop- starting about 7pm. And speaking of Scrap Therapy.... here is one of the American Craft Modern Albums that I decorated as part of a "Look what the design team did..." challenge. The albums are on sale for 20% for the MAN of the month (sale ends Sunday so make sure you get in quick and order up on the albums, thickers, ribbons, rub-ons, papers etc)
