It has been a busy few days, or might I say, weeks. The supplies have been gathered, and many of them have already been put into use. All of my chocolate-covered confections have been made and are in the cooler, as are many of my cookie batters. Actually, I am ahead of schedule, which allows me to take a few minutes and blog.
The whole process began on Friday, when I was able to get the house decorated. The front room is decked with trees, my Santa collection, Nativities, and my village, which is my pride and joy. It took quite a few hours to get it all set up. I am looking forward to enjoying this roomful of Christmas for the next few weeks.
Monday and Tuesday evenings will consist of getting my cookies baked and into containers. Wednesday's jobs will be getting all of the loose ends tied up, and preparing for my open house. You ARE attending, right? 😁 My open house is Wednesday, November 23rd, from 3pm until 10pm. The location is 721 East Avenue A. I will have loads of food and drinks. You can sign up to win a free item of your choice on the date of your choice. I will not be selling anything off of the table, but if you taste something you'd like more of, you can place an order. This entire event is free. However, if you'd like to make a donation, I'll have a jar there for that. You are under no obligation to make a donation. I'll just enjoy having you over! An RSVP is not required, but helpful. I just want to make sure I have plenty of food available for everyone! I can't wait! Last year, I had over 40 people come through during the course of the day. I'm hoping more will come this year. If this is the first you've heard of it, consider this your personal invitation to attend.
It's time to get back to work. I am looking forward to seeing you this Wednesday, and I hope you'll be able to attend. I understand that many people are gone or out of town, but for those that are able, please stop by and enjoy some goodies. Thanks, and God bless!
