Lady in a Small Town

We are not shopping today.  All we are going to do is drive home from New York, unpack, clean up our house, and hang out.

This weekend we have some craft supply shopping to finish up the scrapbook, but we probably won’t do any Christmas shopping.  We have a pretty good list going and most of the stuff will be pretty easy to buy around town.

Today, MIL and I have a “teddy bear photo shoot” for the scrapbook.  Gramma has a vast collection of teddy bears and we are going to use them to decorate pages.  In order to cover for this (since the book is a surprise), MIL is going to tell Gramma that she pulled her in the family gift exchange (MIL’s generation + Gramma) and that she is going to give her greeting cards featuring her bears.  When I have them uploaded to Flickr I will share them here.

Random fact: I have had the same bear since I was 18 months old.  We went to Florida to visit family and they threw me a birthday party.  He is a GUND and he has no name.
