Make-A-List Monday - Not Much Going On This Week!

Hi, all!

Well, we've finally made it to the Monday before Christmas - are you ready yet, or are you still working on last minute projects?  It's been crazy around my place, but I think I've finally finished all the gifts and just have a little bit to do to get ready for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day cooking.  Hooray!

I've been so busy this week working on packing things up that I haven't even thought about my week from last week - but let's see how it went...

1.  Wrap the Christmas presents.

Done!  And all under the tree, too!

2.  Keep working on packing up the non-essentials. (That means everything but quilting stuff!)

I not only worked on packing up the non-essentials, I even packed up some of my quilt room stuff - and it looks very strange in their now!  There's still lots to go, though...

3.  Make and attach labels to all the grandkids' quilts.

Done - but of course, I forgot to take a picture before I wrapped them up!

4.  Gather and send more documents to the lender.

Done!  I think we're all good until closing...

5.  Purge purge purge!  Goodwill is becoming a daily stop!

Yes, I'm still dropping stuff off at Goodwill on a daily basis.  It's amazing how much you can accumulate in 13 years in one place!

6.  Work on the H2H quilt ideas.

I haven't spent much time on this lately - but it will give me something to do while sitting poolside next week!

7.  Attend our house inspection and take measurements of the house, then draw up a scale floor plan.

Went to the house inspection, took measurements, but haven't been able to stay awake long enough once I sit down to draw up the scale floor plan!  Another poolside project, I guess.

8.  Keep up with any quilt ministry needs that come up.

We gave away three quilts this week, but for the life of me I can't remember the backstory.  Just know that they will be giving quilt-y hugs to two men and a woman in need of some comfort...

This one went to the woman...

...and these two went to the two men.

Apparently my brain got packed away somewhere this week, because if I don't write it down, it's gone!  Thank heaven for notebooks and lists!  

And if you noticed the "poolside" mentions above, here's the explanation - we are going on a cruise!  Bad timing with the move and packing and all, but it was planned before, so we're just going to enjoy it.  And since I have no idea if we'll have internet or not, I'm going to take a little hiatus from blogging, just until after the first of the year.  If I can get some posts written before I leave, I'll schedule them, so you may still see something from me.  And cruise pictures after I get back!

So my list for this week is short...

1.  Stuff the Christmas stockings!

2.  Cook lots of yummy food for Christmas Eve breakfast and Christmas Day meals.

3.  Enjoy Christmas with the family!

4.  Pack for the cruise!

5.  Get the house ready for our house/dog sitter.

6.  Pack up some more boxes, and take them to the storage unit if time allows.

7.  Keep up with any quilt ministry needs that come up.

The next Make-A-List post will be in 2020 - isn't that amazing?  When I was a kid, I was fairly sure I would never be so old that I saw the turn of the century, and here we are at 2020.  Will wonders never cease?

Oh, and be sure to check in tomorrow, as I will be posting the winners of last Wednesday's giveaways!

And now the question is - - - what are YOU working on this week?

Hugs!
