Yeah, I can't believe it's here already either. I haven't sent any cards out (I'm sure no one really actually will miss them) and I didn't take any treats to neighbors and friends this year, so I feel completely behind.  Alas, it will have to be that way.

I will be much more careful posting these pics so my hard work doesn't get wiped off the internets this time.

Since I won't try and recreate the massive entry that got lost a couple of days ago, and I should be doing about a dozen other things right now, I decided to post random stuff!
