The White Elephant party was fun last night. The folks in my parents’ small group are great and our group blended with them quite well. We took home a t-shirt that was given out at church sometime this year in size small - this will be regifted at some point - and a lovely handmade scarf that matches my barn coat quite nicely so I’m keeping that one. I almost came away with cute elf slippers that light up, but they got stolen from me by the single dude who plans to give them to his girlfriend. Whatever. The funniest gift was the coconut monkey. I can’t even explain it - just know that it is awesome.

Beau brought Jesse dressed for bed in his Christmas red jammies. He charmed the whole group, of course. The amazing thing was when I asked if he was ready for night-night, he said, “Night-night, OK,” and headed for the stairs. OK, then. So we put him to bed (in the pack-n-play to minimize room destruction) and while he chattered for about 20-30 minutes, he stayed pretty quiet until he fell asleep.

In the busy, I’ve been surprised by pretty consistent sales in my shop this month. It’s been a nice reward for very little work and I’m happy to be clearing out some older inventory. I’m planning to move my shop to a more professional username with Etsy in January and I also want to rework my branding a bit before ordering new business cards and product tags. And I have a couple of other jewelry orders to complete and get out this weekend (Barb, I haven’t forgotten your lanyard!).

1. Jen, I was just wondering if I should remind you about that. Thanks for remembering. I miss my lanyard; it’s my favorite.
