Creeping Christmas


I do this every year. I start after Thanksgiving or the first of December gradually added Christmas decorations. So we started calling it creeping Christmas. I have to rearrange things in the sitting room to make room for the decorations because our sitting room is so small we can't have my regular stuff along with Christmas decorations all in the same room at the same time. Each day I add a new Christmas item(which has been stashed in a trunk. waiting for the creeping Christmas) and take away a item I had in the room to make way for the Christmas item....Sounds very complicated???? Well sometimes have fum with this and sometimes its just a complete hassle depending on my mood. LOL So officially creeping Christmas has arrived.


We had another jewelry party at this person house Friday and it was a big hit. Still haven't made enough money on the business this Christmas season. We are going to a craft fair located in the village where I had the party Friday. That will be December 16. Our Christmas Party at work is going to on the 14 this time we are going to have dinner at a pub and music afterwards which I think will be a lot better than just having a meal in a restaurant like we did last year. So that well will be busy. Speaking of busy Peter has been trying to set up a web site for our jewelry. I couldn't begin to know what in the world he is doing. We do get together every now and then look over the front page just to see what we want on it to make it customer friendly. It will be awhile before we can add the finished web site. We are setting up to take paypal as a source of payment, I have rejoined Yahoo chat to scan the rooms to see how many Irish people actually are there. LOL Just sort of a survey. When we do get the web site up and working I will send to everyone on my email list. Right now we want to focus on the Irish market and Irish people living abroad to send their relatives that lives in Ireland presents of Jewelry and maybe expand as we go along. Another goal I have for the coming year is opening up a shop in our house. So looks like we are going to be busy next year.


Peter is now looking for a regular job, he has been working as a handyman, doing home improvements. He was a engineer before that, so that's what I mean by saying a regular job. When I moved here he had just quit the job he was doing because they had moved to another city and it would have been too long for him for him to drive. So he started into the home improvement. I used to go on jobs with him at times until I got too tired going to my job and helping him out. Which was a bummer because I really enjoyed us working together. That's the way it goes when you have to have money to pay bills. Anyway the home improvement has decreased this year as the housing industry also, so that's the reason for Peter looking for another job. He should know this Monday whether he has this job that is close by.


I sent everybody in my email list to a site that I had sign into awhile ago. A memorial site for my deceased daughter. Well it cost money to continue the site so I didn't bother doing anything to it or even sending it on, well this week I got a email that they would open up the site for me again for a month only, for free. So that's the reason for the email to everyone. Please go visit the site and light a candle it would mean a lot to me. The pic is of me in 2001 in Louisille, Kentucky. I was taking Peter to the airport for him to go back to Ireland. This is the first time I met Peter in person.
