i was really excited about this table/shelf and thought that it would be a great addition in the bathroom. well, both right and wrong. this little table/shelf looks great in the bathroom, but it's a little too big...ugh. it's just a little too close to the toilet. well, i still really like it and will have to find somewhere else in our home to put it. and unfortunately i will have to paint it as well since the bathroom is the only place that something blue would go. still, a great score.
on to another topic...
i must admit that i'm a bit of a procrastinator. yes, me. i'm organized and all, but i procrastinate like crazy! so, last year i made a lot of Christmas presents and really enjoyed it. i'm wanting to do the same thing this year, but guess what?...i think that i need to start a little earlier! who would have thought?! four kids, school, errands, cooking, shopping, changing diapers, laundry, and everything else that i do makes it a little hard to make a lot of things for presents. i'm still going to do it, but thinking that next year if i get going a little earlier that would be a great idea!
if you are looking for some handmade gift ideas this year, here is a blog that has some really great ideas:

just one more thing. today was "dress all wintery" in my sons kindergarten class. well, guess what?...big fail momma moment this morning. i forgot all about the "dress all wintery" day until i was pretty much driving into the school parking lot this morning. boy, it's days like that when i feel like a big failure as a momma. i can't even remember to get out a few items for my son to wear to school for a fun wintery day. **sigh** on the upside, this friday is "wear a santa hat" day, and you can bet i'm not going to forget that one!

Ooooohhhh there are a lot of cute hand made gifts on there! Thanks for the link.
I'm sort of doing some DIY gifts this year except with the help of Etsy. Found a shop that does super inexpensive handstamping on metal washers - having all the nieces and nephews names along with either an encouraging quote of their favorite Scripture handstamped on them. I'm then going to include with the washer a keyring & a leather necklace rope. So they can either wear it as jewelry or use it as a keychain. Also used this idea for their school teachers and grandparents. :) They shipped today. Can't wait to get them!
By the way awesome find with that cute table!
