Oooh, look! My Home Management Book is all pretty and getting some use.

I’m making some plans for the rest of this month, while I enjoy a steaming mug of ginger tea and a horseshoe cookie from last night.

Here’s what is on my agenda (besides biscuit crumbs):

- Thanksgiving Dinner
*Post recipes
*Turkey Placecards
*Order fresh flowers for centrepiece
- Advent Calendar Tutorial
- Make Liturgical Year Boxes for our Homeschool Faith Centre
- Crocheted Basket Tutorial (as requested)
- Make Stocking and Fillers for Swap
- Send Felt Pin Swap
- Send Christmas Chocolates Swap
- Handmade Christmas Gifts
*Waldorf Dolls
*Slippers
*Mittens
*Teddy Bears
*Monk Dolls (maybe another tutorial)
*Book Thongs
*Rosaries (going to try handmade beads from lavender buds, hand-knotted)
*Hand-creams
- Mom and Dad G’s Anniversary (39 years!)
- Send magazine to the printer
- Upload items to the shop
- Post Preparations for Fit in 40

And that’s all around two Thanksgiving services, one a Mass, the other an Ecumenical service. Cate, Jack, and I are scheduled to ring bells. Carrie will be singing with the choir.

Rehearsals for bells, choir, and the Christmas pageant begin later this month as well. Diaconate discernment finishes in just 2 more weeks! Then we have Advent and Christmastide off before Formation begins in January. We don’t have another Baptism Preparation until January, so our Advent will be free to anticipate the celebration of Jesus’ Birthday!

I can hardly believe that the month is nearly half gone already. I suppose that having babes down with nasty colds and pneumonia would make anyone lose track of time. I hope the rest of your November is BLESSED!
