Hung out in surgery for a bit--if he feels like he wants me there...but for the most part I don't have to go (thank goodess) My name is on their sign and I have my own business card (that's when you know you've made it--well that and I get a laptop ha ha)



In November I got to meet and mingle with author Colleen Patrick Goudreau

December

raw sneaky pumpkin pie SO GOOD! yum! and I made it!

Has been a whirlwind month of awesomeness! I made a raw treat and have been waiting for the chance to conquer my to do lists which has included making ornaments, cards, handwarmers, cleaning the refrigerator, performing at the talent show,



and Skype for Christmas with the family! It was awesome! Better than being in the 28 degree weather that is for sure! ha ha I miss them though!






I love this picure!


even better when no one is looking

Christmas through my eyes! So much fun!
