i {heart} sketches 45

Can you believe it's December already? I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving and got some awesome Black Friday deals :) I had my family over for the Thanksgiving day meal. I did a little (very little) Black Friday shopping, spent the weekend picking up the rest of the leaves in our yard, putting away stuff for winter and putting out the Christmas lights. WHEW...glad that's all done before it gets too bitterly cold here. Now just to finish the inside decorating :)
 
Well, it's Monday again so you know what that means -
