Every year!! Craft projects right up to the last minute! One down, 5 more to go (that I can think of right now):
Meet LaLa:
The pattern came from Riley Blake Designs, but I realized on my way to work this morning that her pattern is for a two-legged elephant. What 2-year-old wants a two-legged elephant????
So flying by the seat of my pants, I made my own gusset for the belly. While I can now see where my gusset design went awry, it does allow for LaLa (as opposed to Layla) to stand upright on her own. So I suppose I’m somewhat successful.
Five different types of cookies have been baked, a batch of chili on Saturday and a batch of beef stew on Sunday. My feet are killing me! Two batches of baklava, some white chocolate & craisin popcorn, a cheesecake, and possibly almond poppy seed loaves left to do. Plus the craft projects….

I think the elephant came out great! Very creative. Cheryl and I are going to make cookies on Thursday. I am going to bring the popcorn to her house on Christmas Eve. I am obsessed with the stuff. So good. Have a great holiday.
