Friday Favorites - November 29, 2013

Friday, November 29, 2013

This post-Thanksgiving Friday evening finds me just now settling down to take a little breather after a day-long whirlwind of activity. I've organized in the scrap room (and even scrapped a page!), settled in with my work laptop to write some code, and I even went out for a tiny bit of Black Friday shopping, though just at Michaels and Loft and well after the morning crowds had dissipated.

This weekend looks like it'll pretty much have the same agenda, sans the shopping since I'm so done with that for a while. The state of my scrapping table definitely says that Christmas crafting time is here, and I'll be doing some of that this weekend, as well! There are a few Christmas items creeping into the weekly roundups, and hopefully you'll find something inspiring in the mix!
