Just coming up for air today. I have been locked in my craft room trying to get caught up on stockings. We have suspended all of our listings, but there are always a few people who waited too long and "really, really, please, please, please, pretty please, it's our first grandbaby,  our first baby" etc. The hard part is that often they want something changed which puts us even further behind. But do I say no? Never!! Can't disappoint a new mom or a new grandma. That is just not right. LOL! So far we will be able to ship everything by December first, but of course there are some gremlins who live in my craft room and like to gum up the works. Why can't people be more like me? I never ever wait until the last minute for anything. I'd better sign off before I get smited. hahahaha

Word of the day:
The Dedication of the Lateran Basilica in Rome - Feast
Holy Gospel of Jesus Christ according to Saint John 2:13-22.

Since the Passover of the Jews was near, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
He found in the temple area those who sold oxen, sheep, and doves, as well as the money-changers seated there.
He made a whip out of cords and drove them all out of the temple area, with the sheep and oxen, and spilled the coins of the money-changers and overturned their tables,
and to those who sold doves he said, "Take these out of here, and stop making my Father's house a marketplace."
His disciples recalled the words of scripture, "Zeal for your house will consume me."
At this the Jews answered and said to him, "What sign can you show us for doing this?"
Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up."
The Jews said, "This temple has been under construction for forty-six years, and you will raise it up in three days?"
But he was speaking about the temple of his body.
Therefore, when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they came to believe the scripture and the word Jesus had spoken
