November Wrap-Up Post


November has been a good month, and there are still two days left! Since I was crazy enough to participate in Nanowrimo, November has kind of gotten busy! Let me tell you a little bit about my month!

How was your November? What is one thing that you are thankful for? Do y'all still like reading my wrap-ups? Are you ready for winter?

    1. It was a good month! How was your November?
      Peppermint ice cream is AMAZING!! It's my favorite flavor! It's too bad that it is seasonal.
      Peanut butter chocolate comes in a close second... well, cherry cordial is really good too. I just about like ALL ice cream! (But maybe not Chyanne pepper ice cream, I think that is a little crazy!)
      Thanks for reading this wrap-up, Gray!

  8. ( catching up on blogs) November for me has been survival. I'm down to the final strip of work at tonight my final bit of the semester project will be submitted. All I have left will then be finish my final landscape design design then be done. Before I start that final project finish up though, I am in clean room mode. So, november has offcially been the month of stress.

    How old are you now? You mentioned something about age change. And your november sounds wild. I like your wrap ups by the way.

  10. I love Canva and Lindor!! Sounds like you had a BUSY month! What did you do at the YMCA at 5:00?! That takes some dedication to wake up early! :D

    1. Me too! <3 I did have a pretty busy month! Hopefully you had a good November too! Actually, my mom is the dedicated one! *winks* I will go with her whenever I can drag myself out of bed! We usually go with my dad before he goes to work... we walk on the treadmill or "bike" three miles, then do either free weights or the machines trading off arms or legs... It's good! Until you are feeling wiped out around 3 o'clock! :0

  11. Wow, you guys make your own maple syrup?! That's so awesome. I would like to live somewhere where maple syrup is not so rare and expensive. XD The Christmas cards you made are really nice - you have some good drawing skills. :) Thanks for sharing your November! I hope you have a wonderful December. xx

    1. Yes! We do! :D Last year, we didn't collect maple sap to evaporate, but I hope that this year we can. It is quite the process and a lot of hard work, but the maple syrup we get is so much better than anything store bought! Thank you! I enjoy hand-lettering! I'm glad you liked reading about my month, and I hope you have an awesome December as well! <3

      November was definitely busy for me! And Nano added to an already busy month! But it was good... I can't believe I got so much written! :D
      The fall leaves at that park were radiant! They seriously popped with so much color! Now, the leaves have all fallen and snow is on it's way!
      Is it??? I can't wait to read Heart On the Line! I love that cover so much for some reason! :) And I am on chapter 7 of Child of Mine, I'm enjoying it so far!
      YES!!! I didn't know you could, but you can! I designed and ordered some nativity skit/musical church service postcards to hand out for my church! They turned out so good! I was really happy with it! (I made a nativity scene on the cards out of different shapes so I didn't have to pay extra for any of the pictures... Had to get creative!)
      Bella is the sweetest! She is not feeling good so if you could please pray for her. She is 16 years old and has fluid in her lungs...
      YAY! We love to dress up our little babies! *winks*
      The fruit turkey turned out so fun! =)
      Yes, I made a room tour video and then I took some pictures and am going to post them sometime... probably in December's wrap up post!
      I'm SO glad you liked reading this wrap up post!!!
      And I love ramble long comments.XD
