Hey Staci, great list and I am still thinking about you guys and hoping you're ok (((HUGS)))

Over here in the UK you can buy presents from some of the charities and you get things like 'a bicycle for a vicar in a remote Indian village' or 'a goat for a village in Africa' and you get a certificate to give on Xmas day, saying what the gift was. Maybe that could be an idea to track down in the US for your Mum? Just an idea :)

Hi Staci, thanks for visiting my blog:)

I LOVE your layouts, I've spent ages on your blog checking them all out.

And I've never tried eggnog, I keep saying I'm going to and never get round to it. I think it may be the thought of the raw egg, lol!
