The garage sale was a great success! I made $260 and my mom made $150. Now for some Christmas shopping.
This afternoon John and I went to see the King Tut exhibit at the DMA. It was really well done. Amazing digital reproductions and beautiful artifacts. Very interesting and the mummification process and the preserved result is absolutely mind blowing! We brought back some cool stuff for the boys. We got their names in hieroglyphics and a pyramid that you "excavate" to find the hidden treasure.
After the exhibit we went back to Fort Worth for dinner at Byblos which is Lebanese. I have been wanting to try this place for a while and it was worth driving back for. The location is not in the best part of town but the atmosphere inside is very cool -almost bohemian. I had some awesome kabobs but John's was my favorite. It was like...Lebanese meatloaf. Very comforting, familiar but ethnic at the same time. Ask John about the...AHEM...entertainment. *wink*
We had a great day and it was especially nice to have a kid-free afternoon out with my hubby (it's been too long)! I hope everyone else had a great Saturday too!
So today and tomorrow I am having a garage sale. This morning I was only out from 8-11:15am and made over $160!! I am totally thrilled with that. Tomorrow I plan to be out from 8-12 and I hope that will get rid of the rest of my big stuff- some electronics and desk- that, I predict, will put me up over $200 dollars. I already sold some baby stuff that wasn't in the garage sale for another $75. I am so excited to have some Christmas money but even more excited to have some more SPACE! Space is at a premium around here. Garage sales are a lot of work and time but well worth the effort. Yay!!
So I've decided, at the last minute, to make as many of our Christmas gifts as possible. I should have started before now but next year I will plan better. So far I have 3 scarves, 2 beaded ice buckets (thanks for letting me copy you), 2 bracelets and three shirts to decorate along with a backsack and stockings for my family to sew. I'm really excited to get it all done. I love giving gifts but handmade ones are just extra special to give. I made John a blanket for his birthday to take to the fire station too. I hope I haven't bitten off more than I can chew (I'm good at that)!!

Kris Kristofferson's last name starts with his four-letter first name. Can you name a famous American whose last name ends with his four-letter first name?
Hint: The last name has seven letters.
