Christmas Presents on the Bulletin Board

I'm not sure how I 'missed' adding this bulletin board image to the Christmas RoundUP I posted last week? 

I'll go now and reverse engineer it into this article. 

How brilliant is this teacher? 

Talk about multi-tasking!

Parent gifts are used as decoration on the bulletin board. 

BAZINGA!

Now, pin the idea so you remember and you're 333 days ahead of the seasonal situation for next year.

Now. How about your gifts? 

What fun goodies did you receive?

Look at the ultimate stocking stuffer I received!

So let's take a poll. 

What was the most 'unique' present received this season?

Were you naughty or nice? 

Did you deserve coal in your stocking? 

Yes, folks. 

Your favorite nomadic Author-Illustrator will now be 'truckin' about the countryside in style. I am the happy recipient of my very own travel trailer tag-a-long. The question remains. How long will it remain custom order white? I have already begun to envision the possibilities! Has anybody painted a vehicle/trailer? Any insight on the type of paint required to embellish with rainbows? 

While we're all still on 'family-time' I'm going to add the happy evidence of our latest time together. As I type, we are headed via car evidence above, from GA back to FL. Here's my mom and dad with their newest GREAT-grandchild..... which makes me a GREAT-aunt for the first time. 

My mom, Baby N, Mama Kelly, Sister Rebecca

My Parents, Niece/Mama, Daughter Noelle + Moi

We were so fortunate to have a nice-sized component of our family in the same setting for Christmas. Our youngest, Noelle and her hubby Zac drove down from DC -- just a heartbeat after she'd had oral surgery to remove all of her wisdom teeth. Those who know her well will notice her atypical inability to smile documented above. We were all so grateful for Z's care + concern lavished on her recovery, so that we could be together.
