I admit to coming here way way too many times to check. But I made 2 sets of boot cuffs for Christmas presents, cooked lots of Christmas goodies and cleaned my house!
 
I was checking much too often as well. Sunday was DH's birthday, so there was lots of gifting and cooking (and an unrelated nap) to keep me busy, but yesterday was hard. I took DS to his final retainer check at the orthodontist, and took both kids for haircuts. We finished the Christmas decorating and hauled all the boxes into the garage. We wrapped gifts and watched The Santa Clause. And I worked on designing a case for my new phone (I think settling on something simple after deciding some of my other ideas were too "out there" :p). And that only left me time to try to come here about 7,432 times. :giggle
 
oh! good question Anne! I cleaned. Like serious big time under the cabinets, along the baseboard in the kitchen clean. Things that hadn't been cleaned in a long, long time. My old body is very sore now! And yesterday ... in-between checking the site a zillion times to see if it was up, I wrapped ALL the gifts! I feel accomplished! :)
 
I checked often... lol! I scrapped a page, but will have to upload after work today! I played some games on my phone, and hung out with family this weekend.

Everything looks so pretty and I'm poking around now...
 
I suspect the productivity level of TLP Peeps was at an all-time high the last 2 days :giggle (it was torture :groan )

I shopped a bit, wrapped a bit, cleaned a bit, cooked a bit and watched Star Wars IV, V, and VI (actually, the kids watched them all, I only caught 1/2 of IV and 1/2 of VI.. but it's the thought that counts)
 
Besides going through TLP withdrawal and checking the site every hour on the hour, I scrapped a challenge LO after work yesterday. :-)
 
Well, I checked in a bunch to see if it was done! Lol! But then I watched Star Wars V with my boys (and napped a little in the middle) then I did a little art journaling/painting and I FINALLY sat down and did my Christmas cards. I had to make the digital version to go inside the real card, sign all the cards, print the address labels and assemble them all. I sat and watch many episodes of Vampire diaries on Netflix and had some wine while doing all that.

Oh and I did a gingerbread house with my boys. :)
 
Sunday I took my youngest out for breakfast, did some shopping, came home & cleaned, then wrapped a few things....and even though it was too early, I checked the site at least a dozen times. Yesterday I was in the office, but still managed to check on my phone a few times, and when I finally got home last night I was too wound up to set still, so I cleaned some more. But not one tiny bit of scrapping did I do....I'm not gonna' get any challenges done this month at this rate. Maybe I can call it resting up for MOC? :fairydance
 
Well I should have been making Christmas cards (yep I am always this last minute) but I actually started binge-watching Scandal on Amazon Prime. It's been on my watch list for ages but just got the email that it's being taken off Prime on 17th January so I'm gorging on four seasons!
 
We were in the car from Detroit to western Michigan and then the mad dash to get ready before my parents got here. I kept busy, but I admit to checking in on TLP everyone in a while out of habit.
 
I kept checking in here, but I did get my groceries ordered, menu planned for the week, worked on a couple of pages for the creative team over at Get It Scrapped, talked to a good friend who I'd lost touch with, needed to clean the house but didn't really get much done. Oh well!
