Merry Christmas and the winner

Just popping in to say a Merry Christmas!

Finally the reveal of our holiday card from Shutterfly.com! I couldn't be happier with how they turned out.

also, the winner of the giveaway is Jewel!

Congratulations, shoot me an email at blog {at} gooseandtrisser {dot} com letting me know if you want a digital GC or a physical one, and if so where to mail it to, and I'll get that right out to you!

Enjoy your holiday! In the morning I'm going to indulge in homemade french toast and bacon for breakfast, present opening and giggles with T and Bird, and then Chinese food for dinner!

p.s. hope you like the new blog update...perhaps I have too much time on my hands and should get to bed.

Christmas #2, through

Christmas #2 with my family happened this morning.

We let Bird stay the night at my parents and she got to have fun playing with her Aunt Charisma and Uncle Jimmy and running her grandparents ragged.

In the morning we came over and had a little breakfast. My other brother Charles came by and we opened Bird's presents and the ones that we made for our family since we wouldn't be there Christmas day.

Again I was completely in awe of the generosity of family and amazed at how the simplest things made Bird smile and laugh. I was also stunned and smitten with the special gift my Dad got me, just for his one and only baby girl. It made me feel special.

Bird was again very spoiled, with learning toys, musical instruments, gifts to save for the future, stuffed animals, and things to keep her warm to name a few.

One more Christmas to go.

don't forget to enter the giveaway, only 2 hours left!

So excited I almost forgot to share.

Another shop update, just in time for my holiday giveaway, which you still have 10 hours to enter (!)

a story:

So I read this a little over a month ago and thought, this is for me. I quietly crafted my submission email and sent it off in the wee hours of the night, divulging this only to T. I was excited and nervous and didn't know what to make of it all except that I wanted the position.

After a phone interview and some time had passed I finally received word that I got it! I am so excited to be joining the papernstitch team as their intern, to gain an amazing experience and to use my skills to help from right here at home with my little lady by my side! I don't think things could have turned out any better and it feels like another great Christmas present.
