I'm joining Kelly in this book challenge. It is read your own books between January - December 2009. Most of the books are from Ruth, but I have quite a few around the house that I have not picked up. I'm going to try for 20 books. It's more modest then Kelly's 50.
Check it out if you want to sign up. 
I got this great swap package from my SP13 partner. Daren was very excited about the candies and had already broke into the soda gummies (his favorite) before I could take the picture. How cute are my new gingerbread men salt and pepper shakers.
Speaking of salt and pepper shakers, I got these from Peter and Theresa. They got them for me in Amsterdam. The little windmills spin.
Daren and I took snowboarding lessons on Friday. He's been skiing before and I have never really done any snow related activities. Everyone who told me that it would be easy because I've surfed are big, fat liars. My ass is very bruised. I had a great time though. We're taking Lesson #2 on Saturday.
Ruth lent me her snow boarding gear and I made the hat in the picture to wear during our lesson. It's a 2x2 rib I made on Thanksgiving. I ended up letting Ruth have the hat because it fits her head and matches her coat.
