A day late and a dollar short

Well, I don't know about the dollar, but I am late for my snippet.  'Tis the season for creativity chez moi, so there has been a lot going on.  I haven't had the camera out for most of it, but I did make a point of photographing the "first ornament" that I made for Junebug.

I liked the look of these, so I drafted my own copy, using, yes, a dromedary* instead of a fawn.  Needed something to remind the wee fellow he spent his first Christmas in Egypt:

* It does look like a dromedary in real life...I think...and less like a Great Dane with a humpback. And it looks more circular, less lumply.  Ah, nothing like a photo to make something look fat and full of flaws. :P

I thought it was a camel. Now I can see a dog with a hump. *sigh*

Where's the little drummer boy and the lamb? ;)

Such a cute dromedary and a baby, who is not less cute himself!

It looks like a dromedrary! I saw it at once.

And what a great pic of the little one with the tree. :)

Anyway, I think it's tremendously cute. And as other people were organized enough to say, the little boy is, too. ;) Your pictures are always good -- at least the ones you share are! :)

It looks exactly like a dromedary! It's gorgeous! And Junebug thinks so too--look at that enthusiasm :-)

Hope y'all had a wonderful Christmas! Ours was rather quiet but nice. Mendy had back surgery on the 16th so she couldn't go see grand kids and Adam only had the off so they couldn't come here. Katie was here til the Monday after then to Fairfield and back here yesterday. She and Chase went back to Lubbock today. Trying to get Skype reconnected so hope to see y'all soon. Love, hugs and kisses from OK.

Kainam was sick and had to go the clinic on Christmas Day, and I got sick that evening and was in bed by 7:30. We are all feeling better now, though. :)

Hope Mendy's recovery from surgery is speedy!
