November recap...

...'cuz I've got nothing else. My living room is still in chaos; the finishing coat on the grids and baseboards wasn't dry enough to move furniture back yesterday. Which means that I haven't been able to start decorating for Christmas... On the plus side, the windows look great, the walls are painted and I'm rearranging my craft room.

Anyway, here is the recap.
