    Cleaning led to cards

    Little J and I have been on a cleaning and organizing mission lately. Yesterday, it was in the craftroom. We got both work surfaces completed cleaned and organized.

    I should have taken a picture…darn.

    Anyway, my mom had picked a bunch of my blank greeting cards and asked if I’d make them into birthday cards for her with stamps, labels etc.
    She likes them ready made…no need to write to much these days.  Just teasing…

    After completing those,  I was inspired to keep going. 20130217_1426 20130217_1427 20130217_1428 20130217_1429

    Of course, those pesky chores like meal prep and laundry made me stop for a while.

    Little J isn’t going to be too happy with me when she gets back from the neighbors. I’ve succeeded in making a mess of the work surfaces again.

    Maybe I can knock out a few more cards then get it all cleaned up before she gets home….or not. 🙂

    We had a wonderful Christmas!
    Family over for both Christmas Eve and Day.
    Laughed lots, ate too much, made a mess opening gifts, played games and visited until my throat was scratchy.
    I had to  show you one of the centerpieces from our table. I saw this on Pinterest and loved it. So bright and early Christmas morning I stepped outside to trim some greens from the bushes. I’m sure any neighbors that spotted me though I was nuts. It was 0°F at the time.
    Greens in a mason jar…add water and fresh cranberries which are ever so kind to float.
    Drop in a floating candle. Ta-da…
    Simple and festive.
