My Next Thirty Years

Good Intentions....

They say the road to hell is paved with good intentions.... I had good intentions to take part in Shimelles Annual Journal YOur Christmas but guess what December is kicking my butt but it is a good thing. In 13 days I will be in my happy place with the bestest friends in the world with my marvelous family.

I am busy on finishing up the Christmas shopping, wrapping and sewing for our trip. I don't have much left to do sewing wise just Cs fabulous Christmas Skirt, a pair of shorts and some shirts. I am trying to get everything done before Sunday. I desperately want to enjoy the week leading up to our fabulous Disney Trip.

Today I am finishing a pair of shorts. Life will also get a bit easier after today because this is the last day of sales in the House of Paper store. After 7 years I am closing the online scrapbook store. I thought it was going to be a hard decision but it really isn't. I am good with it. I will have more time and energy to actually concentrate on creating whether it is art with paper or fabric or some other medium.

I am looking forward to the changes that are coming. Here is a picture of a skirt I made for C.

I have been lucky to have met so many artists and friends thru HOP so I am sad to see it closing in that aspect but know that I will always be in touch with those that have touched my heart with friendship.

Anyway enough mushiness I have to get moving on some projects. Since I only have 12 days until my happy Place. I love Disney at Christmas.

I love December

I really really do love December. I love the craziness and fun and the happy feeling I get. I don't love that I make myself nuts with projects. In 15 days we are going to our happy place. The good thing about this is it limits the Christmas shopping I have to do for us because our present is the trip and buying presents there.

Right now I am in the midst of preparations, making gifts and lists. My goal is to be finished everything the weekend of the 17th so I can enjoy the few days leading up to the holiday but we shall see it depends on how productive I am tonight.

Hoping to post some fun things here over the weekend.

Long time no post.

Life has again gotten into the way of my posting and I do miss it.

It is December and we have gone thru the start of school, all of our birthdays and are now moving on to Christmas and vacation. I am again doing my annual tradition of Journal Your Christmas. I was going to take the year off but I really love doing it and concentrating on what is important to me at this time of year.

So check back because I am going to be posting my entries here.
