Messy Desk

Does this make you feel better or worse? I truly do make a mess when I work. I love messes. I love to make them…and I love to tidy (a.k.a. organize) them when I’m done. I’m not sure which of these two facts is scarier…

Wrapping Gifts

Yippee! I love wrapping gifts. This years strategy: a limited supply of gift wrap, which I stow in a five gallon paint bucket and pull out of the closet for wrap sessions. Perhaps not terribly elegant (especially with that random piece of red fuzz down there at the bottom) but it’s cheap, portable, puts vertical space to great use, and it’s time tested. I’ve had this bucket for years…and it really does work well for me.

Add to the limited supply of gift wrap, a holiday CD, some plain white tags, plain white tissue paper, letter stickers, chipboard and rub-ons from American Crafts, some green curling ribbon, and buckets (felt and metal from Target) a voila! the gift wrapping has begun.

Christmas tag

Do you have any fun ideas for gift wrap this year? I’d love to hear (and see!) what you’re doing…

The Tree

It felt more like Easter today than Christmas…so the tree will have to wait for another week. It has to be cold…the colder the better when we get our tree. We’re keeping our fingers crossed for cold weather next weekend.

But…all in all, it is feeling more and more like Christmas around here. Love that.

I hope you had a great weekend, too. So much more to share…but it will have to wait. My pillow is calling.

Good night 😉
