Well, I haven't exactly been keeping up with all of FlyLady's holiday cruising missions (designed to help us cruise through the holidays) but I did manage the one for today. The assignment was to decorate one place in your home for Christmas. I had to think about this for awhile. All of my Thanksgiving decor is still in place, and I didn't have time to change everything around today. Then I realized I could do the glass-topped crafting desk in my bedroom. I typically keep seasonal cards and other paper treasures displayed under the glass, and the desk needed decluttering and dusting anyway, so I accomplished two things at once. I changed the fall/Thanksgiving cards for some Christmas/winter ones and decluttered so that now the only items on the desk have to do with Christmas crafts I still need to make.
The cards I just added; this shows one half of the desk top |
And here is the other half. Decorating done here and the decks all cleared for more Christmas crafting! |
It feels good to have this task accomplished and has inspired me to start swapping fall for Christmas downstairs tomorrow!
I've also been getting a lot of Christmas crafting done this weekend, which is a great encouragement. As soon as we put the tree up (hopefully this weekend), I will start gift wrapping.
I had not checked your Christmas blog in quite a while Mrs T. Love all the pretty things you have been working on. Hope that cold is better. I had one about two weeks ago that really laid me low! I blamed it on the grandchildren!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Arlene! I have been working on lots of other things which I can't publish yet because the recipients read my blogs. Will be sure and show photos when the time comes!
ReplyDeleteMy cold is better, thanks. Not gone, but better. And yes, I am also blaming it on the grandchildren!
