Fa-la-la-la-la Friday

Even though it is December and Christmas is fast approaching I am still waiting to get into the spirit of things. I've bought a few presents, the kids are done but still plenty of shopping to do with no idea of what I am getting anyone.  I used to be one of those people who had their tree up the day after Thanksgiving.  Of course that was before I went back to work full-time and my kids were involved in everything under the sun. I wish this time of year didn't feel so rushed.  I used to dream of having multiple Christmas tress up in my house each with a different theme.  I actually pulled it off a couple of years.  Now I dread the stack of boxes that greet me when it comes time to decorate.  So on that note, I guess I better get into the spirit before Christmas passes me by.  The kids and I will have to get busy decorating this weekend.  Maybe just maybe one of these years it will go back to how it used to be.  Hopefully it just happens before I am a grandma LOL.  Happy Holidays

How do you do it?

How do you bloggers find the time or remember to post something?  I feel like I always have a million things running around in my brain and no time to write them down.  Well at least the stuff I think is worth writing down.  I've been thinking maybe I should just open blogger every morning and leave it open.  Maybe I will be inspired or find the time to post.   Believe it or not, I put off many things in my life because I would rather be reading.  Nerd Alert I know.  With that being said, it's time for a coffee refill.  Nothing more coherent will come out of my brain until I am fully caffeinated.

Getting crafty

I have been trying to make an effort to sit in my scrap room and scrap. I miss it more than I realized. Going back to work and life in general has taken over. The last few nights sitting in my office and playing with paper reminded me how much I love to scrap and create. These are my baby steps to get back to the world of crafting and scrapping that I love. It let's me use my creative side and it helps me relax, my escape. Here are the last two LO's that I have completed.
