Time Out to Refocus












Sometimes ya just gotta get out

the ole sweeper to clear the mind!

Not to mention all the fake tree

needles and glitter!

The house is just not decorating itself this year....

I keep telling myself it will be finished tomorrow...tomorrow...tommorrow.

May be due to the fact that after 10 years of red, gold, green, and yellow walls...this past spring and summer we did a major painting inside and out.

Now it's all neutral....cocoa, gray, sandy beige, creamy white...I love it but all the red and green Christmas stuff was not looking quite right. So I've dug through through all the boxes and boxes to pull out any silver, white, gold that I had in the past but.........














Saturday I kept finding myself bouncing from room to room, cabinet to cabinet, surface to surface, not finishing anything before bouncing off another wall. Very frustrated!!!

Finally I just had to get out the vaccuum and clear the floor!
When I could see the tile again, I felt so much better ....so did the dog I'm sure!

Now he can sit down without getting glitter all over his rear end!




It's amazing how just sweeping up the mess can get you moving in the right direction!


So I'm back to the boxes....things are moving right along .....I should have it
finished by...........tomorrow!

Focus....Focus.....Focus..................

Check back for the finished product!

Blessings from my heart to yours!

I tried keeping a little notebook beside me to write down bright ideas when I got one so I wouldn't forget later. But then I misplaced the little notebook. Try bringing a pepto bismol tree into the mix when you've always done gold, red and white! Talk about ADD. I have since decided I'll get done what gets done and I bet you will too! Debbie
