Why am I so scattered lately? I finished my Christmas shopping before Halloween, yet I am still rushing to get so many things done. I feel like I'm getting next to no time with my camera or my torch. How did I get everything done when I worked full time? We got our Christmas tree up last week and decorations inside the house set out. It's looking like the outside of our home may not get decorated this year. Thankfully we have a gorgeous home across the street to gaze upon from our dining room and bedroom windows. :)
This post really makes me smile. I love hearing/seeing when goals are reached and dreams become reality.
Love LOVE LOVE this post and encouraging people to grow from failures. But then, I just love encouraging people. I think we are all capable of more than we know and having our own cheerleader helps us get closer to our goals.
This has been my week for catch up on so many fronts. Laundry. Cleaning out cabinets. Family blog posts and photo/file organization. Photography orders. Family calendars designed & ordered (the one year I didn't do it, I was threatened within an inch of my life by multiple grandparents. note-to-self, do NOT make the grandparents angry by failing to deliver calendars. ever again.). My mind is clearing as many things are crossed off my mental To Do list.
The kids will be out of school for the next two weeks and I can't wait to spend every minute with them! We will be taking a little roadtrip with friends to a nearby canyon in Northwest Georgia. Baking cookies. Christmas crafts. Playing outside (bless the South and temps in the 50s and 60s and sometimes the 70s in the month of December!) on bikes, rollerblades, scooters and tossing around footballs, baseballs and hitting a tennis ball back and forth. Family is flying and driving in. Another roadtrip up the coast to visit my best friend in North Carolina may work out (fingers crossed). We will be painting a couple of chairs and making cushions for them so the kids have their own special desk chairs. These next few weeks are going to fly by. I just know it.
Those beads above will all be going into the shop at 2pm EST this afternoon.

Love those discs!
Isn't it funny how the more time you have, the more there is to do? I guess when you're working all the time there are just things that get put off indefinitely. Then when you have more time to yourself you finally get to do them!
It sounds like you will have a very fun holiday with family! Grab every second!
LOVED reading the blog links! Thanks for sharing those!
I was downsized 17 years ago when I was pregnant with Natalie. I was lucky enough to be able to stay home, one of the benefits of having my first and only baby in my late thirties. Even though I was ready to leave pharmaceutical sales I did not realize how much I needed structure and positive feedback until it was not there anymore.
I have had to learn to give myself my own positive feedback and not wait for the annual review. I still struggle with creating structure, when left to my own devices I am a procrastinator. Also staying home with a small child meant constant interruptions, and even with a teenager today there is the never ending picking up and dropping off.
Opening my etsy store has done wonders to create a routine in my life, there are deadlines that must be met and customers to keep happy. I am counting on my mini business to keep me busy in the not to distant future when Natalie is in college, I will need all your shoulders to lean on then.
love them!!! Great! Have a nice time! Hugs, Doris
