This has been the week for letting go.
That lovely piece of quilted red corduroy fabric by my sewing table? It can wait till next year to become a tree skirt and stockings. The tree skirt I have will work just fine. And our presents can go under the tree.
The Christmas tree ornaments? They can hang where-ever it is that a 6-year-old girl and 4 -year-old boy want them to. A whole clump of Isaac's red favorites? Right at his eye level. All of Maddie's fairies and angels in one spot? Touching each other even? Just lovely. I just decorated the top third of the tree my way and let the rest hang as it may. It's growing on me. :)
Having a very organized home? It's one step forward, two steps back. But eventually we'll be there. Just not in time for Christmas. If the living room and kitchen are under control, we'll be in fine shape.
10 kinds of Christmas cookies? How about 4. That will do just fine.
100 Christmas cards? That I'm not letting go of. I've got 33 or so done. I'll keep plugging away.
My blog? Well, the computer has not even been at my house this week. So, I haven't had a choice. I do have some Christmas goodness to share though. I'm hoping to be able to in the next few days. And I want to peek into your Christmas bits as well. I'll be checking in. :)
My giveaway? I said I'd keep it open until Monday. I guess I didn't say which Monday? Well. How about my kiddos and I draw a name tonight? Sound good? Sounds good to me.
See you tomorrow, friends!
