Y-You are all missed and loved.
Z- Zoo, The kids and I took our annual trip to the Toledo zoo this summer.

Putting it all away.

I so much enjoyed having my dream of 5 Christmas trees. although I am going for 6 next year. Shh don't tell Kent. Rissa informed me I didn't have one in my room. So we will try to add that one next year.

That being said we just finished putting all the boxes in the attic. WOW I was trying so hard to combine stuff, get rid of boxes and take risks with some of it. I thought I was doing so good unitl count time came. I think I'm embarrassed to say we still have 19 boxes of Christmas plus trees and some small odds and ends.

Kent was so dedicted to have it all on one space. He made a nice space (I'm to chicken to climb in the attic to see it) Remember I can fall on flat surfaces. So it's all up there with the exception of the trees and they go soon. He took a well deserved break to work some more on my fireplace mantle. It's looking so nice I can't wait to take pictures of it.

We have both been working away on our to do list this year all ready. We may just get it finished this year.

I finished my Jan. scrapbook project last night. I'm excited I need to use glitter glue better but, it looks pretty cool. It's a Be mine banner. I have a few love's left from last year and will offer that again too. I have so many great ideas but, no time to execute them. It was nice to scrapbook but, the dinning room table is still a mess. I'm hoping to make a few more projects tonight. What about my scrapbook room. It still needs to recover from the holidays. It was looking great til Christmas came. Oh well It's on my to do list.

Hope you enjoy my blog change. I love to change things for every holiday, hence the reason I like blogging so much.

Just a quick update I'm hoping to get my computer online soon so I can post more pictuers.

Motivation needed please

Ok I'm not in the mood to complete any of the things I have left to do. I want to do them but, don't!

I have started the last of my vinyl christmas presents (only have to stick them)
I have grocery shopped and made fudge.
I have the kitchen I begged for and have yet to cook in it like I wanted (What's up with me).
I have designed the things I need to scrap book.

I have started loads of laundry. (the don't get put away or folded).

I still have to pack for our trip to Michigan on Thursday night.

If any one out there has any motivation could you please send it my way. Please just for a day or two.


I was ready to cook only to find taht someone somehow had broken my Kitchen TV AGAIN! I'm bummed. I just got it back working. I just want the noise realy but, it makes me sad, upset that things keep getting broken. I don't understand some times I want to live in my own little bubble. I can't stand broken things. I've been like this since I was a child. Mind you I kept many of my toys new in the box because I didn't want them to be used.

I think I must have some type of phobia or something. Oh well Guess I need to get something done.

Merry Christmas
