So I thought I'd try a new blog!

Well......Christmas is over and all I can say is WHEWWWW!!! I didn't quite get everything done that I had hoped to do, but it's over and it was wonderful!!!! I am horrible at procrastinating and I took it to a whole new level this year. I thought I was doing pretty good by getting most of the shopping done the day after Thanksgiving (thank goodness for that), but I guess in my mind I thought that meant I had all the time in the world! NOT!!!! I had Christmas for my side (my mom's) of the family this year and I didn't get a final count, but I think there was somewhere around 29 people here. That was a lot of work and I learned next time what works and what didn't, but I would gladly do it all over again. We didn't have to rush around and be anywhere on Christmas day and I am so thankful! Usually we are opening presents (wrapping paper only) and rushing around to get ready to be gone for the rest of the day. My girls usually get no time to play with anything they got until the next day or whenever we can spend a couple hours getting everything out of the packages (REALLY...is 500 PIECES OF TWIST TIES REALLY NECESSARY?) . Anyway, I loved it, loved it, loved it!!!!! I included a few pics of sort of a before and after effect. Well, I have so much more to say, but not enough time right now. Gotta get up too early. By the way, this blog is much easier for me then my other one so far, so I'll probably continue with it unless things change. Happy New Year! I may not talk to you before then!
