Happy 14 days until Christmas!
If my front door wasn't completely blocked by empty Christmas decor boxes you could come into my house and be greeted by a semi-lovely Christmas vignette.
I had to move the boxes just to take the pictures.
I guess I'm just lazy. The idea of taking these boxes back upstairs, moving my dresser, opening the very tightly sealed attic door, and putting the boxes away, then pushing my dresser back in place - and then 4 weeks from now going back upstairs, moving my dresser, opening the very tightly sealed attic door, pulling out all the boxes, moving the dresser back into place, and bringing all the boxes back downstairs - well its just too much.
And, of course, the basement is bad. Very bad. And if I take them down there I might not be able to get to the laundry.
Then my clothes would be dirty.
Not that most people can tell whether my paint stained clothes are clean or dirty . . .
Anyway, I seem to digress every day.
The tree is up in the entryway.
It's sitting on some of my suitcase collection. I'm collecting them for something very special.
That special thing was supposed to happen last year. But it didn't.
And it probably won't happen this year either.
I think maybe I'll move the boxes into the guest bedroom. That is after I take the pictures in there. I'm not having any company in the next four weeks so it probably won't matter.
At least I will be able to get to the front door.
So what do you do with your Christmas boxes while your decorations are out?
Make something wonderful today!

Whoo Hoo!
Happy 15 days until Christmas!
Do you decorate your bathroom for Christmas?
I have a long lost friend that used to collect liquid soap dispensers. If you were wondering if it was a holiday or a special event you just had to visit her bathrooms to figure it out.
Hello!
Happy 17 days before Christmas!
I'm slowly but surely getting everything Christmasified around here.
I've been trying not to do the same ole same ole around here this year. Just for the heck of it. But that means I don't have last years experience to draw on and I have to keep experimenting.
And the mess! Holy moly it makes a mess to take out the boxes, unload the boxes, move all the stuff you have out that's in the way.
And if your a little crazy like me, well you decide to paint your fireplace, mantle and hearth right in the middle of it all.
It's no secret that I "keep" stuff.
I keep stuff that I think I can make other stuff out of.
I save pine cones. I have a lot of pine cones.
I've made my share of stuff from pine cones but I had never made a wreath before.
I guess I'm a Christmas blogging failure.
Here it is December 3rd and I haven't even had ONE Christmas blog post.
I don't really FEEL like a failure.
In fact if I weren't a blogger I wouldn't even consider that I might be a failure.
Yesterday we learned about Pecan Pie Cheesecake.
Did you make one yet?
If you did, I bet you are really happy today.
If you did not. I bet you are sad. Really sad.
There is always tomorrow.
But first I have to tell you about the "other" Thanksgiving desserts ...
Hello! Thanksgiving is over and everyone is safely home. Hope all was well with your holiday and that you had lots of yummy food and desserts to keep you full.
We had lots of desserts.
