Christmas Wishes & Year-End Closeout Sale!

Merry Christmas!

The holiday celebrations have begun and festive decorations are lighting up our homes and neighborhoods. The last time you heard from me we were thinking turkeys and pumpkin spice. I hope you’ll understand when I tell you why I’ve been away.

This is a special time of year, especially if you’re able to share it with little ones who still see the magic in this season. However, especially in 2020, this can be a time of year when it’s a challenge to feel merry and jolly. Personally, my Mom and my younger sister both passed away in early December. It’s been 10 years for my Mom and 5 years for my sister. So if you’re struggling with “the most wonderful time of the year”, I see you and understand. I hope that you’re able to find comfort and peace in the reason for the season – Jesus’ birth.

Let me tell you what HAS truly touched my heart and made me happy during these days. My wonderful daughter-in-law – out of the blue – sent me some pictures of my grandchildren stamping and creating the tags for their Christmas presents for family. I have to say my eyes leaked a little. My mother passed her love of crafts to me and to see it in another generation makes me so happy. Also, my granddaughters and I spent a couple of hours together making the Christmas Countdown Advent Kit and had a wonderful time laughing and making memories. (Just a little secret – the Kit will be 50% off beginning Tuesday, December 8, during our End of Year Sale. Grab a couple and save them for next year!)

There’s also lots of excitement – and chaos – in my craft room. Especially with a world that seems so out of control, organizing calms me. My Christmas present was a trip to the Houston IKEA to pick up goodies to re-do my crafting space! Oh my! I’m equally excited and overwhelmed at re-organizing – LOL. Be sure you’re signed up to receive my blog posts because I’ll be posting before/after pictures and some organizing tips that work for me.
