Where Did the Day Go?
Good evening! My sweetie just came in and asked me if I knew what time it was, and when he told me it was past 10 my bottom jaw almost hit the ground! IT JUST COULDN’T BE!?!?!? But, apparently it is!! I got home late …

A New Evening!!
Good evening! For most of the day today, I have been frantic whirlwind of cleaning, organizing and purging!! My art studio/office is starting to look better, but it seems that as soon as I clean up one pile, two more show themselves!! Those sneaky little …
Slowly But Surely!
Good evening!
I know that these pics may not look like I am making much headway in my art studio/office clean, up but I feel like I am doing A LOT!!!
My sweetie helped me locate, and assembled this perfect little bookshelf to put on top of my craft dresser, My new motto is storage, storage, storage!! I have spent a good portion of my day sorting supplies and putting all like items together. Tomorrow will be more about getting things out of there for donating to charity, recycling old magazines, and papers, putting everything into their new homes, and decorating like a banshee!! That is my FAVORITE part!!! 😉
I am loving the green on the walls, I had dabbled with the idea of changing it, but to be honest with you – it is just too much work!! So, I am sticking with my gut and just working with it! I am adding baby pink, silver, and baby blue into the mix!! Also adding the cubicle bookcase on top of the dresser and some lovely white curtains, is making this place feel so much nicer – even though there is still sooooooo much left to do!!! I think the room is taking on a much softer girlier-glam feel! I know that is hard to believe when looking at these pics, but it really took me 5 years to get it into the state that it was in, so it is going to take me a little while to get it back to ship-shape!! 😉
I must confess, that I was so overwhelmed when I went in there to start this morning, that I decided to go shopping instead! Nice, right??? I bought some replacement essentials like bed pillows, and towels, which we were in desperate need of new ones!! Then when I got home, Jason helped me first thing, and I was still sooooo overwhelmed!! WHERE THE HECK DO I START??? Well, when I had taken Linda and GG’s craft class, they started with a meditation, so I thought I would give that a try! It TOTALLY worked!! I realized I had to stop feeling guilty and forgive myself for letting the room get to be such a disaster. I then made the decision to open my eyes, find one thing to toss, and one thing to put away. That seemed easy enough to commit to, so I did it, and then did again, and before I knew it I was on a roll!!
Anyway, I have a lot of work ahead of me for tomorrow, but I am excited to see what I can get done!!
TO-WANDA!!!!
(a la Fired Green Tomatoes, for those who are not in the know!)
Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉
A Rather Productive Day!
Good evening! I realize that I have been doing a lot of late night posts, but I am pushing the envelope to get AS MUCH done as possible!! 😉 Today, my goal was to start uncluttering my nightstand, bedroom, writing desk, walk-in closet and dresser …
Art Studio Reality Check!
Good evening!! Wow! Where do I start??? I have a lot going on, right now, but I wanted to share about an EMBARRASSING secret that I have been living with, that is becoming a bigger and bigger obstacle on my path to to my creative …
A Taxing Kind of Morning!
Good morning!
Having meditated before bed last night, which in turn caused me to fall asleep faster, I woke up early this morning raring to go!! I’ve decided that I needed to gather my tax papers so that I can file my taxes! I was sure I had a fail-safe plan when I chose a location to “stash” all of the random incoming papers, so as not to lose them, but unfortunately there must have been some kind of a hiccup in my plan, because I am missing two very important papers! Dang! It is going to cause me to have to serious spend some time this evening looking for them!! Oh well, that will teach me!
As I continue to think about where I could have placed those tax papers, I look around and see a couple of stacks of things that just need to be donated, or even tossed in this room! I am sitting in our spare room, which has kinda become a craft room/office/mini library. As you may already know, I go through phases of cleaning/purging/using this room, and other times this room stays completely closed up and unused all together! Sad, really! and what a waste of square footage!! My office is talking about having us telecommute on a more permanent basis, since desk space is becoming a rarity at work right now, which means that this would be the room that I would have to work out of. In it’s current state, I am not sure that would be possible! Not to mention, this chair is not meant to be sat on for long periods of time!!! I think what I am trying to say, is that I have got to keep making this room more of a priority to get FINISHED!!! This room could be such a SWEET spot!! I will get on that!! 😉
As for work today??? Well, I am going to have to be a little more focused in my tasks otherwise I will have a repeat of yesterday, where I had gotten a lot of work done, but they may not have been the BEST use of my time! I have some big assignments that a lot of people are waiting for! I am hoping to knock one of those out of the ballpark today and into the hands of one of my customers!!! That would make for a GREAT day!! 😉
I am going to run and set myself up for a LEVEL 10 day!!! as for you…
Have a FABULOUS day!! 😉
Putting My House on a Diet!
Good evening!! Before I start my rant this evening, I wanted to give a shout out to my sister, Alexa, in Arizona! I am just SO PROUD OF HER!! She bit the bullet, and has started a blog! I look forward to reading about her …
The Perfect Sunday!
Good evening! I have quite a lovely Sunday, matter-of-fact it has been a dang-near-perfect Sunday! I got to sleep in, then immediately continued reading this REALLY good book, “The Discovery of Witches”, until I finished it. WHOO! HOO!! “The Discovery of Witches” is about a …
The Sunday of Goodness!
Today has been such a GOOD day!!!
To start, my husband and I spent a good portion of the day putting all of our Christmas decorations away – yes, I know, it is January 30th, but last year Christmas was up in our house until sometime in March! Sad, really, but we were just soooo busy, and we never made it a priority!! Well, not this year!!! AND, did you hear me say that MY HUSBAND and I put the decorations away????? Well, this is the FIRST TIME IN 16 YEARS that HE HELPED!!! Thank you, sweetie!!! THAT WAS SOOOOO MUCH FASTER THAN DOING IT BY MYSELF!!! 😉
I was so impressed with our work that I took a pic as proof from here and evermore that, once during 2011, OUR LIVING ROOM WAS CLEAN!!! WHOOOOOO!!!!! 😉
Have a FABULOUS evening!! 😉
My One Scary Thing!
What a big order to live up to. I picked up this little sign at the gift shop at work today; I had seen it before, but today it really made me think!! I realized that I really don’t do ANYTHING scary most days, and …
