Today I’m going to spend the day in my loft, which is where I craft. I have a swap card to make, valentine cards to make and a few birthday cards too…..I’m going to be a busy bee. My husband is down in the shop getting the wood stove going. My loft is in our pole building/shop/garage. I really enjoy going in there, but it’s difficult cause it’s cold. Hubby goes back to work in a week or so, then I won’t have any fires hardly until a weekend. I have too hard of a time trying to get the fire going. Sometimes I can KEEP it going if it’s already been going for awhile…….gonna go get myself together and head on down there. Have a GREAT day!

I have a few things I do all the time and then things I do every once in awhile. I love scrapbooking. I have made quite a few books. Usually photos from trips, or photos when family comes to see us…..and special occasions……for example, I did my husband any my 10th wedding anniversary, a 30 year class reunion, and others. I also make greeting cards. I use a scrapbooking machine for most of it. I belong to a card swapping group and that keeps me busy making cards, plus I make all friends and family birthday cards and other special occasion cards. Then, I also paint, do mixed media, mosaic, and diamond paintings……I also make all my Christmas cards, around 50 of them.

One can hope to be accepted and held in high esteem by peers, family, and friends. One can hope that one can be oneself without fakery, lying or omissions….one can hope……..

My husband has surgery tomorrow. He has a tumor up in his sinus cavities….its large but benign, thank goodness. I’m sorry I’ve been neglectful of my blog. Life just happens. I haven’t been in the greatest of moods, but I’m trying. I will be home taking care of him for 1-2 weeks…..

Wishing you all a year full of blessings, fun, love. I hope you all had a great Christmas! We had 2 celebrations. One with one friend on Christmas and then with our two married friends on a different day. What made me happy this year, is the company mostly. The food was decent and I enjoyed some NFL.

I am going to research and find a homeopathic doctor.

Been busy cleaning house, wrapping presents, and finalizing the menu for both Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. I got all my Christmas cards mailed two days ago. I also mailed off several packages. The tree looks great! I bought those pine smelling sticks that you hang on your fake tree…they smell great. On Christmas Eve, I’m wearing pink and white. I have a pink and white Santa hat too. Christmas Day, I’m going old school with red, green and gold.
Wishing you all a happy holiday season!

My craft room is done except wall and ceiling hangings……the loft (my craftroom) is in the shop. It’s cold in there until Don gets a fire going…..I have been taught over and over to light a fire and keep it going. I cannot seem to do either one….lol. So, I have to wait until he gets up. I’m a very early riser and, sometimes, it’s hard to wait for 5 or 6 hours until he gets up. I was up at 2:30 this morning…..have a fabulous day!
