December Sneeking In My Back Door

How did it happen?

Where did this past year go?

This afternoon quietly and wonderfully I heard December knocking on my back door.

I have just one wish for this holiday season...that wish is to be fully present in every tinsel covered minute of it...to appreciate the authentic and loving reason for this time of year...to marinate in it like a child.

I guess that is three wishes...but what I really want is to get back to the true spirit of Christmas and fill my family and friends with the feeling that filled my holiday spirit cup to overflowing when I was a child.

Cha, cha, cha and jingle, jingle all the way.

I am as busy as Santa's elves preparing for a holiday bazaar that happens this weekend...my craft nook is filled with burlap and drop cloths and paint and glue and acorns and glitter and thread and bits of paper and lots and lots of creative mojo....I am in my happy place.

I also finally did some work on my second Etsy shop..."Extra Buttons"...it will be filled {any day now} with long collected goodies...vintage and otherwise that's time has come to move along to a new home...you really only need so many do~dads in your home and the rest are "Extra".  It is time to share.  And let me tell you...I have some fun items that I will do just that with.

And now back to creative~ville...I will share my folly this week....but for today...my happy place is calling.
