I love to wrap presents!

It is only 2 days until Christmas. Count them. 1-2! I hadn’t even started wrapping presents. So, tonight was the night. I turned on a Christmas movie and wrapped and wrapped all of my presents. I love wrapping presents. I am not sure why it is such a stress reliever but it is. I love to pick out the wrapping paper and ribbon. I love to tie beautiful bows and make darling name tags…I just love it. I love giving gifts and I love wrapping presents!! I LOVE IT!!

After all of the presents are wrapped, I love to sit and stare at them. I know, I am a tad bit crazy. It just brings sunshine to my heart. I love it!!

Happy Wrapping Presents Day!!

The Christmas Village

One of my most favorite places to go during Christmas time is my parents’ home. My mom has decorated each room in her home (including the bathroom and the laundry room). It is an incredible place to be. She spends many hours decorating her home. It is beautiful and exquisite.

She leaves one area of the house for me to decorate. It is just a small corner but I feel privileged at having the opportunity to decorate this corner. It is the corner where her Christmas village is displayed. She has hand-painted every house, church, school, market, and building in this little village. I love it. It is so fun to take each piece from their designated storage box and create a little miniature village.

I added lights, snow, people, trees…

I love how it all comes together. It is incredible.

 

Aw…I love Christmas time.

P.S. I am SO GRATEFUL for my brother.  He climbed on the peaks of my house to put up my Christmas lights.  Heights…one of my biggest fears.  He told me to face my fears…maybe next year…or not.  

Christmas Cheer

I needed to add some Christmas cheer where I spend a great amount of time…work. 

 

This adorable tree sits on my desk.  I get to enjoy it everyday.  Oh, I love Christmas time!

 

I really like my choice of colors for this tree.  Brown, cream and olive green.  It kind of matches my desk.

I forgot to bring the little hooks to attach the ornaments.  So…Vieve came up with a plan…we used paperclips.  They worked perfectly.  Oh, I love Christmas time!!

Merry Christmas!!

Christmas Spirit

I can't believe that it is already December 1st. I love this time of year. As we are shopping, baking, gathering and delivering our gifts this Christmas season, may we remember the true mean of Christmas. This is truly an amazing time of the year.

Christmas planning…

A few days ago, I was struggling with the whole concept of sleep.  I was so tired but for one reason or another, I could not drift off to dreamland.  So, I decided to turn on my computer and browse.  I came upon this cute little item. I wanted to one.  I  didn’t need one but I REALLY wanted one. So….

I created one for myself.  I loved how it turned out.  I am so excited to use it.  There is a pocket in the front and the back for receipts and coupons.  A cute monthly and weekly calendar is placed perfectly inside along with a Christmas list, card, recipe and notes pages.  It was so fun to create!  I am sure that it will keep me completely (or somewhat) organized during this busy Christmas season.

How do you keep yourself organized during this busy holiday season?

P.S. I am grateful for laughter and plenty of smiles today!
