So before I can start decorating for Christmas, I have a few jobs that never get done any other time of the year. The first thing is that all of my grapevines and greenery comes down, get's washed, degreased, and packed away. This in itself is a time zapper. I hate it. But, if I don't have a reason to do it (Christmas) I never will. So here is the mess on my kitchen table. The kids hate this time. They REALLY want to pull out the garlands and lights and this is just a waste of time. I couldn't agree more.
Next, all of the Turkey art comes down and put away for future scrapbooking endeavors. They were pretty proud of their hand turkeys. Oh, and if you love this board, my good friend, Aimee makes them special order. The only problem with this one is there are not enough hooks on it for the mass amounts of art that get produced in our home.
And finally, we go on a scarecrow and pumpkin hunt. We even managed to round up a turkey or two to dust and put away for next year. This is just a small sampling of what I have to hide away in my so called "linen" closet which has become a shelf and a half of fall and two full shelves of Christmas. Towels and linens are overrated anyways.
So this was today's project. I managed to get a few lights up around the tops of the cupboards and a few garlands hung, all the while Cameron is heckling me and yelling about the importance of the Christmas tree, which our neighbors decided to put up the day after Thanksgiving. I myself will probably wait until this Sunday. That's one less week we have to break ornaments and get yelled at for touching the tree.
Day 21
Day 4
The final project.

Here is a picture of my latest swap, a December flip calendar. I did the 4th and the 21st and in return I have a 6X6 calendar to use to count down the days. I actually got two copies so I'm trying to decide who gets the other calendar.........
