I know, I know. It’s been a while since my last post! I have been doing things, though, and they’ve filled up all my time.
1. Painting: Why, doesn’t everyone begin repainting their living room four weeks before Christmas? I repainted two walls in the living room, finally painted the window trim bright white, and put a gleaming new snowy coat on my fireplace mantel. It was looking pretty dim and shabby before. I will try to find before and after shots to post.
2. Rearranging Furniture: One of my favorite things! I am always trying to find the next great arrangement, trying to squeeze every last square inch out of my limited space. I really like what I’ve done, and I’ll try to post photos of that, too.
3. Christmas Decorating. Do I really need to explain this one?
4. Scrapbooking: I haven’t made a page since October! So I parked myself in my way-fun craft room last night and completed four layouts. Yay for me!
5. Craft bazaar: in the Bizarre little Town of Penninsula. Really a weird experience. Heidi made bazillions of gourmet cookies. I had Christmas cards and felted wool bags. The show, however, was mostly billed as an Antique event, so the majority of shoppers weren’t interested in our stuff. The bright side is, I don’t have to make my Christmas cards now, because I already have them!
6. Thanksgiving: Was this only last week? We had the fam over for dinner and the food was absolutely out of this world!
so, i have to say, allyson has been quite the homeMAKER these days with her extra efforts in painting, in hostessing, in decorating, in scrapbooking, in cleaning, etc. The list goes on… how can I extol the virtues of one so marvelous in so few words? because of her work, our home has become even more beautiful than it was before. i’m delighted to be married to this extraordinary woman of grace and skill.
