Howdy, friends and Merry Christmas (a few days early, I know!). It’s been pretty quiet around here this past month, which is a welcome change of pace for me. And though I wish I could tell you I’ve been spending my days eating bonbons with a warm cat in my lap, that hasn’t been (entirely!) the case. ;)
Say hello to our Christmas tree—our first since we started dating 5 years ago. It came with a wild animal AND a cricket in it, Christmas Vacation style (not joking). Thankfully it didn’t attack anyone’s face, but the whole thing spent a night in the backyard until the intermittent squeaking ceased. Also we had no ornaments, so I made them all: Clear glass balls filled with shredded paper, tiny silver bells, sparkling gold ribbon, white feathers, puffballs, glitter. That chair is under (next to?) the tree because Glen and I finally bit the bullet and bought six of them for our dining room. A gift to ourselves, if you will. :)
December has seen me working on a lot of personal projects that have spent far too much time on the back burner. In some cases, over a year! Little by little, parts of our home are becoming presentable. Plus I’ve been working very hard to finally get my life (read: paperwork) organized—a task which is embarrassing in its monumentality and does not necessarily warrant its own blog post. Unless you’re into that sort of thing, I guess. Although, a before and after of my office would be pretty satisfying, considering the pathetic state in which it started. I would make Martha Stewart alternately cry and beam with pride. ;)
My studio (by which, you understand, I mean my disaster of a home office) will be closed from today until January 2nd, during which time I plan on turning off all of my electronic devices and relaxing in the welcoming arms of my family.
But honestly, I have no purpose for anything I’m typing, except to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! May your last days of 2012 be marvelous. Relish in your loved ones and leisure time; reflect on all the luck, joy and beauty that came to you this year and all that awaits you in the next; rejoice in the glory of your happinesses and the lessons of your sorrows.
And don’t forget the bonbons. ;)
Until next year!
