New Year 2015!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Hey y'all how was your Christmas?
Ours was nice it felt a little more like normal this year.
I worked a ton, so for me it was rushed and I never did feel the Christmas spirit or the magic of the season that I crave. Oh well maybe this year...

I did a couple of one on one swaps for  Christmas.
First up is my swap with Marci this was her first swap and I am so glad she decided to swap with me!
I hope it is the first of many for her.
Here is what miss MJ sent me, she made me feel so cared about! Love ya Marci!
I love the ornaments, I use the C7 bulbs on my tree inside and the C9 bulbs outside,
it is just not  Christmas without them, so the big bulb is perfect,
the sleigh speaks to my love of things of old,
the mug is my new favorite! Huge and just perfect for hot chocolate!
And of course a little something sweet :)

I also swapped with Trisha, Love her she gets me and we love many of the same things!
Love her style and how she adds sparkle to my tree!

So Sweet! It really looks like a decorated cookie in person.
Um... I would show you the treats she sent, but we kinda devoured them,
 Lee and I indulged ourselves, (make that gorged) on maple fudge, nut clusters, peppermint bark and peanut butter balls.
They were so good!

Now for the bad part...lol 
This is the aftermath of Christmas crafting, wrapping, storing etc... in my craft room!
OYE! You should see the table! Completely covered.
LOL I just shut the door and ignored it for the past week.
Yikes, I don't even know where to start in there! LOL
So if you need me, other than working that is where I will be :)

Now who is ready for a Valentine swap?

    What beautiful treats you got from your swaps! Your room looks like "Creative Chaos" which is a very good thing! Sometimes cleaning it up is more fun than messing it up!!
    Happy New Year!

Woolzies!

Hey Y'all! Sorry to have been away so long again. I won't go into details, but it has been a bit of an adventure here. I think  things are settling down (fingers crossed) So how are ya? I have another give away for ya! A few weeks ago I was given the opportunity to try and review a box of Woolzies Dryer Balls. Here is a bit about Woolzies from their website Photo from their Facebook page  Woolzies are pure handmade New Zealand wool dryer balls that soften your laundry naturally without any of the chemicals of conventional fabric softeners. Unlike the plastic dryer balls, they are PVC free and won't fall apart or melt on you. Woolzies save time and energy by cutting down on drying time by an average of 25% per load. They also help reduce static and wrinkles. Use Woolzies to snuggle up with naturally downy soft laundry that's completely free of harmful chemicals.  Woolzies are also hypo-allergenic and totally safe for people with wool sensitivities as...

Ho Ho Ho **Gift for you

Merry Christmas Y'all. Yes I say Merry Christmas! I keep Christ in  Christmas because it matters to me. I was at a craft show recently and at one of the booth's I wished the vendor a Merry Christmas, he said Thank You and then said "I don't say anything anymore, you never know what people believe and I don't want to offend anyone" OK I get that, he is a businessman....however;  I replied...."I say Merry Christmas because it is what I believe" he said huh... I have never thought of it that way before... I work for the "worlds largest retailer" and I say Merry Christmas all season long, In all of the 23 years I have worked in retail, no one has ever said "don't say that to me" actually most people are kind of surprised to hear it if I judge by the look on their faces and most reply Merry Christmas to you too. So try it on for size, the next time you are out, wish the people in your path a Merry Christmas, I bet it will make...
