It’s that time of Year!!

It is finally here…my favorite time of the year!! Though it gets here faster and faster each year, once it arrives it seems like a blink of an eye and it is gone!! We hardly even get to enjoy it with our busy schedules and obligations. But for me, this year, I am vowing for it to be different. I intend to reflect on the wonderful past year, my present successes and my exciting plans for the future. I plan to share these things with the people that are most important to me. I am making a promise to myself to take the time this holiday season to enjoy life, count my many blessings and cherish the people who helped make them!

I am going to take some days off just to go shopping with my mom, have lunch with friends and make beautiful cookies and treats with my daughter. I want to make time to teach her the pleasure of sharing these gifts and goodies with others and the care and love that goes into a beautifully wrapped package. These are the things that we always say that we are going to do but just never make the time! In fact, I am going to call and schedule some of these fun events this very afternoon, just so I don’t put it off until, once again, the season has passed me and my good intentions by.

And as far as my blogging goes this month, I intend to have this same focus on past, present, and future. I will be reflecting on some of the beautiful projects that we completed this year, I will follow the present progress on our new facility by starting a monthly photo diary of the project, and I will bring to you design ideas and organizing tips that will take you into a successful future for 2009 and beyond.

And to start it all off, here is a little reminiscing about the past. Take a look at these former holiday decorating projects from my previous home. Hopefully they will bring to your mind a few Christmas pasts, help you embrace the present holiday season and inspire you to enjoy life to its fullest in the future!! Merry Christmas!!
