I started this blog post to tell you about a few more ways I store embellishments near my craft desk. I got a little off track talking about the room itself and how it’s set up. Bear with me and I’ll get to the point eventually… You may want to read the top of my […]
Yesterday, I gave you a tour of my craft desk. Just the top because the post got so long. Today you get to see inside the drawers. This was a good exercise for me because I had to clean them out and straighten them a bit before I could take any pictures. Believe me, they […]
In yesterday’s post, I mentioned how I use plastic drawer stacks to store some of the floral embellishments I use on the Christmas shadow boxes. Today I thought I would write the first of a couple of posts to show you how I’m storing all the embellishments I’m currently using. First of all, I’m not […]
I seem to lag a bit when Christmas is over. All that work and excitement, though fun, is tiring. Ever more so as I get older. During January and February I tend to take things easy. I am looking forward to having Older Son and his wife stay over for a few days later this […]
Another wonderful evening with Nathan George, Mark Stoffel, and Henry Haffner. We had about 60 guests. Thank you to all for attending!

We have a house concert scheduled for this coming Thursday evening. Here’s a video taped at a previous concert in our living room. This year will be the ninth year we have hosted this concert with Nathan Clark George and his friends. This year Mark Stoffel and Henry Haffner will join Nathan. This is always […]
I promised more Christmas pictures, so am going to show you some from the kitchen today. We didn’t put a tree on top the fridge this time. It always seemed a tad too big for the space and we were cutting out a few things to save on decorating. Not that you could tell! So […]
The day after the open house, we divide the cookies and distribute the leftovers. I put one box of cookies in the freezer for my side of the family’s Christmas party, one in the freezer for our church’s Christmas party, and one box of truffles in the freezer for the concert we host in our […]
