I can’t believe the beautiful Christmas decor I have seen since visiting these sites. It is amazing and this one is gorgeous. Unfortunately…it made me feel like I live in a closet ~smile~ but I love my closet.
I find such inspiration and joy just looking at the different beautiful rooms and decorations. It’s an amazing and sweet addition to Christmas fun. Merry Christmas!

With th 6 kids, hubby working and going to school full time, I feel like this holiday season has been so much more work. I'm completely frazzled (as is evident by my lame"ish" posting of late) and not quite in my usual Christmas spirit. I determined this year to keep it simple. So, I gifted to the neighbors on my street- a small token- and nixed the rest. I came to the peaceful understanding that no one "expected" me to deliver gifts but myself. Anyone who has been close knows why I've simplified this year and is forgiving... anyone who doesn't know what's been going on this year certainly aren't the ones waiting by the door for my delivery. Great reminders today. I will take time to make cinnamon rolls with my kids and a gingerbread house. We'll still manage to get all 8 of us out of the house for a night of caroling. Those are memory makers and worth taking the time to do. Take care of yourself and enjoy the browsing of blogland. I've loved the sneek peeks into the life of other women. Aren't we all fabulous! Love and warm Christmas wishes dear friend, Pretty Organizer Pretty Organizers inspiring blog post..Spashes of Christmas around my house
