Two days after Christmas and I'm tired! I love this season of lights and goodwill, but this year I just did too much and slept too little. Christmastime brings a new problem to someone trying to clear a house out. My mother is always much too generous and sends a lot of gifts. This year, I decided that for everything that comes into the house, something has to go - I'm merciless! I got a cute new mid-weight lilac color hoodie. It's lined with the softest polyester this side of chinchilla fur. I have a jacket about the same length and weight with a broken zipper that I can easily exchange for the girlie new one. We also got new sheets for our bed and I think I have an old set that the elastic is wearing out on.


I did some swamping out of a cupboard in my entry hall last week while I was putting up my little Christmas village (that's where I store the tiny buildings). It was mainly old mail and catalogs (aahhh more catalogs). I am realizing how much work I may be in for and just how long this whole project could actually take. It's daunting, but I have such a feeling of accomplishment that it makes it worth-while..
