I once put off taking Christmas down until April, which got a little embarrassing for the neighbors. We all love the trees and the decorations so much but we are sooooo happy and sad to see them safely put away for another year. We have 18 bins that we get out every year, plus maybe a dozen boxes of stuff that we haven't gotten out since our marriage three years ago. There's only one solution - a bigger house! With a lot more flat surfaces....Johnhttp://deniablydomestic.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634971010185114820.post-80985730027335729762010-01-06T00:31:34.052-07:002010-01-06T00:31:34.052-07:00Good luck with all your organizing!

I am so flattered you thought that I made those hearts for Elizabeth and I had to go back and re-read her blog post....she used some vintage buttons I sent her on the hearts. Those hearts and birds are totally Elizabeth-isn't she amazing? I'm so glad you visit-it's always nice to chat!<br />Take care Sandy and keep warm!

It took me three days to take down Christmas, much to MDH's chagrin.He wanted me to just throw it in the totes, but I had to go through and make sure that every ornament had it's hanger attached securely, etc, etc. He'll thank me for it next year when we can get it all up quicker!!Lori Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00504606487425029740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634971010185114820.post-80523542572165585162010-01-02T20:57:50.452-07:002010-01-02T20:57:50.452-07:00Well, this is exactly what I should have done, but...Well, this is exactly what I should have done, but I threw it all in boxes again, could not wait to get it out of the house and in the garage....I need to get organized too, it is on my list of must do's this year!!Coloradoladyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16312809532968928183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634971010185114820.post-26634649105623869812010-01-02T20:06:35.346-07:002010-01-02T20:06:35.346-07:00I wish I had bought shares in the Rubbermaid compa...I wish I had bought shares in the Rubbermaid company years ago.

I have had such fun catching up on your posts. I think we do have kindred crafting hearts! You made Jell-o candy canes - too cute! Your craft room clock would look so adorable in MY craft room! I loved looking at all of your Christmas decorations. So much to see, I must go back for another look!
