Progress has been made!

I went into the office/den/guest room/craft central on Saturday afternoon and spent a couple of hours sorting and filing papers so I felt like my life was in order then I got started on my crafting later (actually LATE) that night. I got some more done Sunday afternoon and last night. I am happy with my progress and did enjoy it. I think to myself that I look forward to later when my kids are more self sufficient and I might have more time to work on things, but then I look at my mom was also has a thousand projects she would like to do and still doesn't feel like she has time.
I guess no matter how many kids, how much you work, and how old or young you are, you only have what time you make for what you feel is important. Time is kind of like money in that way. My (very wise) grandfather told Rob once long ago that no matter how much money you make, your bank balance will always be the same. Over the years (with a few ups and downs along the way), we have found that to be true.
I seem to digress because this posting began with talking about my crafts, but oh well . . . I believe I did promise some pictures, so I will have to take some and get those posted. Perhaps, I should wait until after Christmas, however, so no one sees their gift here first!
Ten days till Christmas, Folks! Hope you are all happy, relaxed, and enjoy the love and miracles of the season!

It's hard NOT to post crafting pictures! I too have a photo I want to post, but it will have to wait.

Don't you wish you had that Santa-gene? You know the one that could make a day as long as you needed to get done all you'd like to get done?

I actually had a recent weekend morning where I was up and save the cats, all else was a sleep, AND I have a crafting area! I was able to work on some things, leave them out without them being in the way and play!

PS Your mom has always been incredible in all she has been able to accomplish! Having the "nancy-gene" is almost as good as having the "santa-gene."
