1. I admit it, I have HUGE Christmas tree issues.  I love Christmas.  And once i have my tree up, decorated and the house smelling like fresh pine, i just never want to take it down…
I’m embarassed to admit how long i’ve actually kept my trees up over the past several years - let’s just say they’re usually extra crispy by [...]

Three beautiful things…

I’ve had a pretty dreadful past few weeks.  I won’t go into the details but there have been a series of recent events that have really just kicked me in the guts and sucked out all my creative energy.

Another Hallowe’en come and gone…

It means I now really have to put away the cute shoes, drag out the boots and socks and stop dreaming about an extended indian summer.
