The Ultimate TO ME FROM ME gift


Occasionally I get a TO ME FROM ME gift for Christmas.
THIS YEAR I got the ultimate #TOMEFROMME

Check it out!
The Workbox 3.0, I have been eyeing
 this little giant gift for a while now 
and Christmas was the perfect opportunity to indulge. 

My gift was delivered on Friday, all whopping 680 lbs. packed in 5 different cartons.
Let's say I was taken back a bit and overwhelmed at the sight of it, not to mention 
wanting to tear into the thing the moment it was delivered. 
However being the mature adult that I am I called
 my handyman and scheduled him for a Tuesday date. 

Well, COME ON TUESDAY!





I'll keep you updated!

In the meantime...

Wishing you Health, Happiness and lots of Creativity!

My Three Little Artists


This year I was going to have a
 GROWN UP Christmas Tree

I ordered special ornaments to 
compliment my ginger jar collection


I carefully decorated the tree with "professional tips" from
 the country's leading designers.


I carefully handled my new hand painted ornaments.


I really put great thought and effort into
 the placement of each ornament.
Using suggestions, from my new book,
of placing the small ornaments at the top 
with larger ornaments adorning the bottom half. 



The very anticipated result was 
A SUPER DISAPPOINTMENT!

The tree didn't have any SPARK.

ENTER THE GRAND CHILDREN...
I had told the girls that they could help me trim the tree, 
so I pulled out the plastic bulbs 
 and let them place a few color
 coordinated bulbs here and there...

No one was following my direction.
The picked any old color and
 hung them where ever they wanted.


WHAT WAS I THINKING???
I was thinking that my Christmas tree
 finally had SPARK!!!!
They did a much better job than I could have ever done!
So now my tree is beautifully
 decorated only as high as 
little designer hands can reach. 



My daughter asked me 
when she was 
leaving if I was going to 
change it back the way it was?
NO WAY!
I LOVE our very eclectic Christmas Tree. 
Thanks to the 3 budding artists 
that I call my granddaughters. 

Wishing You Health and Happiness
this Holiday Season,

Kelley
