Season's Greetings & Gratitude
Monday, December 2, 2013
I LOVE CHRISTMAS!! One of my favorite parts of the season has ALWAYS been THE TREE. I decorated the family tree nearly every year growing up. I love the process of unwrapping each ornament, recalling the memories attached to it, and finding the perfect spot for each one on the tree.

I'm Getting On My Soap Box
Thursday, October 18, 2012
