It's the Little Things: Day 33

  I want to focus on the good things this year.
All the things people get right.
All the times that everything works out just perfectly after we assumed disaster had already struck.
All the times that the right word was spoken at the right moment.
So, let's celebrate those little moments together, shall we?

• It's Craft Day at work, and helping little hands make something fun and beautiful
• It's FRIDAY, and knowing the weekend starts now.
• It's knowing the house is already prepared for Game Night so there will be no mad rush to get ready on time. 
• It's watching your grandson open his gifts from you since his birthday was yesterday, and his parents are kind enough to wait for us to be able to Skype to see him enjoy it. (It makes not being there a little easier)
• It's Game Night, full of friends, laughter and healthy competition.
• It's a late bedtime because Dan wanted to keep playing games, even after everyone else cleared out. Hooray for knowing I can sleep in tomorrow! ;)

What's on YOUR little things list today?

Suprises in the Mail

I have amazing friends. Friends that are so good to me that it's humbling. God has so richly blessed me in this area of my life. I have a sweet friend who makes darling crocheted items for her family and friends. A few weeks ago, she made a 'gypsy head wrap' for one of her littles and I mentioned in passing that it was lovely and I wished I had one just like it. Low and behold, a week later, here came one in the mail. I snatched it out the package while squealing with delight and put it right on my head because...friends, when your amazing-outstanding-selfless friend makes you a precious gift, you wear it whether it is 92* or not. Because LOVE.

If you love crocheted items but are like me and can't make them for yourself, check out her little slice of the cyber-land. She does a great job and has completely reasonable prices.

Holiday Hallway Project

Hello Friends!
Just zipping past with a quick craft for the 'no big holiday' months of January and February. I have this lovely little hallway at the front of my house and I've claimed it as the 'holiday hallway' since hubster doesn't care for my 'clutter', I mean decorating attempts. So since we've arrived last spring, it's been adorned with our Summer Reading Challenge posters, spent a while dressed up for fall, and most recently was a wintry blizzard full of snowflakes. I had intended to leave the snow up all winter, but a certain someone declared with CHRISTMAS decorations and helpfully took them down for me. *ahem, thank you* So I now have a bare hallway that is NEEDING some attention. I've got two long pieces of twine strung along the walls and plenty of mini-clothes pins to hang things on, so it's just a matter of picking a topic. After perusing my calendar for upcoming holidays, I decided that I'd do a multi-holiday theme for the rest of the winter. Those holidays include more snowflakes, hearts for Valentine's Day, President silhouettes and quotes plus national and state flags for President's Day, and "I have a dream" Dream Clouds for Martin Luther King Day where they will fill in their dreams for the world. To some it might be a bit jumbled looking, but I'm excited about it.
I've got a house full today with Jodi's 2 boys here to join my 3, so once nap time is over for the littles, we will be gathering around the craft table with scissors, glue and crayons to enjoy some creative time together.
If you are interested, I printed things from these pages.
