We are almost a third of the way through holiday break and I haven't torn out my hair yet so I guess that means it is going well! Georgia and I have managed to stay busy but not too busy. I have to admit that but for a few moments here and there, we've had a good week.Yesterday Tante and Tony left for a holiday in Florida so we celebrated Christmas with my family last Saturday. As usual, everyone was so generous, especially with G. She got every possible art supply under the sun, including an easel. On Sunday, we did some rearranging and reorganizing and came up with this new arts & crafts station in the living room. It doesn't always look like this, of course! We borrowed an idea from Mrs. Fields and have a "good work" basket on top of the shelf, a place for G to put all of her finished projects.
Here are photos of our living room as it is decked for the holidays.
Mr. Frugal bought us a 7.5 ft. tree for 70% off last week so we finally have a tree. Thanks to Joann corp. for saving our Christmas with their fab sale. We are just using the top 2 pieces as Tucker would certainly attack it if it were on the floor.
(Wow. Seeing the blank wall behind the sofa in photos makes me realize how much we need to get some artwork up there! Funny how you get used to something when you live with it day to day.)
