I have such a large amount of holiday decorations that it takes me the entire month of January just to put them away. I've a habit of setting things near to where they need to go in hopes of a strong young man carrying them to the proper spot in the attic. This rarely happens without much prodding.
I'm leaving my Christmas idea books out all year. Like I need more ideas. I've purchased some of those teeny tiny post-it thingies to mark the ideas that look both fun and do-able.
One in particular is a Christmas ornament. It is a picture copied onto transparency film. Then traced around a clear glass ornament, cut out, and slipped carefully into the ornament. This makes the picture visible from both sides.
I have a printer, I have a camera, I know where to buy transparency film. And, I bought the clear balls when they were deeply discounted after the holidays. I should be able to pull this off.
I must come up with another idea, as I have been giving decoupaged boxes for several years now, and if they are anything like me, the recipients have run out of places to put them!
But, Christmas tree ornaments personalized with a picture - why - you can NEVER have too many of those!
(well...i'll ask that again in a few years...)

You've got to put all the Christmas stuff away and start decorating for Easter. :)
I couldn't believe it a couple of weeks ago when I walked into the local supermarket to find that they're already stocking Easter Eggs and Hot Cross Buns.
With the exception of a roomful of nutcrackers, it is all packed up. Stacked in neat piles in the hallway, it awaits a strong man younger than myself to lift it up into the attic.
I might have to hire a strong younger man. The one I know seems to have no problem leaping over my neatly stacked boxes as if they are not there.
