A Finished look at my Wine Rack

The process was chalk paint, clear wax and a little distressing.

Another finished project.

Happy New Year Letter

Behind all the décor is more….LIFE and that’s what makes each of our lives interesting and different from anyone elses’.  

I haven’t written anything long before Christmas because that’s exactly what happened.  No projects were done as the holiday preparations had to be done and really way more important than painting and creating.  

We put our Christmas tree up the first weekend in December and took it down Jan. 5^th, the first weekend home from celebrating with our families in Calgary, Alberta.  We spent a full week there staying at our daughter and son-in-laws home.  The day we planned to drive home was delayed 1 day as we decided we needed one more day of actually nothing planned for that day.  I just couldn’t see ourselves jumping back in our truck and driving a full 12 hrs after a very busy, but great week. 
 

Today it feels like January is dragging and it’s only the 12^th.  I guess it’s true that this month can be a gloomy time for a lot of people but I’m trying to get back in the saddle and start some new projects.  First I have to persuade my husband to rearrange the living room.  After making room for the tree, we never changed it back.  

I’m excited about what the future (this year) holds for me and my hubby.  And I’ll keep you posted on any big changes.    

Our daughter and husband continue to wait for their precious child that they are adopting.  That day will be a very special day indeed!

Our son and his fiancé are busy planning their wedding for the year 2014.  So long to wait but half the fun is in the planning, right? 

I just joined Twitter too.  For some that’s old news but for old folks like myself, it’s trying to keep informed and in the loop.   

Keep watching for new projects to come, hopefully very soon!  

Happy New Year!
