January is such a busy month with taking down the Christmas decorations and cleaning the house from top to bottom that it's going by quickly. My house always looks so blah after all the lights and sparkle are put away especially on all the grey rainy days we've been having.
I was proud of myself because I was able to stick to my decluttering plan and whittle down more of our Christmas decorations. I still have way too many boxes in storage, but it's less than last year, which is a good thing!
I had a bit of spare time left in between packing and cleaning, and decided to play with the first sketch of the year at Atlantic Hearts Sketch Challenge blog. I love this layout and had no difficulty coming up with my own version of the sketch.

That's cool LeAnne. I know you'll love the bundle, I haven't stopped playing with mine since I opened it! Cheers
I did the same things this year - took down the Christmas decorations and made some serious down-sizing decisions. Which had meaning to me and which were simply filling space. It's a big step. I love your card - what's better than coffee and conuts?! The colors are fabulous!
Thanks for leaving me some love Kim. We have similar downsizing decisions as to what's simply filling space and those that I'm keeping for sentimental reasons. I just started a new thing this week that is when you walk into a room, or you're in a room for a specific purpose that when I leave I remove one thing and dispose of it. So far it's been working in my closet and bathroom, quite successfully and it doesn't take a lot of stressing or thought.
