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.
