    Time to Hibernate

    I’m laughing as I write the word “hibernate” because living in Central Texas requires anything but hibernating. This weekend I went running around the lake in shorts and a t-shirt!
    But Winter Break is upon us, and it’s time for me to hang up my blogging shoes until January. Even though we are working really hard to keep our holiday season low-key, we are still going to be busy spending time with family. 
    I need to really think about what my intentions are going to be for next year. I want to shift my focus away from doing to being. As much as possible. I’ll always be a doer.

    Easy DIY Ornament

    I am on our staff holiday party planning committee this year. As part of my work, I volunteered to plan an easy DIY ornament project. 
    I purchased all the supplies at Hobby Lobby:
    1. Ornaments
    2. Ribbon
    3. Glitter
    4. Stickers

    Putting the project together was a cinch. I used a piece of paper to create a funnel that enabled me to put glitter in the ornament. Then I stuck on the stickers to spell “joy” and tied the ribbon to the top. Voila!

    I’m all about easy and fun this holiday season!
