Christmas Is Near
Time has simply slipped me by since my last post!
I'll be honest, every day I thought of keeping up with my blog posting; but by the end of the day I was simply too tired to do so.
I decided that instead of beating myself down for not getting everything done and not being on schedule for this busy Christmas season, I would simply enjoy and make the most of each day!
So far, I have stuck by my decision!
2nd Annual Welcome Back to AZ get together hosted by Luann (second left).
Garage Sale outing with my sister & mom; and still can't believe I didn't get this antique dresser!!!
First golf round with the Girls, and meeting two of our new ladies joining our fun group.

Oh yes … and finally learning to use my iPhone to take a timed group selfie! The funniest part was doing the "selfie shuffle" so we could all fit in the picture … hilarious!
Attended my monthly stamping Make & Take and started making this year's Christmas cards.
Spending quality time with Daphne, and
Jack!!!
Discovering a new place for Happy Hour after our weekly round of golf.
Doing a little bit of decorating update in the guest bathroom; and still not sure if this is it!
The best and happiest discovery is finding out that I have lost a total of 25 pounds so far; and being able to fit into my old jeans!!!
A couple of thrifty finds … new chair and table set for my bedroom!
Dumpster diving in my neighbor's trash. A frame that I plan on using for a project.

Decorating our home for Christmas has been a day to day process. I'm usually all done decorating our home by the end of Thanksgiving weekend. I'm not as fast as I used to be.
My favorite time of the Christmas and winter season is having PJ Days!

an afternoon of a refreshing rain shower!

After dinner we strolled around Downtown Glendale Glitters, and
and were awed by the beautiful lit trees in the square!
Attended our annual Stamping Make & Take Christmas Party. Delicious food, fun games and great company.
I love that red truck and want one!!!
This handmade snowman was the most wanted gift stolen during the Dirty Santa gift exchange.
Finally needed a much well deserved stay in bed day and recharge.
More thrifty finds at my local thrift stores.
I rescued this cross stitched Santa and gave it new life!
I'm thankful that I have good health to make the most of each day to the fullest!
Today I go on a Girls Day Hike and lunch in Wickenburg.
Whatever is beautiful. Whatever is meaningful. Whatever brings you happiness.
May it be yours this holiday season and throughout the coming year.
