Tradition Glitters this year at Christmas!!

You can never have too much gold, red, green  and GLITTER at the holidays! Finished up decorating Christmas trees at  the store this week. This 9 foot entry tree was the last of a dozen theme trees that I planned and decorated  at work this year.(Just need to make a tree topper bow to finish it off.)
Other popular themes are candy/ gingerbread with the ever popular cupcakes this year.Bronze, gold and copper is another good decorators choice. The  bird tree  filled with bright red cardinals,shimmering nests and ruby throated hummingbirds is always poplar.A frosted tree decorated with snowflakes, angels and crystal is another scene stealer.
Red, white and green is also  a very traditional look, with or without  the sparkle.Snowman themes are great, cause they still are appropriate in January.
34 days til Christmas,but who's counting?

Parting is such sweet sorrow,but it looks so good!

After living in a home for almost 40 years I've accumulated a lot of stuff. I've been busy re-organizing and cleaning closets and cupboards so when I move it will be easier and faster.But at the moment the place is a disaster, as I go through clothes,books, and photographs.
I need a better plan.Clean 3 rooms in 3 weeks, a Thanksgiving deadline, sounds like a good goal and plan.
So I'm busy boxing up stuff for Goodwill and taking photos for ebay items.Cleaning out the book case and redoing old magnetic photo albums.The shelves and albums are looking so good! I am inspired to continue on.It's good to have goals.
