The thrill is gone, Christmas is over and my thoughts are gearing up towards the New Year and new ways! As I pack up the holiday decorations and try to get the house back to some sort of normal, I"m finding my self eager to start re-organizing the whole house, one room at a time! I've been set in my old ways too long, and I've been given another chance at finding a place for everything and keeping it there! I don't know what is about a new year that throws me into this domestic drama but I'm excited about new ways to organize, decorate and store. Once the last Christmas tub is packed away, I'll start in the smallest room in the house so I don't get too overwhelmed, the bathroom. I can hardly wait! Really!
And now for the real reason your here, to see who won my last giveaway of the year, a apron. Random.org picked..............Emily of Barefoot Coffee Girl! Congrats!! Send me a email with your mailing info. and I'll get your apron made and shipped to you by the weekend. It seems Emily is another Missouri blogger so not only do I save on shipping, I'm adding to her apron collection of 1. So, I'm happy you won Emily and can't wait to find out where you live! And don't forget, you have 2 weeks to sign up for the Valentine Apron swap, just scroll down to that post. Tomorrow is the last Tasty Tuesday for 2010!
I think it's just the idea of a brand new year that throws people into make-over mode, whether it's with themselves or their homes. Thoughts of new possibilities, fresh starts, and changes for the better seem to come more freely this time of year at this benchmark time, rather than, say, in the middle of July.
ReplyDeleteI've been doing the same around here.
ReplyDeletePacking up the Christmas decor and in the mood for some change.
I've cleaning out cabinets, closets, dusting, and trying to think of some new ways to decorate rooms.
I am however trying to fight off getting overwhelmed.
So much I want to do!!
Take care,
Tam
Happy New year Sue Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteCongrats to Emily. She is a lucky ducky to win your beautiful apron of love. It is so pretty. Love it.
Yep, now we have the work of putting everything all back together and away for the year. Takes us so many weeks to decorate and then we only have a few days to put it all away.
Happy New Years Sweet Friend. Many hugs, Sherry
Love the new look of your blog! I didn't even recognize it. Hope you have a Happy New Year.

Thak you soooo much Sue!!! I'm overly excited. The email has been sent.
ReplyDeleteI do the same thing around here too. After all the decorations are gone, and the last bit of wrappings finally have been disposed of, it seems all so fresh and new in the house... I love it.
Congrats to Emily!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm also in the mood to get my house organized and finish the painting -lol!!! Guess I better get a move on that before the hot weather gets here :)
