Merry Christmas

Wow! Is everyone else as tired as I am? Christmas is a whirlwind! I had family in town all week and some drop in company throughout the season. At least my house is some-what clean and now I can relax a bit. I started by joining some dear friends for coffee at a local coffee shop on the square in Newnan today. Even though the service left much to be desired, the company was great! Jeanna and Margo always have a way of making lemons into lemonade when we are together. There is something special about spending that quite time with friends without our children. I know most of you don't know this about me, but I am a homeschool mom and as rewarding as it is to teach your children and see them discover new things everyday it feels great to get out and be with other homeschool moms that need some encouragement just like me. It was rejuvenating and has sparked my creative juices! We went next door to the quilting shop and I realized that I don't have time for another hobby...but I did realize that it was a great place to get some color combination ideas and it really stimulates your creative side. One day I will take it up and learn the art of quilting, but for now I will wander in for inspiration! I also can't wait to use the coffee shop wall in scrapbook page! Faux brick and broken plaster sounds like a great backdrop to a sizzling page! I challenge you to look for inspiration everywhere that you go and to take some time to get a page or so done before the new year begins.
