Taking Down Christmas

The day after New Year’s is one of my 

major cleaning days.   

The tree comes down, all the decorations are taken down

 and packed away.  The only thing left up is the berry wreath 

on the front door, which I leave up for another few weeks

 and the lights on the outside of the house.

  They got unplugged today, but will stay on the house

 until we have a nice weekend without ice and snow.   

We are way to safety conscience to be climbing ladders 

in the snow.  We would much rather have them stay

on the house, than to be wearing a cast on one of our limbs 

for the next six weeks, LOL.

Today is January 3^rd and I plan on going into town 

and mailing out Kay’s prize.  

 Then in the afternoon I’m meeting some dear friends 

for a jam session.  I love these small get-togethers, 

they are a great time to pick up tips and learn a new song or two.

These are a few photos from my very first post on January 6, 2012. 

 I cannot believe how tidy my studio is . . . I love it.   

I don’t think that it has been that organized since these photos were taken.   

So, that is going to be my ongoing project this month . . . 

to clean out some of the junk that I have saved, 

for who knows what (until I toss it and then remember), 

but that is the way it goes.   

 At the moment all that I can think about is

 having lots of counter space and room to create.

I have given up on making a list of resolutions 
and just plan on taking it one project at a time.
