A little before Christmas, my friend Julie-Ann Bowden and I swapped two of my scarves for one of her gorgeous paintings! Well, this angel arrived on Saturday and I couldn't be happier! Not only is the painting beautiful, but I love the texture of it. We are trying to find the perfect spot for her in our living room! Thank you, Julie-Ann!!!! You have made me very happy!! If you aren't familiar with Julie-Ann's work and generous, loving spirit, make sure you stop by her blog - you are in for a treat!
On the same day, I also received my first installment of a subscription to this lovely German magazine (I previously posted about it here) - a Christmas present from my dad! It has the most gorgeous photos, interesting articles, scrumptious recipes, and always crafting tips and knitting patterns. For all you German-speaking friends, you might like it, too!!
Well, Daniel started teaching again today, which means that the rhythms of our lives are going to change a bit. It always takes me day or two to adjust to the new routine and today is one of those adjustment days. I feel restless, don't know where to start, what to do... So, I am taking it easy, enjoying the very cold weather (they are predicting light snow on Thursday - in Savannah!), and I'm starting to pick up our Christmas decorations so I can pack them away this week. I didn't think I was ready yet, but suddenly I am.
That brings me to a question for all of you. I find myself at a loss as to how to decorate around the house this time of year. Christmas is over, but spring isn't here yet. And I need something to replace our Christmas decorations - otherwise it just looks too bare. Do you have any suggestions?
I hope your week is off to a great start!! I am looking forward to catching up with you on your blogs...and thank you for all your wonderful comments on my last post! I so appreciate your encouragement!!
