Crazy Holiday

This is a story about how desperate I get during the Holidays. Earlier this year I bought all these darling glass jars to decorate (this was my inspiration) and fill with treats for friends and neighbors this Christmas. I also spent a considerable amount of time and $$$$ on adorable scrapbooking paper to cover the jars
and make matching tags. Great idea...Good plan. As each day passed I would say to myself.. "I need to get those jars covered and the tags made." Well, folks, it just never happened! Last Tuesday I finally had to admit defeat, get those jars filled and delivered or it just wasn't going to happen at all! This is how my jars looked.....No cute scrapbooking paper, no embellishments, not even cute tags. The tags were made on the computer using graphics from MSN Office! Even the marker I used for writing on the tags was running out of ink and looks crappy! As Ali Edwards would say, "Embrace imperfection!" I am the poster child for that slogan!

Ta-Da! I did it again!

A few days ago I started a blog. Then for some reason yet to be determined I could never get back onto the blog to post. I used the password I thought I had typed in and about 1,000 more and none worked. I called my blogger daughters and quizzed them and their computer genious husbands and they all tried to help me with no result but frustration on my part and theirs! Okay...I am computer illiterate! I admit it! So with much delay and a few tears...here it is again! I hope you enjoy!
