It's holiday cleanup time.
Every time I look around the apartment, all I see is clutter. I really need to weed out what we don't use. My Mom's coming here this year. I see this as a good excuse to do all those things I've been putting off for months (years?). Ugh. I hate massive cleanups.
On the creative side, I found all the little cutout snowflakes I did last year and contact-papered them to use as ornaments. I was having enough fun at it to make twelve more. Damn. That's 36 ornaments that I didn't have last year that are unbreakable, light, fun and will look great with lights shimmering through them. I think these will be replacing those lovely but very fragile glass balls on the tree this year. Sure, the cats may want to eat them, but it's easy to make more. One 8.5"x11" page yields twelve of them.
