My Week!
Bustling!
In a good way!
Catching up on things that should have happened in January.
(Two new shelves up high for the two largest Christmas trees)
Oh, does that feel good!
Embarrassed to admit one — in her bag — has been reclining on the balcony sectional
So Yesterday, I can finally say Christmas has been put to bed!
And also yesterday, the 25th, Christmas in July, I celebrated with a new post.
All about . . . . can you guess?
Yep, Christmas stockings — covering questions you should ask
and possibly sit with for a bit
before you begin shopping for Christmas stockings.

Remember, this is a judge-free zone!
We gather to support each other.
Besides, last week I declared a “Do-Over”
and my 2026 started last week!!!
So that makes it still January for me.
Thinking Through Stockings
Merry Christmas in July!
This is a new preparatory post, one to get you thinking and planning.
Questions to answer before you even start shopping.
It’s never to early to strategize . . .
