January: Where Have You Gone?
I'm having a hard time believing that its the 27th of January already.
Today, Lucas & I finally un-decorated the Christmas tree and put all the Christmas stuff away. Now, my house feels bare. The only thing that made the evening tolerable (it's always a sad day when the Christmas things get put away) was that it was a snowy blizzard outside! :)
This week I am planning to spruce up the house with Valentine's Day decor! :)
More to come this week!

Crafting
So, I was browsing Etsy to find something to use my gift certificate on from my wonderful sister and I came across some felt hearts used as decorations... Here's my own little creations based on those...

Close To My Heart, Never Far From My Mind
I think about my Papa often.
A few times a day, to be honest.
I think about what he would have said in a variety of situations if he was still with us. It would be just the right thing to say at just the right time and it would include hope and positivity.
I think about the BIG smile that would be on his face if he could have met Ella.
I think about how if he was still with us, he would still make daily trips to the barn & help whenever he could. He would still call my mom every single morning and ask her what my dad was up to for the day.
He would wake up well before Nana, but would be quiet and let her sleep; he would check his blood sugar, make coffee, eat breakfast, read the paper and watch the news. If anyone was there to hear him, he would say he needed to check the obituaries to see if he lived another day. :)
He would shake his head in disbelief at the thought of the possibility of the Mosinee Mill closing. He would say "that's too bad" and then go into a story or two of his memories there.
He would love Nana unconditionally; he would be so proud of his kids and their spouses; he would tell everyone all about his grandchildren and great grandchildren.
He would still pick up his long-time friend Joe who no longer drives every Saturday night and they would go to church.
He and Nana would still go to the grocery store together, but use separate carts as well as pay separately (we never really will understand it, but it was them).
I think about him often.
Many things remind me of him on a daily basis.
I think about one of the last things he said to me - she's good - and I hold it dear to my heart.
I think about all the time I got to spend with him and I smile. And, I am forever grateful for being blessed with so many memories. I take comfort in knowing he never really is that far away in memory and what wonderful memories to have.

Gift Giving
I love gifting. I love the challenge of finding the perfect gift for people; or taking their wish list ideas and putting my own creative spin on what else to include or how to present it. With that being said, whether you love gift giving or struggle with it - I introduce you to Birch Box. For Christmas this year, I was gifted a Birch Box from one of my best friends & I love it! :)
These photos are from my second box. :)
