I won’t consider it finished until I vacuum, but all of the clutter is history!

It went through several stages … and finally we’re here:

Phew!

That took longer than I expected … but, I did need to break my cleaning into some smaller sorting projects (like those baskets) for days (like today) where I don’t really get home until after 10 p.m.

It’s difficult to clean and post by midnight!

Now that Thanksgiving is over, I’m almost ready to start embracing the holiday season. It still feels early, but I have started Christmas shopping!

I still get as excited about Christmas as I did as a little girl, though now it’s about giving as well as receiving. I am thankful that the holidays still have that sparkle!
