Tis the season to have sooo many things going on. So my junk show last weekend ended up being
much better than I anticipated and I am very happy about it. I just didn’t have
time to prepare like I normally do and be completely ready. I had a huge
project that I thought would be my “money maker” for the show and I didn’t even
get to touch it. Now I have to wait until next year to do because I already
bought the supplies and its Christmas related.
Oh well!! Maybe I’ll do them next month and have them done so not to
worry about it later. Todd always helps
me take down and load up my trailer after the show. He even commented on fast and easy it was to
tear down and lot less to load so he was happy with my show as well. My in-laws drove out to see me at the show
which always warms my heart because it’s almost an hour aaway from them and
they got lost this time due to some detours.
My friend Wendy also came who has never missed one of my shows. I love my support system!!

After the show, we had to rush to go to our friends
Christmas pajama party. I, of course,
found some Grinch pajamas for Todd and I because that’s one of my fave themes. For
anyone new to my blog, I have a whole collection of Grinch stuff for a Grinch display
every year in my home for Christmas. I really
love The Grinch and have since I was a kid.
The party was a great time AND I won a gift card for best Pj’s
costume. Truth is , there was a tie
between me and one of the neighbors dressed as a deer and we had to play rock,
paper, scissors ( we cheated and kept doing the same thing) and then had to
guess a number between one and twenty and I won. LOL
Now that the show is over ,I can focus on decorating my
house but to be honest, I am throwing in the towel. We have our tree up and
decorated and its beautiful. I usually deck the halls, the mantle, the front
room, and anywhere else and I have so many fun awesome Christmas decorations
but I’m losing my steam. I think just
being so behind this year I’m starting to get anxiety and I just cant do it. I don’t
have it in me. I just mentioned this today to Todd, I think I want to put all
the tubs back in the attic and just stick with whats already out. It will still look a little festive and that
just needs to be enough. I did manage to replace my doll heads with ornaments and
small bottle brush trees in my gumball machine though. I am glad I was able to
get that done before I lost my steam. I
have 2 inflatables I need to get up in my yard and put some lights around our
front door this week and that’s it. How about
you? Have you ever just called it quits because something was looming over you
and the fun went out the window?
I’m taking this Friday off to go hang out with a friend at
McKinney square which will help get me back in the spirit again. I try to go every
year and see all the fun decorations and stuff. I’m looking forward to that and
then just relaxing this weekend. We
shall see …. We don’t sit still well.
