In the ebb and flow of life, something has to always give to make room for something else. In order to make room for new things, you must get rid of some of the old. To allow something new to grow you need to prune back what was already there. Something has to give.
We are only given so much time on this God given earth, so TIME is precious. valuable.

December brought a very fun and festive Kreative night! The ladies had a choice of three mason jar crafts to make (see below) and most made their own christmas-y snow globe, which turned out super cute! We also had a very delicious Christmas cookie exchange. It was a wonderful night and I am so happy how everything turned out! Here is the night recapped in pictures!

Happy Monday Folks!
I found this Keurig Carousel at the thrift for a few bucks
and knew I could figure out how to use it for something else. I desperately needed a way to keep all my
acrylic paint organized and yet have them displayed so I could still see the
colors easy enough. After a few
adaptations this Keurig carousel was perfect!
