Holidays are Coming!

...and now we move into the holiday season when the garage explodes with lights, papers, boxes, and all the tools necessary for interior and exterior decorating, gifting, and secret-keeping. The garage becomes a staging area for the drama that goes into hosting family members from around the country. I don't have the heart to post a picture of the disaster that is my current garage. Let's just say I look forward to continuing my Huff, Puff, Sort & Sift efforts in the new year when all endeavors feel fresh with new energy!

Holiday Greetings!

Harvesting season

Life in the garage was going stridently well. The center floor was just a handful of items away from being clearned. Then, as is wont to happen in many households, the holidays happened. The garage exploded with all the Christmas bins dragged out and opened. The labeling made everything go a lot smoother than it normally would have, and almost all the bins were replaced once their contents were accessed.

The re-cluttering happened when the gourd harvest came in from a local farm. My garage has become home to 6 laundry baskets of egg gourds and miniature pear gourds. And, as if that weren't enough, the state gourd chapter belongings from the annual festival landed in the garage: banners, workshop wooden signs cemented in buckets, hanging snake gourd ceiling ornaments, and of course, the 2-car chapter tent.

Ironic there's a tent in the garage large enough to house 2 cars, and there's no room to put my car in the garage.
