Week in review....

These past week has been a whirlwind of activity at work and at home. A week ago, I baked cookies for gifts for work and ended up baking close to 20 dozen assorted cookies. I split them up and delivered them to each department at work that I work with daily. That night I realized it was a full moon and got an awesome picture of the sky.

I got a lot of gifts from friends at work and love them all. But my favorite was the tall pelican and the pineapple. They are looking great in my beach room. 

I love the fact that the pineapple is a night light. It's really neat.

The kids came over for Christmas eve and we had our family Christmas. My grandchildren are growing up way too fast for me. We had a great time. I got some wonderful gifts from them and hated to see them leave to go home.

I always pick myself up a few things for Christmas to have under my tree for Christmas morning. I was thrilled with my new Happy Planner.

I got the planner and some supplies to decorated some of the pages so I don't have a blah planner. I love sprucing things up.

The favorite thing I bought myself was a birthstone ring. It is blue topaz. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it. I am so happy with it.

My word for 2019 is going to be DARE as I come outside of my comfort zone and dare to be what I want to be and do what I want to do instead of what others expect of me. Thirty-One came out with a new canvas bag called a statement bag. You can customize your own bag. My friend Jonnie at work designed me a motivational poster about DARE. I will be sharing the story behind the word on January 1st. But he ended the poster with the words "When you think you've given your all, I dare you to be more." I just loved that line so I'm using it as my mantra in 2019. That's why I wanted my bag to say Dare to be MORE. I can't wait to get it. I will post the actual product when it comes in.

I am going to really work my Thirty-One business next year. They are offering a lot of incentives. In January, I have a goal of $1000 in sales and I will receive this bag. I am in love with the new Island Nights pattern. 

Well, that's it for today. I hope everyone has a great weekend.
