Enjoli

I still aspire to be the 70's Enjoli woman! Holiday time again and I am struggling to pace myself to the finish of another year.   

This season is especially rigorous for me- I am hosting two holiday events in my home, my daughter is "Mary" in the school Christmas play and she has a December birthday.  Honestly, I love all the action but I am not the Enjoli lady.  I get overwhelmed!

I realized today that it's probably the maddness that actually gets me through the holidays and I bring it on myself.  It’s regrettable that, with age, sometimes the holiday magic is tempered, if not completely lost on those of us who find ourselves grieving this time of year. Hearing Dolly Parton’s Hard Candy Christmas reminded me that I am not alone in experiencing some sadness during the holidays.  Love that Dolly's resolve in this video!  "I'll be fine..." too, by golly!

My co-horts at CFT and I have seen some tough times too.    Let us know what you are struggling with and maybe we at CFT can give you some virtual big-love when you need it most.  Good advice, fully loaded….not sugar coated.  . And here is the rest of it.

"Hard Candy Christmas" is now my theme song. I think I might go get some apple wine too. Think that will help?

I'm currently getting ready to craft together some fireplace sachets for my party guests...saw it on the Martha Stewart website. I think I'm trying to be her too...just manically crafting my way through the holidays!!!!
