Magic Time

Well, with the time change this weekend, I ended up with 45 minutes of EXTRA time :)

Here's how it happened: I had very little sleep Saturday and Sunday nights, so when I was adjusting all my clocks one hour forward, (losing an hour), I somehow discombobbled on the little alarm that I use to tell myself when it's time to go somewhere.

So Sunday I was talking to Amanda when that alarm went off at 5:15 pm, telling me it was time to be picked up for house church . . . only it turned out that it was actually 4:30!!! So Amanda, quick on her mental feet, challenged me to work those 45 "extra" minutes on some ButterFly stuff . . . and I did!!!




I printed out one of the bazillion great elephant pictures Sharon had emailed me, and using that as a guide, I sketched a big Ellie Fant for my progress chart. I paper-glued in colors to represent the areas of the house I've already sorted . . . the pink splotches on her rump represent the bit-by-bit progress in the Rainbow Room. I love Sharon's idea of ending up with a Rainbow elephant, instead of a chewed up one (bite by bite).







The poem was one I unearthed recently in some sorting.

The bird is from the Welcome sign Amanda made for Sharon and Jim's visit.










Then I went downstairs and Mooooooooooooooooooooooooved the file cabinet and the office desk. As you can see, I have MUCH to sort to make that desk safe and workable . .
