There has been a lot going on this past week which is a good thing. I met some big deadlines at work on Friday and another big project is close to being finished. Hence the offbeat picture of my command control center at work. I emptied my kitchen and moved everything into the living room this past week and the ceiling is finally being repaired after the Niagara Falls incident a year ago. This is too big a job for me to do by myself so I was able to hire someone who is very talented and wonderful to work with. He is giving me assistant jobs to do like scraping off two layers of wallpaper with a chisel he let me borrow and washing the walls with bleach. He is going to paint the cupboards, wainscoting and walls as well. Repainting my home has been a long time coming and I am just doing one room at a time when I can. I did my bedroom all by myself this fall and only fell off the ladder a few times 
On the creative side, I am working on my ATC cards to go with the core values I did last week for the True North Arts Vision Journaling class, I bought background fabric at Joann’s to go with my stash of floral fabrics for a bed quilt for my aunt Ethel, and my new Staedtler triplus fineliner markers and 9 sheets of different colored Canson mi-Tientes paper came from Blick Art Materials. I also managed a trip to Borders to use a gift card from Christmas and chose Somerset Publications Art Journaling and Art Quilting Studio. And I picked up the first lesson of a free year long online scrapbooking class The Street Where You Live by Jane Howden at Get It Scrapped. In the supermarket today there was a sign at the deli counter that said “49 days ’til spring” and the below zero windchill factor weather seems to have passed today.
