Gave my planner cover a new life thanks to paint pens and black gesso.

My brother and sister-in-law were in the city for a day. They were visiting from London. We went into the city to have a “Christmas Eve” together.  The headlights twinkle in the rain!

Intentions for the Week

Intentions for the Week Workbook by Tracy Benjamin now on sale!

Intentions for the Week- Week 2 in 2026

SECOND WEEK OF THE YEAR!  How are we feeling??  We spent the weekend IN. It’s been raining here, and I am still kinda under the weather. I should also say that I am OVER the weather too. I miss the sun! 

I did go through my closets and gather stuff to get rid of. Are we feeling like purging all of our stuff, too? Let’s see how much we can free ourselves of at the start of the year. We still have our holiday decor up…maybe I’ll add that to the TO DO list this week.
