<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;">November
and December are often full of extra demands on time, energy, and budget and
while the intent is good cheer and joy it can often start to feel stressful! When the to do list gets filled with social
events, shopping for presents, writing Christmas cards, decorating, baking, and
everything else that goes with the season it can start to feel like too much. Then to add to the pressure we often create
unrealistic expectations of perfection, happiness, and getting everything
done. Time gets short and self-care
often gets shifted to the bottom of the list so sleep, nutrition, and
relaxation suffer. If one doesn’t take
care, stress can take over! And the fun
disappears!<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

This past year I impulsively bought an Isagenix 30 Cleansing and Fat Burning Pak and have determined it was the best impulse ever! <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://bjkingnd.isagenix.com/~/media/system-and-pak/30-day-system/30-day-images/web/us-en-30-day-basic-system-2013-800.ashx" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://bjkingnd.isagenix.com/~/media/system-and-pak/30-day-system/30-day-images/web/us-en-30-day-basic-system-2013-800.ashx" height="322" width="400" /></a></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have kept using products for the past 7 months and can't imagine ever giving it up. Best benefits are energy, feeling healthy, and ease of use. I've lost weight and maintained the loss after years of struggling to do so. I no longer have the energy slumps I used to experience. Pobably the biggest reason it works so well for me is that above being effective it is so easy to use. I love that I can have a shake or meal replacement bar when I have patients scheduled over noon hour or I am running around and don't have the time to sit down for a meal. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
I love that the company seems to have good research backing the products. Isagenix is geared for althletes, individuals wanting to lose weight, busy adults needing moe energy, and families with children. <br />
<br />
And for those who like to party, there are even recommendations for feeling better! LOL!<br />

The bathroom/dressing area at the barn was a project taken on by several of the young women who work for my horse trainer. I made some paintings to match the pink, purple, and blue spatter painter bathroom. A barn full of horses and women is definitely a fun place!<div>

Reining is hard work for a horse so I have bought a yearling colt as my next potential reining horse. He is one sweet little boy. <br />

Boom Shernic Chic, also known as Dax, has just started training and hopefully will be ready for a couple of early fall futurities.<br />

That means a lot of weeks dreaming about gardening while waiting for snow to melt. Thankfully, it was a beautiful frosty foggy February day which reminded me of the beauty of winter. It warmed up to 20 degrees F so took the dogs and my camera and went snowshoeing for a bit this afternoon.<br />
<br />
Too many pictures of a warm winter day:<br />

No blizzard warning for us all day but roads are shut down and it was a good day to play. The first flowers of spring around here are dandelions. So it seemed making dandelions was a good snowstorm project while dreaming of spring!<br />

They are pretty easy to make. I cut a piece of wire from a hanger and wrapped it in floral tape. I cut a strip of yellow felt and made slits along one edge. The yellow felt got wrapped around the stem and I used needle and thread to secure it. Green felt was wrapped around the bottom and secured. The leaf was secured using more floral tape. <br />

Yep, it will only be a couple of months until the dandelions start blooming and the grass starts turning green. There is a lot of snow to melt first....<br />

I enjoy watching a good game, but don't plan my weekends around football. And I always watch the Super Bowl, even if it is often to catch the advertisements. And I usually am doing at least one other thing when I watch television. This time it was making tags.<br />

So the Super Bowl was a win for me! I made a bunch of cards and treat holders also. Those will show up in my next posts. Hope you enjoyed your Sunday! Football or no football! Do you multi-task also?<a href="http://www.keepingitsimplecrafts.com/" target="_blank"> </a><br />

A bit of sparkly woodland sits here. And deer, especially sparkly glittered ones, will be remembered either fondly or with a head shake or perhaps deer and owls will become more of a classic. <br />

I bought paint, and it sat for about 6 months. I wasn't sure if grey paint
would feel to cold or gloomy during our long North Dakota winters so I hesitated. But this past weekend I was ready to make a change.
<br />
<br />
Lots of pictures...<br />
<br />
I painted two walls the darker shade of grey, and the other walls a lighter shade.<br />

This is a lovely old dresser I found and left in all it's shabby white charm. Some of my favorite type objects sit atop it: candles, old silver, tin, mercury glass, vanilla candles, nature, dried roses and hydrangeas, linens, and ephemera. That is a lot of elements in one small space. And the grey and white are not at all cold, as I had feared.<br />

We live out in the country. Wind and rain will probably do a number on this display, so it may not last long. But it was 70 degrees today and likely to be the last day that warm until next April. I had to find something to do outside after work, so I decided to play.<br />

A little imagination can go a long way with simple additions to vignettes. A few leftovers, items from the dollar store, and a few moments of craftiness add a touch of the macabre.<br />

Gotta love the dollar store! Skeleton parts, skull, and two glass candlesticks and a candle holder for a total of $5.00 add a little Halloween fun.<br />

I hadn't realized that when I was told he was a Snowshoe kitten that it referred to a breed and not his coloration. His ears are smudge collored and he has a ring tail. It will be fun to see how much the dark points darken as he gets older. Sorta cool having a rare breed of cat. He is such a snuggler and the only kitten we have ever had that goes to bed with us and stays curled up and sleeping until we get up in the morning.<br />

Hmm, that spider looks more like a fly. But guess that works also. So a little fall and a bit of Halloween thrown in for fun! Hoping we can make it to Halloween without any snowfall. Seems like many Halloweens have been the first snowfall of the year. Makes me really appreciate the 85 degrees today.<br />

<span style="text-align: start;">Time flies so fast! It seems like just last year that the kids were young and their friends were often found hanging out at our house. It was quite busy at times when they were little as I had two sons and a daughter all withing three and a half years. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="text-align: start;">I did not anticipate that would mean marriages, houses, and babies all coming in rapid succession years later. LOL! It has been a busy few years again. They have managed to get married (all three), buy homes (two oldest), and have children (oldest and soon to be second) all in order. </span></div>

<span style="text-align: start;">My daughter was married this past June. She and I had great fun making the wedding decorations. Doing so allowed me to make extra trips to Missouri to spend time with her also. I thought I would share some pictures of the wedding decorations. The wedding was a small destination wedding that occurred lakeside and required everything be brought in and out in a short time.</span></div>

I used the <a href="http://dragonflysandstars.blogspot.com/2012/01/i-did-it.html%20Done" target="_blank">Giani Granite</a> kit to improve the counter tops. Removed and repainted where there had been a wallpaper boarder. And this weekend I striped a wall.<br />

It sorta sets of the front entrance which opens right into the kitchen. And who knew that striped could be so easy and quick to paint if you just add them to the color you already have on the wall. Gotta love quick easy updates!<br />
