Creatin' Memories

This year I did the Facebook trend of 30 Days of Thankfulness posts for November. I wasn't sure what to expect for the 30 days but it was a GREAT decision that made my perspective on life's blessings much fuller. Even though the challenge's over, I find myself daily looking at life with more appreciation. To carry on with making this holiday season joyful, I'm coming up with a Wish List for 12 fun ways to celebrate Christmas! With so many parties, presents, & packing to do, Christmas can get pretty stressful/materialistic...so here's my attempt to keep it real. Stay tuned to hear updates:)
