I started at 9am and finished taking down, cleaning and rearranging my house at 6pm. <BR/><BRCoachKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15982427179808293539noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-371734443102841468.post-29953929204628153332009-01-09T13:18:00.000-05:002009-01-09T13:18:00.000-05:00This post is worth reading again and again, just t...This post is worth reading again and again, just to look at the pretty pictures.

This year I had some extra motivation with an impending move, so I tackled them as soon as I returned from vacation...of course it was after New Year's Day. I also didn't put as much up this year because it looked like I was going to move. <BR/><BR/>Now the corner that housed the tree from Thanksgiving to New Year's is starting Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00306886935043225767noreply@blogger.com
