Plans...
 
Our house is overflowing with my business.  There never seems to be enough space for hobbies or personal things. My passion is doing family genealogy research.  I have several notebooks full of notes.  Folders full of documents.  And 3 ring binders for several family members.  Most of the time it is all piled up on the floor next to my big comfy chair.
 
Today I drew up this plan for a fold-out desk.  There is a spot in my family room that would be perfect for a workspace.  This desk will fit perfectly there.  It will be  about the size of a bookcase.  30"x30" and 14" deep.  It will look like a bookcase other than it will have hinged fold out work surfaces on both sides.  When fully opened it will give me a 44"x30" work surface.
 
Now we just need some warmer weather so my wonderful husband can get this made for me.  I even incorporated 4 built-in drawers for pens, markers, paperclips and sticky notes.  It will be so wonderful to have an organized space for these important pieces of my past.

Fun day today.  The past several days have been spent getting things done before we leave for Florida.  My business is the most organized it has ever been.  This morning I cleared my custom order board and mailed out all pending orders.  Late this morning I headed for the kitchen and created some wo nderful lotions. The pretty peppermint jars contain "Peppermint Perfection", a luscious hand balm that has a heavenly peppermint scent. The "Green Stuff" is a boo-boo salve.  It works great on cuts, burns, very dry skin and it stops bug bites from itching. And the pretty lotion in the middle is "Mara's Magical Moisturizer" which I created for my granddaughter to help relieve some of her dry skin caused by eczema.  This is a new and improved version.  I am hoping this will work even better than the last batch. Not in this photo is the body wash I made.  Super rich and its wonderful smell is peppermint and sweet orange. The fun

The Witch's Hat... Stumbled across this quite by mistake today.  It took a little bit of four wheel driving to get up to the top of the hill due to MORE fresh snow overnight.  After a slippery walk up a bunch of steps and a snowy hill there was the most fabulous view of the beautiful city of Minneapolis.  This landmark is known as the "Witch's Hat".  This water tower was built in 1913 and sits in Prospect Park which is the highest natural spot in the city. With the lamp post in the foreground doesn't this remind you of Narnia -- The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe?
