It’s November and the summer clothes are packed away and replaced with my favorite fleece and wooly mittens. Some may think I’m crazy, but I look forward to the winter months when I can hibernate. Sure there is shoveling to do when the snow begins to fly, but this time of year gives me more time to work on my scrapbooks, get caught up on reading while curled up in front of the fireplace and watch winter sports on the comfort of my couch.

When the seasons are in transition I also feel as though I’m changing. I usually find myself flitting around like a fall leaf not able to settle down. Once the closure of one season is behind me, I can begin to focus on the next. Planning for Thanksgiving has begun and the Christmas list is growing.

As I write this article, I am checking things off my To Do List as I look ahead to what the cold winter months have in store. Be sure to stay focused on the task at hand, so when moments and events, those planned and not planned happen, you can absorb every little detail and capture it in your memory without any distractions.

Happy Scrappin'
