This year I have taken a different approach to getting the house "ready" </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
for the different seasons.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I call it the "little-by-little" technique, or "5 minute holiday decorating". <br>

<a href="http://refresh-renew.blogspot.com/2015/01/simplify-for-2015.html" target="_blank">My New Year's post for 2015 was my most viewed of last year.</a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">As I have mentioned many times, 2015 was a blur....but I am happy I was able to keep blogging during all the transition as it is fun to look back now and see how I was thinking during that phase. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">I didn't get to do much crafting, but instead focused on my photography. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">I love this photo of the coral. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">I collected this dead find more than 20 years ago </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">off of the coast of Southern California, </span><span style="text-align: start;">scuba-diving with my dad. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Even though the water temperature was very cold, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">we used to try to go out a few weekends every month in the summer--</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">--he would hunt fresh fish, and I would treasure hunt in the rocks and sand. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">I remember this sea fan was "blowing" right across my path, </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">in the currents on the sand, at the bottom of the ocean 35 feet under. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">It looks so delicate, but it is very strong and resilient.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: start;">Poetic.</span></div>

Yes. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've decided that my 'new year' </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
will officially begin on February 1st!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I will not apologize that I needed all of January to process all of the holidays.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And, I'm happy to say, my hubby officially put the Christmas bins up in the attic today....</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
there, the house is back in order...albeit no less hectic.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am excited about this year for many reasons...</div>

The weather literally changed overnight from 75 degrees to 40<br />
and it feels like winter is in the air!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It is rainy and cold<br />
but it feels cozy... </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
to be home with a fire...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
eating turkey leftovers...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and pecan pie for breakfast...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
pulling out small bits of Christmas decorations </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
while the hubby watches football.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Feeling grateful for a house full of family<br />
and a husband who likes to put out Christmas lights!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
{This is the earliest we have ever decorated for Christmas and it has been fun!}</div>

Have a wonderful week - enjoy the transition into the holidays.</div>

Someone set pumpkins on the hill. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
How elegant they looked--poised against the dry, dead grass </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and leafless oaks of the field.<br>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Every doorway was enchanting...and each home beckoned us to come in...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
and hear the stories they had to tell...from the birth of our nation to its modern era.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

where have my blogging posts gone?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
...for the past three months I have been wrapping my head </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
around the "beauty" of relocating an entire household. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have somehow managed to pack up my creativity in one of the boxes.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe its in this one...?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's my attempt at making cardboard look good...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8x_k5xJGj6WfsJfdG_FcQeRiL1WR2_Fx_fFpG8eEHBnpSBn2-eOMPvYZ5Z-U3uFJO28-iKPegEWgPqcgvGXCDkm-8kX0iX8WnOzLf5gSV9naurCWZCO0UX85BThjCf81CbovaU2JOqKo/s1600/box1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8x_k5xJGj6WfsJfdG_FcQeRiL1WR2_Fx_fFpG8eEHBnpSBn2-eOMPvYZ5Z-U3uFJO28-iKPegEWgPqcgvGXCDkm-8kX0iX8WnOzLf5gSV9naurCWZCO0UX85BThjCf81CbovaU2JOqKo/s400/box1.jpg" width="300"></a></div>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To save a little on the extraordinary cost of a cross country move, we are packing everything ourselves...and since DH is already in location,<br>
that means just me. <br>
To make sure it was a task I could manage without getting overwhelmed, <br>
I have been packing 2-3 boxes everyday since March<br>
and purging and selling things. <br>
It has literally become a full time job!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So here's some fun "before" and afters....<br>
<br>
