Snow. How can it be snow time already??
I guess I'd better transform my nice, neat (ha!) summer entryway back into the hot mess that is my winter entryway.
Away go the spring coats, and all the hoodies the children seem to think are necessary to leave at the front door.
This is really only a small amount that lives in my teeny tiny entryway. And somehow, those chewed up mitts of Blade's managed to miss the spring toss out earlier this year. Perhaps the worst part of this all is that I pre-wrote part of this post, without the pictures, as I didn't have anything done yet. It was just on my mind that I had better dig out the winter stuff, after I had to send the kids to school today in their fall coats and the only little skinny finger gloves I could find. And then, you know, I actually had to do it, since I had a post partially written with absolutely no pictures, because I was still in my pajamas sitting at my computer waiting for my coffee to be done. Which turned into me sorting out summer clothes to go into the donation bag, deciding I need baskets for Storm's sock drawer, eyeing the mess in my basement of left-over Halloween stuff that hasn't been put on Kijiji yet (and promptly going back upstairs for a coffee rather than dealing with it), realizing I still haven't bought the paint for the basement den, let alone painted it yet.
Forced ambition. Nothing good comes out of it. Back to the stuff I actually did get done....
Out came the glove organizer and baskets of hats, scarves and neck warmers.
Oh Winter, how I loathe thee.

Gift Tags
Today started out with me spotting some free gift tag printouts on the web. Which is better than how yesterday started, with the doorbell ringing, me stumbling out of bed bleary-eyed to face the by-law officer who would kindly like to remind me to move my van for street cleaning. Awesome.
Anyways, we needed new gift tags this year for our re-usable cloth gift bags. I usually use stickers or just cut out old cards and write on the back, but since I seen this free tag printout I thought I'd use those. So I cut down some Christmas card stock so it would fit into my printer and then as I went to print them out I noticed all the little pictures Storm has drawn and saved to my computer lately.
The girl loves her some Paint.
And I thought, hey I could print those out and make myself some tags!
So cute.
Then I spotted the picture file I have saved of Storm's name and words that describe her, that is waiting for me to paint for her room. And I thought, "hmm I should use Wordle and write out a bunch of words that describe all of the kids and print those out as tags too!"
Easily distracted and way-laid. That's me.
And then I did this:
I mean, why not make them re-usable! As I got started on this, I realized that I was down to my last two sheets of 8x11 laminating plastic. But I had bought a mixture starter package on clearance at one point and it had a bunch of different sizes in it, including business card and luggage tag sizes. So I just used up all the random sizes and then cut them down. Plus I made sure to put one of each kid's names into a luggage tag so if they ever need one, they can just use these.
All the cutting. Gah!
How cute are those?!
Now, what was I really supposed to be doing today?!
Hmm. A shower might be a good start.

Manny from Ice Age, Scooby Doo and a Christmas tree too!
