I would love to give her credit for getting my mental wheels spinning.... If I figure out where I read it I'll come back and add her blog name..
In the meantime I'll carry on with my own story:)
Three months ago I was discussing this years holiday theme with my daughter. We do this every year at the end of summer.. Let me say in advance that YES, I know smart, thrifty folks use the same items they had the year before and just add to it.. Guess that means I'm not too smart or as thrifty as I'd like to think I am....
I'm a Christmas Baby for those of you who dont know and this is a very special time for me. I have, since my teenage years , done the holiday decorating and I still love doing it. each year is a new theme- last years was Santas ...
So we discussed it and she said " whatever happened to all those musical instruments we used years ago"
I answered that I HOPED they were still in the storage building in a container but I'd have to go out there and check.... As of that Moment, the Musical theme was chosen. I knew I'd be covering boxes with musical paper as I always add tiny gift boxes to me tree, regardless of what theme I have chosen...
It was about 3 weeks later when all the catalogs started to arrive and what to my wondering eyes did I see??

Will I use be making and using Match Boxes- NO ..
Yep, musical everything lol... paper- ornaments- wreaths you name it ,, it has music paper and msuical ornaments on it... So of course it'll look like I'm following the latest design ideas of the stores...
I wonder if I leave the tarnish on all those poor old ornaments if that'll prove I really did do this theme long ago and will be using it in different ways again.. Nah,, probably not..
I have to wonder if ideas float up into the sky and drop on folks lol.. Ideas are where everything begins and they are strong powerful things, so maybe they do....
Maybe I'll stand outside today and another beautiful idea will bop me on the head....
Happy Thursday~!!!
