Taking it all down

Taking Christmas decorations down is a little sad for me. It is such a happy and family filled time of the year and packing them all away generally signifies going back to work as well!! So I keep mine up as long as possible and hold out until the very last minute. And so I will do the same this year and by the time it all comes down I will be putting up some bits and pieces for Valentines Day- now that will make me happy : ).

On another note as an organizer all those little white (Ikea) boxes lined up on our cabinet make me very very happy. This is an Ikea cabinet as well and we love it. It provides so much storage and the top and bottom of the cabinet are used for all of our wedding china, large plates and serving dishes, vases and china Flynn has been given. We we assembled it we were a little stumped as to what to put in the middle and so little white boxes it was. They are a great place to store keepsakes, candles and notebooks etc.
