This is a technique I learned well over a decade (+) ago. Forgot about it and now I'm obsessed again.

1. & 2. Grab a magazine. This is a travel guide I picked up at a welcome center yesterday.

3. Use packing tape and tape over pretty pictures/graphics.

4. Soak in water. No set time. I usually put them in the water and forget till I walk past them again.

5. Take out of the water and gently rub/ remove the paper backing and let dry.

Plan NOW for Your Post-Holiday Recharge

The holiday season is coming, and we all know how quickly the shopping, cooking, decorating, entertaining, and endless to-do lists can take over.

So while you’re planning for everyone else… **make a plan for YOU, too.**

January is the perfect time to step away from the holiday hustle, slow down, and recover with a weekend at Val’s Place Craft Retreat.

🌿 Time to recharge
💕 Time with your friends
🎨 Time to be creative
☕ Time to simply relax and enjoy yourself

Val’s Place sleeps 10 guests, with all twin beds and a full kitchen. Each crafter gets their own 6-ft table, craft mat, light, and power source, giving you plenty of space to settle in and enjoy your project.

You spend so much time making the holidays special for everyone else: now is the time to plan your reward.

Put a January craft retreat at Val’s Place on your calendar—and give yourself something wonderful to look forward to after the holidays.

Plan now. Recharge later. You deserve it.

Some Mondays I'm full of get up and go. This is not that kind of Monday 🤣

Got another door quote and...ugh.
Thinking I might add a few plants to the floral garden.
Debating how many days it might take to paint the deck and how does that match up with bookings/weather
And is it time for new dishes. I'm down 2 plates (to be expected) so replace all or just some.

What are you working on today?
