Leaving for Pennsylvania

Within the hour, I'll be leaving for my Christmas visit with family and friends in Pennsylvania. This means dragging out the winter coat, gloves, hat, etc... that I use much less frequently here in North Carolina.

I'm always so optimistic when I pack. I load up on creative supplies while planning to use a portion of my down time to act on the inspirations that have been dancing around my mind. Inevitably, most of the supplies remain unused. I love just spending time with the people I love. On these visits, everything else seems to take a backseat to just being there. I wouldn't have it any other way; but still I pack...
