While the mice are away...

The "cat" will play!

We all need a break sometimes, don't we?

My wonderful mother took the kids for a few hours on New Year's Day. With hubby working, I started my "free time" with a trip to my Starbuck's for a decaf, a cheese and fruit treat and of course a cupcake that I didn't have to share.. with anyone.

Mine! Mine! Mine!

Then I took a few hours, by myself, to get the house back in shape.

I started in my entsy-weensty living room.

And it wouldn't be me if I didn't use the opportunity to completely rearrange things.

It felt great to bring in a fresh new look after the holiday glitz.

I left my pomegranate wreath up...I kind of like it for a bit of color.

Say bye-bye to the paisley fabric on that $20 chair.

I have a luscious tawny brown to put on it.

And I didn't want to put away my flameless candles yet; so I grouped them on a tray on my coffee table.

And put some shredded paper in my favorite nest basket but I am not sure what to put inside of it yet.

I brought out the moss to freshen up the room...

Then yesterday I noticed this on the floor.... hmm....

I think some mice have been doing some playing themselves!

Busted.. ! I am going to look for the little, green fingers!
