Every year we get together at Christmas and do a Treasured Friends girlfriend Christmas exchange. It was because of Brenda's store Treasured Friends that we all met.
One year we decided to move it to January so we could enjoy the time together instead of rushing with all the other...

You know when I read Jill's blog today it reminded me of how we all can get overwhelmed with "life" sometimes and on the same day I read it I found myself feeling that same way.
The last few days have included a lot of running and getting things done but yet I felt like I was doing a ton of something but accomplishing nothing.  I was sharing this same feeling today with Joel at work.
