Whole lotta things to make from old drawers!

So, I wanted to do a post about the new year with a title of 
"Out With The Old and In With The New!" 
But I am stepping out of the box a bit - 
"In With The Old and Make it New!"
I like the feel of that.

I came across this great site that shows you a bunch of things
you can do with old drawers.
I LOVE the idea of that.




From practical..........



To just plain FUN......



You have got to check it out.

I am going to.

A Special Christmas Poem

I realize that Christmas is long since passed.  But I was taking down my decorations, and....   Well, this poem hangs on my wall and I think it is worth passing on.  I found it printed on a placemat in a restaurant in 1971.  It has stuck with me all these years.  Yes, it will make you think..........




When all the world is silent
On this holiest of nights


In a million beds
The small ones dream
Of Christmasy delights


But some awaken sadly
Their tiny hearts are numb
When they realize
Through tear-filled eyes
That Santa didn't come



A bit of cold and hunger
Are things they understand
But a Christmas without toys
To hold in heart and hand




Means that someone has forgotten
That someone didn't care
That someone failed to listen
To a very special prayer
And oh, it's so very hard
To tell a disappointed tot
Just why she had to be the one
That Santa Clause forgot........
                    - author unknown


Merry Christmas to you all in all the years to come........
