The past few weeks have non stop busy here. My goal was to map out 2018 but as the ideas started flowing, I got too excited to stop.
To help put my thoughts in order, spend time with family and finish up a few projects, we packed the car and headed to the mountains. Basically, my family opted out of shopping on Black Friday to hike Chimney Rock and take in the majestic Hickory Nut Falls. It was the perfect way to disconnect, clear my mind and just breathe.
The views were just fantastic and the dogs did great! Tucker could not make the climb on his own so we carried him in a K9 Sport Sack. I had no idea if he would like it when I bought it but it was perfect. If you are interesting in learning more about the sport sack be sure to check out their site and use my referral coupon for an instant savings.
While on the trip, I was able to finish a quilt for a friend. This quilt was not a birthday gift, for the holidays, or anything like that. I just knew that she loved the fabric and would appreciate something cozy to cuddle under. Honestly, it reminded me that it’s much better to give than recieve. Her expression was so priceless and really warmed my heart.
