My Office Tour

I know a lot of you have been following my Trippin' with Holly and Susan videos.

(If you haven't caught them, they're all on YouTube. You can catch up there and follow me so you don't miss future videos.)

I'm happy about this series of videos. They're my chance to invite you into my office! We've lived in this house for fourteen years. When me moved in, I had to downsize my office.  But Himself (my husband) felt bad about my small workspace and got me the most beautiful built-in bookshelves. So while it's small, it's super functional. I love it there. I hope you stop in for a visit and keep and eye out Mondays and Fridays. We'll be in my office for a few week. After that, we're heading out to The Cottage!

Check it out.  And when you're done, share your traditions. And we'd love to hear if you have any topics you'd like us to talk about in an upcoming episode!

Sláinte!

Holly

Monday Glee!

Since my kids started school years ago, I've loved Mondays!  After loud, chaotic weekends, Monday is a moment of ahhh.  It's quiet.  It's hot coffee.  It's the newspaper.

 It's Glee.
Today's Glee is even greater because I turned a book in on Friday.  So, I know your next question is, what do you do when you've finally turned in a book?  Marvelous vacay?  Day at the spa?

Uh, I cleaned my office.  When I'm in the midst of a book, I'll confess, the office tends to suffer the most.  The rest of the house I keep up with, but that office...well, there's a corner of my desk that tends to be the file-pile.  It's the place where everything waits for me.

 I posted pics on FB afterward of my desk, but I got a couple notes from people who wanted to see the rest of the office.  So, here are more pictures.

When we moved here nine years ago, I lost a lot of office space.  It didn't bother me as much as it bothered my husband.  He had a master carpenter come by to build the two walls of shelves for me.  It really maximized the space.  And really, that is a husband who knows his stuff.  Some women might swoon over diamonds or pearls.  But give a bookworm shelves.  I adore the man!

A few points to notice in my pictures.  That elephant on the sewing table in the middle picture?  My daughter covets it and keeps trying to talk me out of it.  I get that.  Ganesh was my mom's and I loved it.  She gave it to me as a gift.  Thanks again, Mom!

That big painting over Ganesh?  That's a Pino original from my first book for Precious Gems.  Still loved it.  I do identify with a heroine who wears holy jeans and flannel shirts!  The closet door and what little wall space that's left has other covers, as well as awards.  All in all, I adore my office...but I adore it most when it's cleaned!

Wishing you all Monday Glee!
