Why I Get Nothing Done....A Christmas Ode To My Scrap Room

T’was two weeks before Christmas and all thru the house

The cats both lay dozing, ignoring their toy mouse

The decorations are up, all but the tree

Because travel we must - home to Salt Lake City

My husband was locked in his workshop outside

Assembling a toy plane he would soon learn to fly

And I on the couch, my laptop turned on

Wasting time on Pinterest, instead of getting something done

In my craft room down the hall there is such a mess

I do not dare enter for I fear all the stress

There are projects not started and others need finishing

All as my time for shipping is diminishing

Piles of paper lie on the floor

From sales on Black Friday, and online and more

Cricut cartridges are piled over there

And I keep rolling over glitter with my chair

Scraps and leftovers from design team projects

Hey! What are those unidentifiable objects?

And on my sewing table, oh what a fright!

Aren’t those projects there from Halloween night?

And let’s not forget all the fun things I bought

With projects in mind that once I left the store I forgot

Enough Tim Holtz adornments to open a store

And paper from Graphic 45, Imaginisce, Bo Bunny and more

And to make matters worse I have a brand new machine

A Sizzix eClips to add to the scene

Of pure and utter chaos in my little room

Beside my three Cricuts…Surely I’m doomed!

I sit and I wonder would anyone notice

If they got a store bought card this year

Or no card at all

Am I really that hopeless?

So I take a deep breath, and I let out a sigh

And tell myself to make this mess go bye-bye

There are projects to do and fun things to make

And blog posts to write and cookies to bake

And if I should fail, this much I know

Off to Target in search of gift cards I go….
