It was a cold, cold Halloween. The kids came to the door in costumes with coats, and were rewarded for their determination with sweet treats. I love seeing the what the kids are wearing every year. Some costumes are quite creative.
As the holiday season is ushered in, I’m thinking about how to tidy, organize, and decorate for the gatherings to come. So, today’s theme is “around the house.”
Today's Question(s):
Do you like to keep things (any kind of things; pencils, candies, etc.) handy and easily accessible for times when you need/want them, or do you keep things at a distance so they are out of sight, out of mind? Give us an example if you like.
Bonus Question(s):
When decorating, do you prefer to have symmetry, or do you like to “balance” with asymmetry?
Just for fun:
Do you have a clock you can see if you wake up in the middle of the night?
Do you keep a glass of water at your bedside?
Do you keep a flashlight nearby in case the electricity goes out in the night?
Where do you stash extra rolls of toilet paper?
Do you keep a phone close at hand?
Do you own a whisk?
Do you own a magnifying glass?
Do you have throw pillows?
Do you know where your keys are right now?

I like it both ways. I like things neat and orderly, but also mostly put away. I have a set of "drawers" in a small plastic bin that separates my pencils, pens, and highlighters.
