This time of year seems especially boring after the myriad of festivities during the holiday season. The only thing to think about during these cold days is…taxes.
But wait – doing tax work this time of year makes things less boring for me. I’ve been getting my business spreadsheets perfected so I can submit the 2015 sales taxes due now, and also submit the numbers to my tax man (Husby). Comparing income and expenses inspires me to get ready for the 2016 craft season. I want to organize Craftland. It’s time to order supplies. It’s time to build inventory. It’s a new page in the continuing adventures of Auntie B.
So what if it’s cold outside? I don’t have to go outside to melt wax. So what if I’m snowed in? As long as I have bottle caps I’ll have plenty to do inside.
Taxes? They’re an inevitable pain. Winter? It’s cold and dark and colorless. Lots of people curse both taxes and wintertime, but both motivate me to get going on a new year of crafting. I guess that’s what people refer to as the silver lining.

What a great attitude! I haven’t even begun to think of taxes yet…good for you!
2015 sales taxes have to be submitted by the end of January, so I need to make sure everything is in order. Gives me great incentive to get ALL of my tax preparations done early!
I love winter for reading and art, it is hot and sweaty here and creating art is the last thing on my mind. Happy crafting Sara.
Thanks, Kath – doing my best! Enjoy the warm weather!
