My sister Denise arrived from Denver late Sunday night to spend the week helping with client Christmas set-ups. Each year we do approximately 20 such gigs for those fortunate enough to book early.
After a grueling airport experience, we started bright and early Monday morning at Lani's house(having had a refreshing 2 1/2 hours of sleep). We couldn't have asked for a more pleasant start to our week! We hadn't been working more than a couple of hours before Lani announced that it was lunchtime--and we're not talking Taco Bell. Our sweet hostess/client had a beautiful sit-down lunch catered for us! We ate in her elegantly set dining room, using Holiday Lenox china and sparkling lead crystal goblets. Talk about graciousness and style!

The finished mantle is definitely a sophisticated touch to a lovely living room.

The inside entry, downstairs and upstairs dining rooms, exterior--heck, even the restrooms--get a touch of holiday glam and sparkle.

A refreshing 2 1/2 hours of sleep... I really don't know how you do it! But then, having Denise around makes anything more fun, even sleep deprivation, I suppose.
I love that your client served you a catered lunch! And sent you home with leftovers -- perhaps she knew you wouldn't take time to eat otherwise.
Wow...it sounds like you both are flying through a sleep-deprived but Christmas-filled week! That's good that Mom could come out to help you, and ShamWow on the catered lunch. It's Thursday--hope you make it to the end of the week in one piece!
I love it that Denise gets to fly in and work with you like this, what a great way to spend time together while working!
I don't know how you function at all, it seems like you never get a full night's sleep. I'd be a grumpy, headache-filled wreck if I did that.
