I have not crafted in weeks.  Weeks, I say!  And I’m a bit rusty.  I had to make a project last night for a blog hop coming up, and it did not turn out great.  At all.  The receiver of said project will love it.  But me?  I am not proud of it.  A lot of changes at work have me in a funk.  And when I am feeling good, now that the weather has turned to the better, we are out and about.  Or working on home projects.  We are at that stage where the kids have stopped writing on the walls, and splattering the place with spaghetti from their high chair, and now it’s time to make this house pretty.  Paint some walls.  Fix the doorbell.  Put up pictures in the hallway.  I bought frames when I was on maternity leave almost 9 years ago and they have been sitting on my husband’s nightstand since then.  Point is – crafty time has not been abundant.  And I miss it.  Maybe this week, or over the weekend.  But for now, you’ll find me out spreading my wings.  Have a great week!

This morning we hit the new Boise Farmer’s Market downtown, and then the Capital City Public Market.  Now it’s off to picture day for soccer, followed by the game.  And then it’ll be time for mamma to get crafty.  Have a great day!

I love me some Friday.  The one day of the week that I really try not to stay late at the office.  Kiss the week goodbye and get outta there.  It’s been a doozy of a week, folks.
But on the good news front – - liver biopsy results were OK.  No change since my last one.  So we’re calling that a win.  Repeat in 4 years.  Done, and done.  And thanks for all the good wishes xoxo

Just a simple card today; CAS in my book.  Have a great Friday!

Up today is another card I made with pretty patterned papers and chipboard from My Mind’s Eye.  Sequins and washi are completing almost everything I’m making these days.  I love sequins.  Reminds me of the (late) ’70s when I was taking ballet and tap and had all those fun frilly girly costumes with tulle, and big purple sequins.  So fun.  Thanks for stopping by today!

Happy Monday! — and thanks for the well-wishes on Friday.  I’ll be on pins & needles waiting for the doctor’s office to call.  She said if it’s good news, they’ll call and say there’s been no change, or it’s improved, and that I don’t have to come in.  But if it’s bad news, they’ll call with an appointment for me to come in.  *fingers crossed*

Here’s a fun little wordy card I made for my husband.  My stash of cards for him is growing, so I reckon it’s time for some of those just-because cards to be left in his truck while he’s at work.

A little misspelling on this card.  And I get so irritated when I see this on papercrafting supplies.  I really do {heart} My Mind’s Eye, and purchase almost every single one of their collections.  But they really are the worst when it comes to misspellings.  Unforgettable is with 2 ts.  Double and triple check, people!
