Hello all my Crafty Friends!


First of all, sorry for not having a project to post yesterday or already today. Hopefully I can get some creative things happening in my craft room later today for that.


We've gotten moved into our house, and are probably 80% done with unpacking, organizing, and setting up furniture. The only things that are left are finishing up Bonnie's room with furniture, decorating, organizing; getting the Tonal installed at our new place in the exercise room, organizing and finish unpacking things that stay in the garage, and a major part for me... getting my craft room unpacked and organized.


I've been putting that off because well, other things are more important, and mainly because THE ELECTRICITY IN THERE DOESN'T WORK! .... deep breaths.... breathe in the good.... push away the bad.... give me a moment.....

For some reason plugging in anything in that room trips the breaker. That room. Not a closet, or an outdoor light... THAT room. //sigh//

The electrician came out yesterday. Couldn't find the problem, so switched out the breaker thinking that may do the trick. It did. For a few hours. When I got up this morning and went in there to FINALLY unpack and organize, I turned on my laptop to check my email first.... no power. Yep - breaker is tripped again.

So I put in another call.  I told Tom I was unpacking my craft room anyway. I'm not waiting anymore. We've been here 11 days and it's killing me to have that mess of boxes in there, plus the fact that I can't get to my stuff to play.  Spoiled? Yes. I admit that. But considering my crafting things have been packed for a little over a month now since I scheduled things to post in advance and packed up that long before we moved, that means I haven't had craft therapy for sooooooooooooo long.



If you've read this far...
GOOD NEWS!!!!

My Paper Pumpkin came Tuesday!

Camping Anyone?

Hey, Friends!!


I love camping, although we haven't been in years. We used to go all the time when the kids were growing up - meaning 2-3 times a month on the weekends during the school year. I loved it!
