Finding the Perfect Mix.

Yesterday I was looking for some rainclouds because I was feeling like staying indoors and organizing things… today I feel like some sunshine because I want to go outside, walk the dog, and take some pictures (which I haven’t done in a while). But God laughed, and gave me the opposite. Eric and I sat inside yesterday on a sunny (ish) day and organized. Oh how good it feels to be organized – to have a fresh look!
I realized last night how much scrapbooking paper I Actually have… and it’s so disorganized that I sit down to work and huff because “I have no supplies” when in reality I just can’t find what I want easily so I settle for whatever I can find. So, I sat at my scrapbooking [hole] desk and separated my 4x6 paper into prints, Solids… squares… circles… plaids… floral… Holiday (in descending order starting with New years)… etc… (yes, I am that anal retentive) Then the 8x8… then the 12x12 I have a LOT of paper. Now to get pictures printed…that’s a different post altogether.
Eric worked on getting his things in order and he went through a “junk bin” that’s been sitting up top of Aquaman’s kennel since forever and we tossed trash… lots of trash.
I’m having a hard time deciding what to prioritize recently. I want to work on so many things all at the same time. I have awesome things to be trying to prioritize, and I’m looking forward to finding the balance – which may be one of my “something new” goals. I have never balanced a TON of things.
I want to be fully vested in everything I do; however, I need to find space in my brain to be partially vested in everything and fully vested when I’m actually working on it; that’s where the balance problems come into play.
So here we are… on the brink of Relay season, I just became an elected member of the Call Committee for our new pastor at GLC, I am (always) a youth advisor, and I want my brain to forever be thinking about vacation; to Vegas with Mariya or vacation somewhere – anywhere with Eric. Oh and then there’s the ‘hobbies’… I want time for scrapbooking, time with Eric, and time to play with my photography. I want this perfect blend of everything - a girl can dream....
Happy Wednesday :)

The Wreath

It all started with Pinterest - yes, that rant about Pinterest still stands, but this was inspired from there. I wanted to recreate a wreath of bulbs, I hate buying wreaths since they expire year after year, this one will hang in my home for a LONG time, possibly till I die... that is how much I love how it turned out! So, being my crafty (and somewhat frugal) self, I set off to find the materials to make it. Finding that bulbs are not quite as cheap as you'd expect, I found them for 80% off.  This wreath, at cost would have run me about $125. ACK! I made it for under 35%! So pretty! So pleased! Many have asked me to make one for them - my answer - you buy the bulbs and materials and I'll glue it together!

My Happy Place

I have a lot of happy space in my world - but the happiest of all is Marvista Park in Normandy Park, just a few short miles from my house. It's the one place where I can go, be a kid, and then feel completely refreshed afterwards. Vacation is coming... T minus a few weeks now, and I feel like I've earned the crap out of it this year! But until then, a weekly trip to my happy place with the furry one should do it!  I love his little feet trying to take on the leaves! So cute.

8 Years Ago Today...

 8 Years ago today... I was in the Kent/Des Moines Park and Ride puking in the bushes because I was SO Nervous about my first day at KMS. I didn't know If I could hack it in the big city. I didn't know a thing about being a Receptionist, and I didn't even know what a Broker/Dealer was, but I swallowed the lump in my throat and decided to take it head on. I've learned SO MUCH - an Immeasurable amount of life and work lessons from my 8 years at KMS, and I could muse all day long about the Farm Fresh 22 year old you see to the left and how naive she was. KMS has given me a gift of balancing a work life and a home life and still being able to give my 110% when I'm at work without losing my balance. When I walked in the door this morning, my co-workers had created this celebration from me, and after they arrived, it got bigger with gifts, and notes, and cards, and decorations. They wanted to celebrate me, and my achievements here, though If they would have kn...
