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.

Merry Craftmas!!

When I was little Mom had one of these to put out every Christmas. I remember her tossing it out having fixed its hot glue after every warm summer in the shed, she wasn't particularly attached to it but I was. Having collected enough baby food jars (finally) I put it together this weekend! Looks just like I remember it and now it is sitting in my closet awaiting its debut next weekend!
