Just Because

Since it's my birthday, I decided that I would blog today just because...

My son just got his licence today. Just because he is licenced to drive doesn't mean that I will not be having anxiety, fear and be holding my breath the entire time that he is gone.

I just got my nose pierced  a few days ago and it is truly driving my boys nuts that I am cooler than they are.

Just last year on this very day, we had a huge blizzard in Colorado and today it is about 80 degrees and JUST beautiful!

I am telling myself on this my 34th birthday that I just need to get off my ass and get in shape.  I am starting Couch to 5K and this time I am going to stick with it.  I have my running shoes, a partner and a whole lotta motivation! I am not waiting until new years to get on with it.  I am committing to this running plan and eating better.

I think I have a cold, UUGH, just in time to go back to work on Monday!

Just have a few moments to myself so I think I will continue my reorganization of my craft room!

Starting Over

I am hoping that third times a charm will apply to my third attempt at keeping up on this blog. As I am approaching a birthday very soon, I have decided to refocus on some of the thing s that I want to do with my life and how I want to spend my time.  Blogging and sharing some of my thoughts craftiness and photos is a part of this refocus.  

The first thing that I want to share is a project designed to Jump start my creativity. I completed it as a part of an online workshop given by Amy Tan. I wasn't sure how I was going to approach the project at first but now that it is done, I am so happy with the result. Once I get over my completely paralyzing fear of my sewing machine, I may try to make one of these cute little books myself.  Thankfully, Amy stitched the first one together for me so I was able to move on from step one.  When putting the book together, I decided to use all of the things that have been piling up in my scraproom that I loved but was never sure what to use them for. 

 I am loving how it turned out imperfect, eclectic and features some of my favorite things. 

Here's to jumping into more creativity and blogging about it along the way.

P.S. Thanks Amy for the inspiration and the fun workshop!
