Well, time got away....

It seems my last blog post was May 13th. How does time go by so fast??? I did not do an "end of the month" check-in. I guess my Birthday was more important, LOL. And I got to travel home finally and visit family & friends :-) Way more important than a blog post. Just to stay on track though, I am going to post for May and June (since this month is over halfway done already and B U S Y). Monthly goals are: #1) Follow my budget in order to pay off ALL debt by this year's end. Moving along ... Big Blue and I are trying to stay on top of things and update the plans for repayment. #2) Create one piece of art each month... an 8x8 canvas, a journal or booklet, a mixed media piece, just something artistic. This did NOT happen this month... just the art for swaps I am in. Like I said above... been busy! #3) Participate in my art group's "Birthday Club" where we send a handmade card & ATC to those celebrating birthdays. Done and mailed thru=ough June. #4) 2020's weekly scrapbook layout challenge over at the Scraptacular Cropping Club. I have completed 1 through 24 and am current! #5) the Monthly lottery challenge in my ATC Art Group on IO Groups. I missed May (the month went by so fast!) and June's theme is vegetables, which doesn't inspire me so, no.

What a weekend it was!!

Image
What a terrific weekend I had!! Friday I worked and then met with the gals @ the LBCoC for arts & crafts night and taught the masking/sponging background technique. It was a blast... was going to make 3 different pieces but only got to the one, they were having so much fun! We also did a "punches swap" where folks brought their paper punches and cardstock and then we placed all the punches on a table and punched shapes from our paper from punches we dont own. Great way to share our supplies. Saturday was a fun filled sports event followed by the last meeting before Harrison County's 35th annual gem & mineral show and then on to a fantastically beautiful wedding for Casey & Bill. Sunday was off to a great start with LOTS accomplished (including brunch at Waffle House) before 11am and then a firepit created with red lava rock. Worked Monday and now have today off for all my errands.. let me leave you with a picture of our squirrel feeder as I head out the door...

Paper Crafting Space #2

Image
Well, have made some samples for my card class on the 18th of this month but don't want to spoil the surprise so will post another picture of my current art space... this is the area behind me as I sit and craft looking out over our front yard... and yes, I am well aware that I have an addiction so just hush. At least the chaos is a tad bit easier to find, now that it has been sorted through. I am still tweaking the layout of particular items as I get settled into the space. Moving the bins around, etc. Keep crafting and stay inky!
