My Chaotic Realm

Yes, I missed last week. That means I missed my accountability. But I have a really great reason...SHEILA WAS HERE! My Bestie from Texas comes every July 4th so we had a great 4 days. Dinner @ Speckle T's, fireworks on the beach in Long Beach, thrift shopping all down the coast, live music @ Finally First Friday, crab festival Saturday, gospel hour @ Darwell's Sunday before returning her back to NOLA to catch her flight. Last night was the 1st meeting of a book club I am moderating...the conversation was enlightening and terrific. Okay...accountability: #1) participating in my art group's "Birthday Club" where we send a handmade item to those celebrating birthdays. MET #2) 2019's weekly scrapbook layout challenge over at the Scraptacular Cropping Club MET #3) the 52 Weeks Being Me challenge over at the Words of Me Project Met, and it is getting better as I get into it. The last couple of challenges have been to choose a word to finish the year with base...

Today I have been cutting and measuring and cutting some more. Getting the supplies ready for my workshop next week. So far I have put together "Make & Take" kits for one project and 1 card per attendee. Took more time than I thought it would but I think that is because I sat down and made one of both as a demo piece. Here is the card project sample... I also made migas for breakfast, fixed a rosary for a friend at church AND finished editing the monthly newsletter for the Harrison County Gem & Mineral Society. It is now at the printers for those who choose not to have it emailed. Those who chose email have gotten it in their inboxes already. So, now for a break, maybe some popcorn. Not sure yet what I am cooking for dinner tonight and I have to cook all 3 meals for work tomorrow. Sheeesh
