Crafty and geekery.

Ah... So. I love craft books ! They give me quick flashes of inspiration when I am having "artistic constipation".
Here are some recent buys for me.

hmm?

So on top of a being a slacker I am bored with the design of my page so in the next few weeks I will be messing with it. So heads up if you like or hate something . But basically I am just going to try and keep in a "geek" light of page design.. or is it that I am a geek because I care about the page design?
Let's see the end of the school year is fast approaching and I am once again planning my daughter's birthday party. This year's theme is Fairies and my brother has graciously offered up his back yard for the setting of fairy land. However the trick for me this year I am trying to do this on a budget and as Eco friendly as possible. So for starters the plates will be fallen palm and sugar cane and the utensils bamboo. I am going to sew the cloth napkins . So pretty excited about this. Maybe I'll photograph some sewing and crafting projects.
As for now here's a picture of Morgynnchan's hand made "space invader"

I am a slacker

December

And the Grinch, with his Grinch-feet ice cold in the snow, stood puzzling and puzzling, how could it be so? It came without ribbons. It came without tags. It came without packages, boxes or bags. And he puzzled and puzzled ’till his puzzler was sore. Then the Grinch thought of something he hadn’t before. What if Christmas, he thought, doesn’t come from a store. What if Christmas, perhaps, means a little bit more.

Thanksgiving.

A day late in my post for this.

I give thanks everyday.
I am thankful for my Family in how we all pull together at any time or need for each other.
My fantastic daughter who has shown me many things throughout her life. How to be amazed at what most would consider the mundane, How to laugh even at inopportune times and How to see beauty in everything.
My friends who are always on my team even when I'm not.
