Good Morning!

Today is my birthday! Happy birthday to me, lol. OMG, I am getting so old. And you know how I know I’m getting old? My body keeps fighting with me. One day I might feel fantastic and the next day, it’s like my body decided to go on strike or something. And when the temperatures drop (like they have been lately) my body goes through these changes. Years ago when we had a big snow fall here, I fell off the back steps from the ice on them. I landed on my ass and I think I cracked my tail bone because now whenever it rains or it gets cold, my back hurts like crazy.

And these days, it’s not only my back but also my hands and my feet hurt sometimes too. I guess from all the years of walking so much and crafting with my hands does make a difference later in life. When I lived in AZ I would strap one of my kids in a stroller and walk from one place to another. Once I walked from Phoenix to Glendale in a day. I would do stuff like that almost everyday too. And it’s crazy to think how you did things in the past that you would never do today.

Anyway, just thinking about how old I am today. I guess birthdays will do that to a person. I hope you have a wonderful day today! I’m going to try to have one myself and see how that goes. Thanks for stopping by and hugs,

Crafting Again

So, winter is a good time to sit inside where it’s warm and do some crafting. The past week I made 4 new journals. Below are previews and listed from left to right are the following;  An altered book journal, a flip-flop journal, an accordion journal and a one signature Valentine kitty theme journal.

journals I made

Yup, I’ve been pretty busy crafting and I’m loving every minute of it, lol. Oh, and I have some old packaging from a club cracker box and thought I would make a journal out of that too. I love recycling packaging from trash like that and they can make some great covers for journals too. When I get a chance, I will show you some of the other journals I created using food packaging too.

Anyway, just thought I’d show you what I’ve been up to lately. Of course I am still making tags for my online group too. But in-between doing that, I’ve been making journals and crocheting too. Got to keep busy these days because time is starting to fly by and I’d hate to wake up one morning and think, wow, I could have done this or that but I never did. I’m sure the world is full of should have’s from people all over the place. The trick is, don’t be one of them.

Thanks for stopping by and hugs,
