Well, it certainly has been awhile since I've had a chance to post out here.  I've been crazy busy with all my club projects.  I think I can see the light at the end of the tunnel on the cookbook, now. I don't have much to go.  The Tea for Two workshop is over.  It was really one of the hardest projects for me to figure out and cut, but we all survived it.  A couple of glitches along the way on Saturday, but over-all, I think we did ok.

If  I could just get a few solid days of work in my craft-room, I would be in good shape (notice I said "days", not nights.  I already "do nights").  I just can't seem to get in there and stay there during the day without constant interruptions.  You know, every day interruptions like we have to eat and have clean clothes, and visit sick relatives, and clean house, and you know the "rest of the story". Those of you old enough, will recognize these words as the closing words of a well known radio commentator by the name of Paul Harvey.  Always a story, usually with a happy ending or something to ponder and reflect upon.

Ponder and reflect upon.  That's exactly what I need to do.  In my craft-room with ink and stamps.  What would I do with one whole week, to create anything I want?  Something new and abstract, or old and vintage?  Complete opposites.  Or practice layered coloring techniques with my Copic markers. I took and flunked Copic 101, three times.  I took Copic Skin and Hair and didn't do as badly in that class.  If I don't use it soon though, I will definitely forget it.  That's what I would do!  I would color for one solid week! (and CUT out the pictures because I love to cut almost as much).  What a "vacation" that would be.!

Vacation... so far no plans.  It's our 25th anniversary this summer, and the "dream" we had just isn't going to come to fruition, for many reasons.  Things just aren't working for us to do what we wanted.  We are starting to think of "Plan B".  Will we always think of it as "Plan B"?  Still working on this one.  In the end, we will be together and that's all that really matters....

Goodbye from blog land, until next time... take care everyone!
