currently: 10 things
Saturday, November 16, 2013 at 1:00AM 
I have to thank my pal Sandi for turning me on to Ali Edwards CURRENTLY last year. It was a way to share what is really just REAL in your life right now. A way to touch base with our readers without overwhelming them on a daily basis. A little peek into the real us. This year Ali tweaked it to this, and following her and Sandi's lead I am playing along. I used to be really faithful about this stuff. I fell off the wagon. Whatever. Sometimes there just isn't a whole lot worth sharing. I promise to TRY to be better this year. Wish me luck.
1. Loving this new app - Printstagram, by Social Print Studio. It makes printing photos fun again.Has brought me back to my roots a little- scrapbooking with a mixed media twist. Loving the tiny prints. Super cool to make miniature layouts, like the size of baseball cards. Love. Love. Love.
2. Parking myself in the studio each day no matter what. Ten minutes or ten hours makes no difference to me as long as I get in there. It makes me happy, so I need to do it.
3. Creating new things for my etsy store. I have been behind. Life has a way of happening - over and over again, but I am making an effort and with it, great strides.
4. Planning on shopping for a video camera this week. I have THREE workshops planned and ready to film. I just refuse to film one more time with a camera that runs solely on batteries. Yea. No wonder I have only filmed two of the five so far.
5. Collecting eggs daily. A treat to have fresh eggs each day.
6. Learning to build my routine around a new infant. Babysitting three days a week for my granddaughter and loving it. Chaotic schedule and all. I. AM. IN. HEAVEN. I guess I knew I was born to be nothing more than a mother. Having six of your own should prepare you, but the love that gushes forth for that first grandchild is unfathomable.
7. Organizing my paint bins. Because that is what I do. Organize. Over and over again.
8. Watching LOST on Netflix. My friends got me hooked. Thanks guys. I want to do nothing after the kids go to bed but watch 47 episodes of that crazy good show. In the middle of season four and trying to pace myself. It suddenly dawned on me the other day that this was going to come to an end soon. Noooooo.
9. Missing my Mr. His work schedule keeps him away 19 hours a day. That is followed by a few short hours of sleep. So yes I miss him. We miss him. All of us. This has to end soon. I pray daily that the Lord will show him a path that is less consuming.
10. Giving up coffee. At least for the most part. It has been difficult, but rewarding. I am finding that I can live without it afterall. For the most part.

Love it and you. Organizing is one of my favorite activities too. It makes me oddly happy. I guess it is a way to control the parts of my life that can be controlled. I wish you were closer and I could come play in your studio with you and holdf Lincoln while I was there!
I wish I were closer too. Soon I will have a way to see you more often. Soon. I know my prayers will be answered soon. xo
