I have tables set up, supplies and treasures at hand, and am able to spend time playing happily with my various paintings, musings, and projects of all sorts. It is a dream come true that has taken years to accomplish. <br />
I think what really kicked it into action was having the "Root 16 Garden Club" join me there to glue together our little garden ornaments last month.<br />

I have started setting monthly goals for myself and it has proven to work well. Last month was "finish the laundry room" and I got the linoleum ordered and the contractor put it down, I purchased and had delivered the new washer and dryer, my son painted the walls and I dealt with the bins and boxes of items that had been stored on the walls. I am still putting things away and finding new ways to arrange things, but I am also loving my new washer and dryer!<br />
This month is make it a habit to go to the craft barn every day or evening and do one thing to progress; that should be easy and fun!Bonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00777383534819900640noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-728375158715112008.post-7742584235661219202009-11-20T16:43:00.001-05:002009-11-20T16:44:37.722-05:00Why didn't that work?<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTxQ6Y1rSMYE3y-OOhwnGyTDObldd5Qxvq_EIFN8L-7QTKO1I2uSZO5JBq-4Mhnrxy_XDpRd02dGlf90mILGPwnQMzzGnXmlJ3IJHYBQ0MCVsWzw7XbCaW_L3RKb-tVsm9RCRct7dAAr-p/s1600/Bon_WAPREVIEW.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5406304973247404386" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTxQ6Y1rSMYE3y-OOhwnGyTDObldd5Qxvq_EIFN8L-7QTKO1I2uSZO5JBq-4Mhnrxy_XDpRd02dGlf90mILGPwnQMzzGnXmlJ3IJHYBQ0MCVsWzw7XbCaW_L3RKb-tVsm9RCRct7dAAr-p/s320/Bon_WAPREVIEW.JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><div>I tried to put a photo in and it was too big I can't find out what size they should be anywhere.

Life has gotten the best of me and I have been...busy! I know I know, to blog is to live. But, one must eat too. My involvement with 3Scrapateers has kept me busy too, and I love every minute of it! <br />I will be involved next with the new Christmas Around the World kit which is a huge collaboration of designers, all putting together goodies in a FREE kit which 3Scrapateers will also be creating for. How am I involved? The same way I am at 3Scrapateers; by creating scraplets or other items with the design team items, and using those scraplets to both advertise and offer free samples of what is to come.<br />I will post some updates and links here as it progresses.Bonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00777383534819900640noreply@blogger.com0
