No Time to be Crafty!

Well, I'm hoping that's about to end actually. It's taken some adjustments, but I'm finally settling into a routine with the new job. I'm six months in and I really like it. At first, it was exhausting, but slowly but surely I've managed to get used to getting up in the mornings again.

I have nothing crafty to show right now, but definitely check back. I have my first opportunity to create a scrapbook for someone other than myself! I took some of my scrapbooks to work, and one of my coworkers "hired" me on the spot to create a scrapbook for her 18-month-old daughter. I've very excited because I get to use girlie colors and embellishments. With a little boy, it's mostly been primary colors or "boy" colors, so it'll be exciting to do something different.

I'm also trying to talk myself into picking up a paintbrush again. I'm waiting for a Michael's coupon so I can purchase a canvas and paints, and we'll see what happens!

You really have to work a little harder to make time for the things you love when you're working full time and also taking care of a 6-year-old, but I'm really blessed with such a great kid. He was chosen as his school's good citizen and was on the school's television program this morning. In 5K they have what they call centers where the children participate in different activities. When asked what his favorite center was, he said ART! Made his Mommie proud, he did!
