Recently...

So I did one item on the "Projects" Project, but I don't have pictures...mostly because I forgot to take a picture.
I switched out one of the scrapbook album covers of the Paris trip collection for a new scrapbook album that I had picked up.
The new album has a picture of the Eiffel Tower on it, so I felt it was fitting to use for the Paris books.
I would have liked to use that cover for the portion of the trip that we actually visited the landmark; it just seemed natural that way, but that book has a photo on the cover of us in front of the tower which I really like, so instead the cover with the icon was used for a different one...I hope that's not too hard to follow.
But either way, I crossed something off the list! Yay! Of course, I feel I should work on another item since that one wasn't "technically" a craft project, but I will not think too much about that.

I did work on a craft item yesterday; but again - I forgot to take a picture! ??!!
I have got to get out of that habit now!

Two of our friend's from our beloved geek group will be marrying each other this October and I have happily volunteered to work on decorations and all around helping with the wedding.
It is a fall theme with wonderful warm colors mixed with gold accents.
I made a small garland of leaves that were free hand cut from felt in seven different colors of browns, goldenrod, reds, and orange.
I stitched them together with dark brown DMC embroidery floss, including veins. The idea is to make large garlands that we can drape from the terrace.
It looks like I will be making approximately 900 felt leaves or more between now and October.
I will definitely be working on that a lot in the next few months.
Another thing to keep updated on...perhaps I should make a widget for that...tee hee.

A little later today I will be meeting with Sonja; one of my fellow sisters from the civic sorority that I am in, she has hired me to work on memory books for her three daughters that will consist of letters that Sonja and her husband wrote to each other during his time in the service.
I am excited to be doing this for her, and I am so honored that she would ask me.

Along with those projects; and my ongoing "Projects", I will also be planning a "By The Sea" Alice in Wonderland Tea Party for the geeks, and a big going away party for one of our geeks who is moving out of state, sadly.
And I am sure that by next month I will probably be on two planning committees for sorority, for the convention that we will be hosting in 2014.

So my days will be full of craft activities and planning for a while, which I am very happy for!!
I will have to remember to get out of the chair and walk around every once in a while...so very important!!

I will also need to make sure I make time to see friends and go beyond my four walls! :D

'Til Next Time... HUGS!!
