>I’m rather uninspired today. Perhaps it is because there was so much to be done today. My son got a haircut…I had to find a shirt to wear…housework…made my daughter some flower bows as options to wear..had to clear up my memory cards and do some basic maintenance on my cameras….Now just waiting on my husband to get home so we can drive to his mothers for the weekend. His sister is getting married tomorrow. I am hoping the day goes by smoothly for everyone, myself included (I am the photographer). So I will end todays blog with this:

>First off let me start by saying this: I am not a crafty person at all. But golly gee Wally, I sure do want to be. So that doesn’t stop me from trying. I would almost say that I am craft challenged. No matter how hard I try it just never quite works out for me. I’ll admit it. I am green with envy with people like Martha Stewart. Who needs to make gift wrap out of an empty toilet paper roll anyway!

Anyway, on to my little craft project idea that I got off of Pinterest. I plan to do several crafts that I see on Pinterest. This is just Project #1. I am proud of my first try results even though it’s not perfect. Maybe just maybe after the 3rd or 4th try I can get it right.

Hobby Lobby has got to be one of my favorite stores. If not my #1 favorite store. I can go in there and spend at least an hour just walking around looking at stuff. I went there Monday to get my supplies for my Pinterest project that I previously posted about. While there I saw so many more projects that I want to do and things I just want to buy just because. I found a pretty nice clock that was on on cleareance for $17. I didn’t get it and kinda regretting it since it would have went perfect in my living room, but I just might snatch it up if it is still there later this week. Hobby Lobby is definitely going to be where I spend alot of time. I plan on doing lots of crafts.

>I’m a serious book fanatic. I love books and firmly believe that you can NOT have too many books. (though my husband feels much differently about that) I am always looking for new books to read. I actually have quite a few that I haven’t read yet. I just like having them as back up.

I’ve loved to read for as long as I can remember. My mom had joined a book club for kids when I was younger or something and I remember getting the books in the mail. But my real obsession started when I was in 10th grade and had to do a book report. I went to my schools library and picked up the first one that looked interesting. Thus beginning my love affair with books. That book was Loves Music, Loves to Dance by Mary Higgins Clark.

I loved it!! And I never stopped reading her books. I admit I am definitely behind on reading her books, have a few in my unread “library”, but I will definitely be finishing them. She is definitely on my list as one of my FAVORITE authors!!
