Miss Me?

 I've Been Everywhere Man

I know, where have I been? Underground, off the grid. Truthfully, on the sofa most of the time. Chilly weather, under the weather. But I did not forget about you, in fact sometimes I talked to you, you know like writing a blog in my head. Then I just didn't make it off the sofa to the computer to put it in writing. 

I have been playing with crafty ideas and products, making a mess. A mess is a sign of a creative mind. My favorite crafty days are when I spend time making a mess with others - at a class or on the road at a retreat -  with paper or legos or icing. 

Time with friends always includes food and drink, right? Funny, we take pictures of our food to post on social media, but then never pictures of ourselves after we've eaten all that food. 

and drink.

Wait! I take that back. Here's after an afternoon's lunch .

(laughter truly is the best medicine)

The biggest mess of all is really me. Take today. With a craftermath on my dining room table, two classes to prepare for, UPS boxes to unpack, I was in the kitchen punching stars from Pepsi cartons and Orville Redenbacher popcorn boxes - silver, blue and red. I got the idea when I was thinking of stars as embellishments for the scrapbook of my grandsons. Yes, I could have gone to the craft store and found stars, stars with adhesive backs yet, but I would have had to put on my shoes and find a hat and ... nah. And then it rained.

So, I wonder just how many stars I can get out of these two boxes? And since they are both empty, I'll have more soon - probably before I can even finish with these two. But, what a good idea! 

Tomorrow I am going to a monthly team meeting. I haven't been in a while; I hope they don't ask me where I have been.

I'll be back, but leave the light on for me.
