I'm Busy, Busy, Busy these Days!

The weekend was far too short. I really think we should petition to have longer weekends and much shorter work weeks. I just need more time to play!

It's been so many years since I've had to plan and prepare meals on any sort of regular basis, that I had completely forgotten how time consuming that little chore can be. And taking hubby back and forth to work daily cuts out another hour of my time daily. During the week I do the taxi thing with the Boo. But now I have to do this over the weekends for a while too. Then there's the whole sleep thing. Gotta get myself the proper amount of sleep or we'll have headache issues. Laundry has to be done too. So you see, there are just too many little details that get in the way of my weekend time when I'd rather be doing my artsy stuff!

But I did manage to play a little. I'm getting ready to launch a new website (a blog really) to host some journaling retreats. If you like creative art journals or you've been interested in what the fuss is all about - be sure to check back here in a week or two and see what's cooking with that new blog.

I love art swaps and I've hosted my fair share of them. I participate in all sorts of creative swaps (ATCs, journals, cards, etc.) For the last couple of years I've limited my hosting to mostly my CHW website activities. However, I'm now considering hosting a few artful swaps that are not limited to CHW members only. But I just haven't had enough time open up to do so. Maybe this winter I'll have more opportunity for such things.

I'm also busy building a couple of digi-kits and printables to share. When I get these FREEBIES ready to go, I will be delivering them via my Craft Happy Website. Some products will be available to guests who visit our site. However, most will be for folks who are actively involved with CHW. At this time I don't sell any of my products online.

In addition to other goodies, I'll be sharing a paper pack I made to create this digi-LO:


All digi items by me except the fiber. That's from Amy Kneppers Diver Down kit.

But tonight my friends I'm taking time off from cooking, cleaning, and personal creations. Instead I'm going to the Civic Center to catch the musical "CATS". I'm sure looking forward to this evening out on the town with hubby. We will be sharing our monthly anniversary evening together - with Boo in tow this time. I suppose we still need a chaperone?! LOL
