Today was a craft day. I accepted the challenge of creating invitations and other party delights for a 5 year old's birthday party. The theme: Teddy Bear Tea Party. Today I created the invitations, 10 of them, and an 11th for my portfolio. 11 little teddy bears are now all "ribboned" up with tea party charms dangling from the ribbon tail. Little felt posies with irredescent sequins adorn the ribbon knot and they're all ready to be placed in tea cup stamped cellophane treat bags. I've printed some coloring pages for a party activity along with a pin the heart on the Teddy game. My last task is to locate an paint white porcelain tea cups for each little attendee. My little birthday princess has taken to scrapbooking with mom, so a little 8x8 scrapbook is in the bag as an early gift. I can't wait to deliver the happy package. Keep your fingers crossed that I find those silly tea cups...and, soon!
Tomorrow is an organizing day at mom & dad's. Mom requested such a day last weekend when we were in her craft room (my old bedroom) and she couldn't put her hands on a card she was looking for. Now, I consider my mom one of the most organized people I know, and I'm convinced I got all my organizing (and craft) know how from her. Irregardless, I will arrive armed with clear shoeboxes and a label maker tomorrow morning to "work" on mom's craft room.
Monday is supposed to be my rescheduled birthday card workshop from last week Monday. Now, my DH (darling husband) tells me that this Monday's weather prediction is not in favor for a well attended card workshop, again. I hate to sound like a quitter, but this one doesn't feel destined to happen. All I can say, is that I should be Uber prepared with all this time between workshops. (but, we all know that's not how it happens) :o)
Time for some sleep so I'm bright-eyed and ready to organize in the morning. nighty night all.

A little bit about ME
Hello! Yes, finally, I have joined the rest of the universe and set up a blog. I hope to find time to update this on a very regular basis.
I'll start with just a little bit about me: My name is Anne and I am a middle aged wife of a fabulous husband who tolerates my craft obsession/addiction. Currently, I am a F/T employee of a technology company, where I create client training in various media formats. I have always enjoyed discovering my creative strengths and have finally found a job that I just adore. Everyday is different, challenging, and usually rewarding.
Recently married (at 40) has proven to be quite fantastic...since we do not have any children we recently adopted a 5year old golden retriever named Chloe. WOW! What a FABULOUS dog. We couldn't have asked for anything better. She came fully trained and eager to please her new 'parents'. Chloe was initially shy of other dogs, but since her adoption, she has taken to her new 'cousins' Timber and Lucy (also golden retrievers.) She is exactly what we were missing, and we are so glad to have her in our lives.
My parents and sister (+ family) live in the same town. My brother lives in Phoenix, AZ. Judging from the endless mounds of snow this winter...my brother is truly the bright one in the group! My husband's family lives 30-45 minutes away, and we typically get together with them for weddings, baptisms, holidays, and other special events. Life is short and family is so important -- I'm hoping this year we will be able to get together more often.
Well, that's it for details about ME. Stay tuned for future updates about...all kinds of stuff. :) And, remember to do something creative everyday!
