Saturday, February 23, 2008

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.
