new toys

I am so excited to get going with making cards! I really need to carve out time to get them done. One of my friends has just gotten her craft room flooring and windows in! We get to start moving stuff in there this Thursday! I can't wait! I have so many ideas floating around in my head and scratched onto my sketch pad! I have a few new Cricut cartridges that I have been dying to try! I hope to post pics soon of what I come up with! Hmm...so what's new? Well, I am totally addicted to Close to my Heart. I just can't seem to get enough of their stuff! Love the stamps, the paper, the ribbon, the embellishments, and their tools! Just love it all! Everything is coordinated so it's very easy to compile something quickly.
I am really hoping for a full-time job soon. It is hard jumping back and forth between a flex and a part-time job. I love them both, but it's taking a toll on my body...my sleep pattern, my eating pattern, and just my general overall health.
I went shopping the other day and bought a couple of new shirts and new cute undies:) I am loving feeling cute! I feel cute almost every day now (and that's a big deal because for a long time I did not).
I have been spending much needed time with friends more often! House night with one of my bestest friends, crafting with another good friend, home parties with friends I haven't seen in a long time, nights on the town with coworkers...love it!
Have been keeping close with my family. I love them so much! Spending time with my siblings has been amazing! My parents are wonderful and I really do enjoy spending time with them! In fact, we all just went bowling last weekend as a family and it was a blast! Now, if only, I was able to head out of state to be with more family. My grandfather is in the hospital and not doing well at all. Definitely keeping him in my thoughts. I continue to hope for a full-time job. I think that is about it. There is so much love and joy in me that hasn't been there in so long! I am officially in love with life!
