Mugshot Monday: March Madness (at home)

Mugshot Monday: 3/24/2014

I’m writing in bits and pieces this morning, because my head is filled with choppy ideas. Sometimes “choppy” is all I have. Life right now feels like it’s disjointed, but all are good chunks of time. If you’re a reader out there, hope you’re flowing along better than me. 🙂

Hosted an “open craft table” night at home with a few pals. Definitely want to do more!

Watching March Madness and playing our annual family bracket pool. Winner picks dinner out.

Stitched a postcard for the Great Stitched Postcard swap.

Preparing to teach a paper flower workshop at TeaLula this week!

Working on another Subway Art piece for a lovely lady who won it in an auction for Kalo Foundation of Park Ridge.

Participating in the #showusyalists journal challenge. Five lists in five days, and lots of fun.

Getting ready to visit friends over Spring Break at Goldberry Woods.

Helped out a friend join Pinterest and the Twittersphere. Won’t you welcome her?

Mugshot Monday: Waiting for Spring

Another two-fer mugshot post…

Our days continue to be busy with activities, so I’m looking forward to a little break. Now whether or not it’ll feel like spring, that’s to be determined. It seems we can’t get past this warm sun-snow-freeze cycle. (Curse you, Polar Vortex!)

Snow finally melting, except more snow on the way (March 10, 2014)

So, while I’ve been juggling the day-to-day life happenings, I’ve also been trying to sneak in some creative time when I can. I just finished my One Little Word activities for February. Got a thumbs up from Ali Edwards, herself! Eeeee.

Mugshot Monday: On Location at Dixie Kitchen

Mugshot Monday: 3/3/2014

Day off for the hubby, so we hit up places that kids don’t necessarily enjoy, like The Spice House, grocery shopping… you get the idea.

This place seemed like the perfect spot for lunch given that the next day was Mardi Gras. Oh, how I love me some Cajun and creole dishes. Beignets were a lovely, pillowy, powdery, doughy end to some finger-lickin’ good eats. Thanks for lovely lunch, Dixie Kitchen!

Looking for February

2014 just started, right? My goodness, it’s the end of February next week, and I’m not sure where all the time has gone. Pretty sure it has to do with 1) shortest month of the year, 2) dreariest winter ever, 3) school events piled up, and 4) my husband’s, daughter’s and father’s birthdays all in the same month.

My mind wanders every which way with ideas, or things I need (or want) to do for all the events. And all I can really do is take deep breaths, and conquer the to-do list one thing at a time. For instance, we are one week past Valentine’s Day, and I just sent out a little package today to a friend. It’s not like I procrastinated in buying the Valentine’s Day goodies – I just failed on the packaging and mailing part. *sigh* And… life goes on. *grin*

I have some fun art and crafting events coming up soon which I can’t wait to share. Admittedly, I’m also way behind in some reviews, journaling adventures and a couple of project tutorials. But, it’s all good… my life is so good, and I’m grateful for all the awesome creative energy that seems to be flowing my way this year. Just have to organize my writing time.

Here’s a look back at this month’s Mugshot Mondays.

Our week is all messed up again – too cold to go to school. At this rate, summer vacation won’t start until late June. Yes, we’re getting tired of winter, and we’re only one month into it. Totes magoats.
