Challenged Myself!

Okay--- so let's do it....

I am finding the creative back in my life.

I finished my 2009 album and it is pretty cute....

I finished my Christmas 2009 album and I heart it.

I made three wreaths:
This one was inspired by this crafty person's blog, Flower Patch Farmgirl.

And this one was inspired by Jellybeans and Fireflies.

And this one was inspired by a wreath I got way back when---possibly 1993ish from Mrs. Adams, a beloved neighbor, I loved it so---made of two embroidery hoops and filled with crayons. I wanted a "Back To School Wreath" so I made a bow out of ripped pages from Janet Evanovich's Eleven on Top and went to town with some crayons. Now this puppy will let everyone know that school is imminent.

Tomorrow I hope to repurpose some curtains purchased for the kitchen to use in my bedroom. I will have to do some sewing--- ohhh, I am excited and I also hope to find something at the thrift store to make something like this...pretty.

On another bright note, despite the fact that I haven't even interviewed for a full time teaching job, I was just called to sub for the second and third day of school at a local elementary school. Hopefully this is a sign of many days of subbing to come.
