Well it's been a quiet yet busy time - if that makes sense!
I've been busy getting things ready for a special meeting for the BC Ataxia Society. We had a guest speaker - actually the program founder as well as a Canadian Paralympic Gold Medal Athlete - IMPRESSIVE! He spoke about a gov't program titled Choice in Supports for Independent Living (CSIL). Deep breath - the meeting is over and was a resounding success! The Tim Horton coffee and Timbits didn't hurt either!
Now who wants a Christmas party?
Talking of Christmas it will soon be upon us.
I've been working on special projects for my grandchildren but cannot share them with you just yet. You'll need to wait until after Christmas as I have a daughter who still likes to peek! However I did work on altering some Tim Holtz clocks. I have one finished with flowers, pearls and pretty things then one in progress with glitter, snow, christmas trees and snow angels. I'll share these with you once I am finished - hopefully this week!
Other than that I have lots of photos of my adorable grandchildren and tons of scrapbook paper and embellies but NO MOJO! I don't know where it went but I'm hoping to find it before the long, cold winter sets in.
I have a sale going on in my Etsy Shop - Sapphire Noteables - but unfortunately haven't added to the inventory lately other than my recent custom order. Come on mojo!
I still can't decide whether to close up shop and just concentrate on personal layouts and projects. I guess the winter will tell but in the meantime check out the sale and pick yourself up a handmade album or two at a good price.
Christmas and personal scrapping brings me to Memories.
I won't lie - as much as I am looking forward to this Christmas with my precious little grandchildren I am not looking forward to not having my husband to share it with. This will be my first Christmas without him since his death and it will not only be a hard day for me but for the 'kids' also. Remembering how sick he was last.
Christmas and how he did all he could to enjoy it with his family will be hard. We'll have to remember all the happy memories of Christmases together.
His death made me realize the importance of personal scrapping and how important it is to preserve our memories
He was so proud when I made a new project or album for my Etsy Shop though - he would want me to continue.
Such a hard decision - I may have to find a happy balance.
Busy? Not really - just a bunch of little things! Quiet? Yep - I'll take it though before the crazy month of December hits us!
