Hello! I have another card to share with you today. I made this last week when I was able to sneak off to my craft room for a while.
It was a really busy week. My daughter played the clarinet at Band-O-Rama on Wednesday. I was so proud of the kids. They all did a great job. (Although I have to say I won’t miss her practicing the best of Queen on the clarinet. Some things, like Queen and clarinets, just don’t go together.) We also found out she was picked as a “Taste Agent” for Skratch Labs. It is her first sponsorship/endorsement for fencing. Yeah! Mix in basketball practice, drama rehearsals, cheerleading for the boy’s basketball team, and playing the piano, she is one busy kid. (I’ll take this moment to brag she is also on Honor Roll.) I asked her if she like being so busy and if she was sure she wanted to participate in so many activities and I received a resounding “Yes!”. As long as she keeps her grades up, I’m okay with it.
My job has been keeping me really busy all winter. The new job I took last year is in logistics. With all the terrible weather we have had across the country this year, it has really kept me on my toes and has cut into my crafting time. I hope the groundhog was wrong and we see spring, and some better weather, soon.
That’s it for this week. I’ll leave you with another look at my card. Have a great week!
