Being New At Things Can Be Difficult For Me

\Bookmark Swap: Inspirational

This above is a bookmark I made for little ole me, the one I sent to my partner was in pink, but I was out of pink so blue came in a close second for me.  See I am making things for me now too.

I have undertaken two new things in my life recently. The first is starting this new jogging program and the second is starting this new swapping project.

It has been difficult for me to go through the new phase, which by the way I am still in. With jogging my legs want to just quit and my mind doesn’t. My legs and my out of shape heart are constantly fighting me to just give up and quit. I am a tough cookie and just ignore the desire to quit, I will not quit. It is not an option for me to quit as my life depends on it.

Swapping has been the same so hard to break through the newbie stigma.  I am delving into a world that is totally new to me, well I did it for a little bit years ago, I don’t count that really.  Yet little by little I am moving ahead and it is getting a tiny bit easier.  One thing is for sure I am getting to do more crafts for me.  I do a craft for someone else and it make me in the mood to craft for me hehe.  I feel kiddy like when I was in high school.  Really I am very easily amused these days it seems.

My jogging is also coming right along my muscle complain and grip but I still carry on in hopes that too will become easier with time.  Well I am in the third week of that and in my first month of crafting for others.  So let’s see which one becomes like second nature first won’t we.

This craft was so much fun and the kids love it.  We used these

They worked really good and were easy to clean off from the table.  The only place they stayed on longer was the little fingers but other than that it was fun even for mommy.

Here is another craft I want to try when my kids are sleeping.

I was so excited the other day found in my mail box a reply to my 1st letter. I didn’t expect a reply from this dear friend I thought I would get an email. The reason for this is because I know she is going 24/7 as a full time mom, and working full time outside her home.

Well she dropped me a nice typed letter, and it just tickled me pink.

Thanks friend for making my day brighter.

A Swapping I Will Go A New Project For Me

03/04/2011 by Sandra Leave a Comment

Well I am taking a dive into the swapping world. The more I read the more I am reluctant but yet I want to give it a try. I have sent in my first postcard on Feb 25, and I am now waiting to see my partners comments  on this swap.

I am waiting to see what I receive and I have to comment on  my assigned partner. I am a bit excited but a bit cautious.

Here is a pic of the post card I sent for my first ever swap.  I hope it is what the receiver expected, I am waiting to see what rating I receive.  (taps foot as I am antsy)

I did good on this swap and I got an ata girl you did okay.

I sent out my next package yesterday and I am kicking myself in the tush because I forgot to take a picture of it.  It was a pretty bookmark with  with a pretty butterfly on it.  But to no avail I was planning on making one for myself too so I will take a picture of the one I make myself and post it.

I am currently working on craft that is based around the color green.  I am having a nice time putting it together.  The second package is a Easter/Book/Recipe exchange.

More on my progress on those as I work on them.

To date I have not receive anything yet, my mailbox remains empty sigh yet I hope that will change soon.
