Sunflower Postcard So Cheerful

I chose this pretty and bright card to send to my partner postmuse from swap-bot. I loved this card which I have had for a short time now but just never found someone I would like to send it to. Now that I am using my mommy time to write snail mails it jumped at me to be written on.

I want to find more like this one so I will need to look at the stationery area when I go shopping.

Being New At Things Can Be Difficult For Me

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.
