First of all....THANK YOU so much for the birthday wishes for my Mom! She really appreciated all of your lovely comments, and she wanted me to tell you that. It made her feel special and totally made her day! Thank you, sweet readers!
I can't believe the weekend's over. There were so many things I wanted to get done this weekend. {mow the lawn, finish the Paper Doll Journal I'm working on, sew some new things for the shop, clean my house...and on and on. You know how it goes.} Instead, Mario and I made these plastic bead thingamajigs. He told me mine needed more colors. He's probably right. I love his random colorful "pancake", as he calls it.
This is my {slow} progress on Lori's journal. Don't laugh!
I have a plan. I scrapped the first draft I had started, and I think this one may actually work. I'm embarrassingly far behind on my portion of the journal. I do hope my creative slump is passing...
Welcome to the club! It must this Summer.

oh yes, I know how it is! I've just been cleaning the house like a woman possessed during Humbugs naptime so I can make sure I can have a bit of crafty time with her this afternoon. Just didn't have time to do it over the weekend!
Love your craftiness, and the paper doll 'bits' are so pretty. I love seeing other people's 'crafts in process' piccies. I'm nosey like that!
Glad your mum had a great bd. :o) Have a super start to the week. xx

Oh, it will certainly be worth waiting for. Your swap partners will be fine and won't mind at all!

I have no doubt that your contribution to the journal will be stunning...and aren't those plastic thingamajigs fun...my little one and I love playing with those.

Awww! I think playing with Mario is the most important thing you could have done :) I love them both!
Andrea, whatever you do for the paper doll journal will be gorgeous!! I am excited to see it finished :)
I am so glad your sweet mom had a great birthday!
Hugs,
Amy

The countenance is the portrait of the mind,the eyes are its informers.
