Good morning from the cold north… just kidding – this is the warmest winter we have ever had.\u00a0 Literally, it was 70 degrees when I took this photo this morning.\u00a0 In February.\u00a0 Yes, this is extreme Southern Illinois (or So Ill as we call it down here!).\u00a0 It should be in the 30’s-40’s.. not 60’s and 70’s.<\/p>\n
Really, this was my view from the back deck as I was running upstairs to my honey hole above the garage.\u00a0 I wanted to take a picture of my progress so far on my cards to show y’all.\u00a0 But, I could not resist snapping a picture of that view.\u00a0 What you can’t see (or hear) is the major interstate on the other side of the field across the pond.. but still… what a great place to live!<\/p>\n
So, I said I was making progress in my cards and 3D projects for the craft fair now just barely a week away.<\/p>\n

That right there folks is is the fixin’s for 4 each of 35 different designs cut and ready for stampin’ along with about 25 boxes using the Window Box Thinlits.\u00a0 On my…<\/p>\n
Here is the part I am still working on today…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
This is just a portion of the 100 or so designs I have left to do.\u00a0 Of course, that may dwindle as my energy dwindles.<\/p>\n
Right now, I am getting ready to cut succulents for some of the 3D projects I am building.<\/p>\n
How on earth do people know what to make for their craft fairs?\u00a0 with this being my first one, I am at a total lost and am probably over preparing!\u00a0 Oh well… I will be doing one in May too!<\/p>\n
I have so much work ahead of me.\u00a0 But, I do it to myself.\u00a0 I wait until the last minute.\u00a0 I am a habitual procrastinator… really, I am.<\/p>\n
So, I will stay here… then move back home to my craft room…<\/p>\n
Until next time,\u00a0 keep it simple, Stampers!<\/p>\n
