So ... today has been a relatively quiet day. The boys had a snow day from school, and we spent the majority of the day with friends in "create"mode. Well, I was anyway, they played video games with their friends.
Tuesday night is the football banquet, and the other team Mom and I spent a good chunk of time today making paracord (survival) bracelets for the JV team, as end of the season gifts to go along with the "participation"certificate they get from the school. I had never done this before, so I was very excited; and was on a roll. They were much easier to put together than I thought, and I had a blast learning something new .... PLUS .... now I KNOW how to do it. I'm gonna be a paracord bracelet making loon until I get it out of my system. So much fun! And .... to my husband's shagrin .....
Hobby Lobby here I come!!!!!! Oh Glory!
I love crafting. Christmas ornaments are my favorite things to work on, and my family makes a new ornament every year. I'm a little behind on that this year, but our tree stays up until January 10 every season; so, I still have time to get them done. I'm thinking on making them with muffin pans and shrinky dinks or plastic crafting pellets -- easy peasy!
Today's lesson in learning and creating was very uplifting for me. School colors, red and black, with a medallion stamped with the school letters and players number. I was expecting it to ridiculously hard and to mess them up, but, as it turned out, I finished six in under four hours ..... not sure how fast or slow that is, but, this being my first go at it ..... I am jazzed! Now, I need to keep making them and learn some new and more advanced techniques.
So ... if everybody starts getting surprise packages in the mail from me ........ :)
In the New,
Kalena
