Withdrawl & Glitter _ Beware August 27, 2008

I have been going through complete electronic with drawl.  I did not know how much I actually enjoy blogging.  I think I will make a few posts to catch up with some photos.  One set in particular.  My boy started KINDERGARTEN!!!!!  I cannot believe he hopped on the bus and did not look back.  No hug for the Momma.  It was harder for me than it was for him.  I am going to miss our morning cuddle time and his constent chatter. 

Now for the glitter part.  Pretty sure the culprit for the hard drive crash was pink and silver glitter. I have no clue how glitter would get in there?  Not like I had an accident a week before the crash when it looked like Tinker Bell had exploded in our house.  Glitter was everywhere.  It was the UltraFine glitter so it was even harder to clean up.  I managed to take it bakc to Ohio with me too.  I even accidentally glittered Ben.  He is my friends new baby boy.  Needless to say his father was not happy with his sparkling boy.

I will upload pictures later this afternoon.

Edited:  Simply random pictures of projects.

I thought I would upload some random creations.  One is fall and the other is Christmas-ish.  I never work in season so I

never know when to post my work.

sunshine-card.jpgHotel living is fun for the first few days.  NO beds to make or meals to cook and someone cleans up after you.  Today is day 9 and I am ready to cook and clean.  I have nothing to do in my spare time.  I read my books and magazines.  Finished what I could of 3 needle felting projects.  I would have gotten further along but I broke the needles.  The tool comes with 3 of them.  They slowly broke one at at time and I cannot find the refill for it here.  I can buy a new one that has refills available here but I do not remember seeing it at home.  So my dilema is do I buy the new tool here since I know I will be able to get refills for it or do I purchase refills for my current one?  I am simply ready to be in one city.  I will admit I am a tad bit of a control freak.   I like to have things a certain way and I like to have them all in order and be able to plan ahead.  Well right now I have no control over what is going on and I do not like it.  I am a planner and that is all there is to it.  Okay enough whining.  I will deal with what I can and let the rest slide.  I also really am missing home amd we are only here on a temporary basis.  I can not imagine what it is going to be like when we are actually moved in.  The housing market is unbelievable here.  I knew it would be a bit more expensive but I did not know how much.  Who knows where we will end up?   

 The card is one that I made last year.  I thought it was pretty cute then and I still like it now.
