summer time

Well, here we are, last day of June. I’m sitting down at the communal laptop in the living room because my computer is buried in the chaos that is our suite. There’s dust everywhere, walls torn down, floors gone, and generally uninhabitable except for the bedroom. I didn’t do any planning for this entry, I’m just sort of typing with no direction or end in mind. I kind of like that.

I’ve really been getting into this whole book-making thing. Amy and I have been to the dollar store and places like Staples and Wall-Mart for supplies, and we’ve got a craft table set up in her place. Some of the books I’ve been making are frickin’ beautiful, if I may say so. They make the other ones I’ve made look like lame. We got some “mod podge” that makes the covers all beautiful and shiny, and my husband reckons I could sell some of the nicer ones for a good 20-25 bucks. I’m stoked. We’re talking about doing the fall fair and maybe winning some prizes. Sometimes I wish I hadn’t taught the little girls though. If they’re not walking away from their mess and expecting us to clean it up for them, they’re wanting to use the really awesome tissue paper that Amy and I got, or not cleaning their brushes. But you know me, I LOVE crafts.

So, hopefully our place is going to be done in the next week or so. I’ll be very happy to have our own place back. I spent a couple hours cleaning Amy’s apartment today, and it felt really good to make things clean. I think I’m nesting, and I really wish I could be putting our place in order.

I’m going back to AB in a couple weeks! We’re camping here for 2 days and then I’m going to fly out and my dad is going to pick me up from the airport. I’m excited because my grandmaman and Auntie L and little cousin are going to be there. I haven’t seen them for almost 2 years. I’m not so much looking forward to camping though… I haven’t had excellent camping experiences, and I have to get up to pee 3 or 4 times a night. *grumble*

I think that’s all for now, not really feelin’ it. Talk to you guys later.

  1. Is making books the new trend? I’ve seen a couple of people talk about this lately. Or have I just been a recluse? Who knows.

    • Couldn’t tell ya, but it’s pretty much my favorite craft ever.

  2. Aww, yay! Will you get to visit me? If only for an hour or so??

    • It’s possible, I was thinking of hitting up Raccoon for a karaoke night. My family are probably going to dig their nails in pretty hard.

  3. God luck with the finishing up of your place. The books sound lovely, maybe you’ll post some pics?
    Well, breathe deep, smile lots.
    Ciao!

    • I might! Thank you for the lovely words!
