Now that the A to Z is over I want to thank everyone who came by to say hi and left either a like or a comment. I also want to apologize because I didn’t get around to visiting too many people other than the regulars. I’ll try to get to more folks as the month goes on.
I won’t be posting as much this month but I’ll be busier with life. I’m going to a scrapbooking retreat this weekend and I’m working on the concert albums. This is one set I did last time. It’s another Beatles Tribute band that is quite good. Not as flamboyant as the Fab Four but still fun to watch.
I have 4 shows that I’m bringing with me. Let’s see if I can get them all finished. I’ve decided that I don’t need to keep every single photo that I took, just the best or most interesting ones. Also, having to work with only what I bring with me is a challenge of sorts. Plus it is a chance for me to visit with a bunch of lovely ladies, including my best friend from high school. I definitely need the time to decompress and relax a bit.
We have family coming next week to visit my mother-in-law. They’ll be here for about a week. On Mother’s Day two of the kids and I are going to the Giants game. They are giving away cool free stuff.
Then, on the 17th I am going to do something I’ve never done before, TEACH A CLASS! I have signed up with our local senior citizens center to teach some crafting/scrapbooking classes. Now that it’s official, I’m kind nervous! This is what I’ll be teaching for this first class:
It is a refillable notepad holder that has a pocket to hold receipts or notes or whatever. They are made with a couple of sheets of 8-1/2 x 11 paper and held closed with a magnet. One has a quilter/seamstress theme and the other one is a cruise or vacation theme. I’ve always been a list maker and I hope that other list makers will appreciate them. I am bringing Christmas themed papers and decorations as well because I think that would be something folks would use. What do you think? These are available in my Etsy shop, just in case you’re interested.
Hubby and I will celebrate 40 years of wedded bliss (?) on the 20th. I had hoped to have a renewal of our vows or some big party or something but it’s not happening this year. Maybe for 45? We have taken to staying pretty close to home and at least one of us being here all the time for MIL who will be 99 this July.
So that’s my May. What does yours look like? Are you a list maker? Would you take a class from me? Any ideas for other notepad holders? A TBR list?
