So recently, well, for a while I have been wanting to get into some sort of crafting. Back in highschool I used to make homemade cards and I liked it, I just couldn't concentrate on it. So yesterday I was supposed to buy a pair of shoes that were being held at a store, only they were not the right ones so I didn't buy them, they would have been about $25 bucks. So I went to Michaels in an effort to squelch my creative side for less than 25 dollars. I have been on ADD meds for about 4 months now and it makes a world of difference in how long I can work on something. I bought two cardmaking kits and got 6.00 off with a 40% coupon. I have made about 16 cards and they are sooo cute! I can't wait to get more stuff to make more, but I know I won't until I get rid of these, not sure what to do with them all now that they are made!
I still can't wait to get my Wii on friday!! I'm excited!!
Right now I am suffering from a migraine/sinus headache and I think I am going to go and lie down and see if I can get rid of it and something smells like feet in my office....i can't figure it out. I have a kink/knot in my back and can't wait to go to the chiropractor tomorrow.
Anywho, thats all for now, must get rid of my headache before my nieces come over for the evening, Katherina is almost 5 and Brianna is almost 2.
Talk to you tomorrow hopefully, and thanks for all the wonderful welcomes and comments.
Wii, Crafting and other things i feel like talking about.

I just also made 6 fabulous cards using dried/pressed flowers from my yard. All I bought was a pack of plain card/envelopes and the rest was free (already had a bottle of white glue).
Another really inexpensive, rewarding craft - cross stitching/embroidery. Once you start it's hard to stop. And I use for cards and book covers. The thread is about 30c a skein but you'll see the thread at yard sales and the thrift store. You don't need an oval to hold the material, but be sure to start small.
