Time needed!

Good grief, where has this week gone?  I have been trying to keep my head above water all week long, at work and at home and it just hasn't been happening :)  Unfortunately my crafty time is what has been suffering. 

I was able to get downstairs last night and make a get well card for a family member.  It felt SO good to be crafty!  But it was somewhat bittersweet.  I looked around my crafty area and saw so much stuff that needed to be cleaned and organized and more stuff that needed to be used!  Haha!

My get well card is for a manly family member :)  I hope it cheers him up!


This Boarding Pass paper was perfect because he use to work for the railroad!  I was so excited :)  I embossed my sentiment so it would really show up on the patterned paper.  The circle embellishment came from a railroaders time keeping book I picked up at an antique  store several months ago.

What are your plans this weekend?  Mike's birthday is Saturday so we're heading up to the Harley plant for their open house.  Sunday is football, football, football :) for him which means crafting, crafting, crafting for me :)  Maybe I'll be able to catch up!  Have a fantastic Friday and a beautiful weekend!  Thanks for coming by today!
