Right Now, I am

1. settling into our fall routines, despite L already missing two days of school.
2. praying for a list of people longer than I wish it to be, all with health issues, some very serious.
3. chipping away at a list of chores a mile long, slowly, ever.so.very.slowly.
4. overwhelmed with the number of creative projects I need/want to work on, many of which center on the holidays, which will be here before I know it!
5. closing the door to a small piece of my life (being a Stampin' Up! demonstrator), and watching for the window to open.
6. doing some soul searching about where I want to head in the next couple of years
7. in constant awe of the creative talent that exists in this world, many of which I see from everyday people following their creative hearts.
8. feeling like I am ready for something big to find me.

A recap

Wow! Where has the month of June gone? Here's a bit of what I've been working on this month (and it certainly hasn't been my blogs!):

• cleaning up my stUdio to get ready for some serious creating this summer and definitely this fall when all three kiddos will be in school for the first time,
• easing through the transition from school year to summer vacation,
• taking a trip to Storyland and Santa's Village (our favorite family place as of yet),
• focusing on spending quality time with the boys, living in the moment, cherishing these carefree summer days,
• finishing (truly) a wedding project that began over a year ago,
• making lists: what we want to do this summer, to-do's, projects for the fall, pages to scrapbook, blog entries to write, crafts to do with the kids, stuff I want to look for when I go antiquing,
• getting the boys bedrooms in order,
• affirming for the third year that our blow-up pool in the backyard was the best $23 we ever spent,
• reading.
