Yes, it’s true. The rumors of my complete abandonment of blogging are untrue. I’ve just been as busy as a bee lately. Between work, school and some issues I’ve had lately with excessive sleeping, I just haven’t had much time for… well, ANYTHING! 😆 I just happen to have a little bit of time today to catch my breath at work, so I thought that I would blog. I owe some pictures of the work I’ve been doing for my art classes, so I’ll try to post that in bits sometime in the near future, if at all possible.
So, one week ago today was my birthday. Thank you for the birthday wishes for those who remembered. It’s kinda hard to remember when I don’t put my countdown ticker up, I know. Sorry about that. See above about that busy stuff. 😉 Anyway, Terry got me a Wii Fit so that I can work on improving my balance, plus exercise in a more fun and interesting way, plus practice my yoga moves. He also got me a kit to make my own paper. Yes, I can make my own paper and cardstock now. We went out the next day and bought some more goodies to go with it, like mica powder for some lovely shine, iridescent flakes for sparkle and flower petals for some added interest. I’ve stopped for now because I need to create some sort of setup that will allow me to press dry the sheets instead of ironing them because ironing curls the paper. So, I have 3 sheets and 1 envelope of only semi-usable paper sitting upstairs. Okay, 1 envelope, 1 sheet of paper, 1 sheet of cardstock and 1 sheet of something in between. I’m enjoying this way of recycling paper from my shredder, though!
Good to hear from you, Jenna! Keep on with your new paper addiction and let us see the results soon. 🙂
Welcome back! I’ve been slacking in the blogging department lately too…but I’ve been busy with all kinds of other things.
Enjoy your Wii Fit! We got one back in May and had a lot of fun with it over the summer. I was pretty religious with my workouts on it…until I got a stress fracture in my ankle in mid-August and had to go no exercise for a couple months. I’ve got the all clear to ease back into things, but there are certain movements (stretching or twisting my ankle, excessive pounding on it, etc.) that still hurt it. I found out that stepping on and off the balance board also hurts…so no Wii Fit for a bit longer.
Hey! There you are! I was wondering if school kept you away – I certainly know it has for me, but I was never a good blogger anyway…
I’m a recycle freak myself, so I just LOVE the fact that you’re recycling your shredded paper
Always great to hear from you, Jenna! Congratulations on doing so well in school! WHOO HOO!!! 😀
Hi Jenna (from one lax-blogger to another!) Happy birthday for last week – sorry I missed it, head in the sand lately. So glad to hear you’re doing well, and hooray on the recycled paper gig – I’ve been meaning to try that for a while with the kids. Take care 🙂
Great to hear from you again, Jenna! waiting to see your art!
Welcome back!! We’ve missed you. Happy Belated Birthday, Jenna! 🙂
Oh so glad you’re back!
Sorry I missed your bday. I hope you had a very good day!
(hugs)
