Well it was a very relaxing vacation week for us, sorry that it is ending, and back to work tomorrow I go! I have ejoyed staying home mainly with family having some bbq's and playing outdoor games! And tonight I finished 2 Birthday cards, so I can get them ready for mailing out to BC!

Hi everyone; well this week we are on vacation! yay....; not really going anywhere specific, just going to either do a couple of day trips around the area, or be with family a few times for bbq's, but mainly just relaxing and maybe even do some crafting; I bought some cool things this week so work on; as well today I want to do some painting on a birthday card! will show the 2 cards when finished! as they are for my grandkids! so now I am going to sit and enjoy some Pinterest viewing for some inspiration and drink my coffee; Have a great day!

Hi everyone, hope you are all staying well; Life has just been too busy for me lately it seems; I am planning on doing some crafting on Saturday this week; I have 2 Birthday cards that I need to start working on; for my grandkids! not sure what designs I am planning on doing but I think I am going to do some hand painting on one for sure; will post when finished!

Hi everyone; well it has been a hot humid week for sure, and it looks like we are in for another week of even hotter and humid temperatures next week; I am happy that I get 3 day's off next week; but of course they are working day's for me at home! today is a busy day for me; as I am getting ready to do my Avon direct sales business this morning; I have some orders and brochures to deliver; then this afternoon, I am working at my day job until close tonight; and tomorrow I ha...ve another Avon delivery to do and drop off some brochures since I will be out anyway! later when I get home, I am working on some craft ideas; so one of my days off I will be making a trip to Michael's craft store; to look at a few things; looks like we may get some more rain today! we had a thunderstorm last night but it didn't cool things down much, the air was still hot and humid last night when we closed the store! Have a great weekend everyone! stay safe! See more

Ok the countdown is on; what do I mean? well reduced hours at my day job hopefully! in March 2021 I will be hitting the big 65 years young; so hopefully I can then start in April to start getting my CPP and old age pensions, then I can see what more I need to earn to make sure I am financially set for semi-retirement; not complete retirement; but a more subdued lifestyle? where I can stay home and perhaps craft a lot more; and work at the day job a lot less! and do more of wh...at I want to do before time runs out! so the countdown is on; I have the next 6-10 months to get my act together to be able to semi-retire! trying to get those multiple streams of income aligned so I do not have to go out and work everyday! With my Avon Business, I have come to decide that 3 ways of earning a income might be the right choice to make; so I am looking into that; then I also have my "Creative Strokes" by M.J. Business, that I have seriously been lacking to do, and need to change that, maybe look into doing some classes? then also will try and work reduced hours at the day job, but need to wait a few more months, from now to the fall to see what I need to do there! but right now I am going to enjoy the morning before I need to get ready for work! so having another cup of coffee, as I sit in my craft room I can feel the humidity coming from the open window; which I opened for my 2 cats to look out of but they have disappeared again from my room; Have a Great Day everyone!
