Today is the Day... That Color Me Crafting Begins!

Yes... I created this awesome placemat...
from my own pattern... don't worry I'll show you how too!
Yes...
Today is the day that I start to live again...

Okay, not that I wasn't living but...

I kinda wasn't.

For the past 10 months I have been working days...
as a school nurse...
in an elementary school...
with little kids...

And they whine...
and they snot on you...
and they throw up on your shoes...
and they cough in your face...
and they ...
SUCK THE LIFE RIGHT OUT OF YOU!

And then there's the families...
Like a box of chocolates... some are just full of nuts!

Okay, not really, but kinda, yes.

It is a job that leaves me mentally, if not physically exhausted...
Tired of being accused of being too nice, not nice enough, and everything in between...
every single friggin' day...

Which means that when I come home and sit down for a minute...
I rarely have the energy to do anything else for the rest of the day...

But Wait!
There's More! 
( yes, that IS the voice of Billy Mays you hear in my head)


 
These little critters are easy and quick to crochet... perfect for gifts for your little critters!
                                                                                    
                                                   




Today
(or tomorrow, all depends on when you got to sleep), is the last day of work for me for the school year...
YES...
That IS the Hallelujah Chorus you hear...(again, in my head)...
And YES...
That IS the pop of a champagne cork ( those things could put an eye out)...
And YES...
Those ARE tears of joy and elation as...
CREATIVITY and INSPIRATION come rushing into me...
like a flood from the heavy rains of Spring after a long, dry spell...

YES! YES! YES!  ( Think Meg Ryan and the diner scene from When Harry Met Sally...)
Today is the day that Color Me Crafting begins!

well...
actually, it is tomorrow since today I HAVE to go in and finish up my paperwork...
but then...
Look Out Crafters of the world... I'm gonna have a ton of stuff to show you...
okay, maybe not a ton, but certainly a lot...
well, enough to get you going...?
some ideas to inspire you to go to the craft store...?
to get off the couch and go clip some coupons...?
alrighty then...
PREPARE TO BE CRAFTING!)
