I joined a CD swap called Story of my life. I recieved one of my CD’s today. I didn’t get a chance to listen to it during the day but I popped it in my CD player in my car and was hoping for a surprise. Almost EVERY song on the CD had me screaming and dancing and singing like a fool. I didn’t care who saw me. I got home, raced up the stairs and popped it in the computer to finish listening. This CD made me laugh. it made me reminice on my own memories and made me cry. I am so glad I joined this swap after receiving this CD from Ordinaryangel.

It’s a special thing to share your life with others and I think in song is the perfect way to do it. I never thought about OTHER people having memories to some of my favorite songs. It never crossed my mind, even as I was making my own CDs to swap. It wasn’t until I realized this as I was reading Kelly’s list of memories.

I can’t wait to get my other CD. I joined 2 other swaps and will post pics once I receive them all.

I’m off to design a mobile for my next swap.

Wish me luck!

So I got home Saturday and looked at my apartment. A mess. My crafts have overtaken not only my life but they are everywhere you look. My desk was in the corner of the living room next to the couch and I added a long table for my sewing machine. Then I added a shelf, then I added this and that.

I NEED A SPACE JUST FOR MY CRAFTS!!!! I have built in shelves in my dining room. The bottom shelf I have lined with magazine boxes. A llight bulb went off. I moved my antique Duncan Pfife table with the drop leaves into the corner where my desk once sat and moved everything into my dining room. Woo hoo! Instant craft room. Now I can see the TV while I craft or work on the computer.

I stayed up pretty much all night getting organized. well, at least my shelves and sewing table are organized. LOL In all the organizing I found my red Polaroid camera and IT HAD FILM. The strange thing is that I don’t ever remember putting film in it. It is at least a year old but decided to take the last of the pics of my beautiful new area…the organized part at least.

The film is expired and didn’t develop complete and the color is all yucky. LOL I wasn’t expecting digital quality so i am not disappointed. You can get an idea of my new area. It inspires me and I cannot wait to get crafting. I am back and have a good feelin about 2007.

now I can work on my swaps…I have yours Becka…I just need to find a box to mail it in. I am sooo sorry it’s taken me soo long but I kept finding cuteness to put in it. I promise to get it to you soon.

I hope to do more catching up the rest of the week. Off I go to do more cleaning and organizing.

Wish me luck!
