Fun Times in Alpharetta

I had a really fun time tonight doing something different. A friend at church suggested a card party where we all make 12 valentine cards and bring them and we swap cards. I haven't done anything crafty like that in awhile so I was a little rusty. I forgot how walking into hobby lobby gives me the desire to be crafty and I think 'self' i do say it, i've told ya'll i do, "self if I buy everything I will then be good at everything", but i know that isn't the case. For instance I tried using embossing powder on my cards, but i didn't want to buy the embossing heating tool, obviously if I was Kirk I would have bought the tool, because he has to own all the tools. Anyway I didn't and therefore the cards didn't look quite like I had hoped, but it was still fun. Mostly it was just fun to get out with some girls and talk books, actors (not actresses),movies, gross kid stories, you know. And mostly it got me out of the house so I missed a night of reading, which is a good thing! I am trying to baby step myself into reading less. I'm keeping track on Shelfari, in Jan for instance I read 18 books. And some of those I liked so much I read maybe twice. That's probably too many books, some of that time should really be used to... say, clean out closets or i don't know dust blinds. So I'm trying to slow down, so far in Feb I've only read 3 books so I think that slower... right? Although now isn't the time to slow down, Kirk will be gone a lot this month for court and then he goes right into pinewood derby time, heaven knows I'm a pinewood derby widow for at least a month. Talk about buying tools, the pinewood derby has cost me more money than all my scrapbooking supplies put together! At least we are down to only one cub scout this year, thank heavens for small graces!
