It's been a very long time! The last time I wrote a post, it was 2012!!! Can you believe that? My family had just moved five months before from the coast of South Carolina to the distant suburbs of Atlanta, Georgia! I was just getting my feet wet in the Craft Market world of the area.

How many of us LOVE to go into a name brand store and get stuff for 60 or 70% off? I know I do!
But have you ever thought of who created that outfit you just bought?
If it was name brand, it was made in a factory and more than likely, not even in America. Have you ever looked at the tag?
Even better...

My family acknowledges the day but it's not a day of love and amour for us... We like to show our love everyday. Today is the day to celebrate my husband's second born son, Evan.

But now it's so messy?"
I commented something about how everyone else in the house didn't seem to care or help out every day picking stuff up.
His reply was "Well, why is the carpet so spotty and messy?"

I remember my grandma telling me that Mondays are her worse days. She lives with my parents and when I lived in the area, my brother's family and my sister's family would all get together there on Sunday afternoons. Monday morning it was eerily quiet and she would feel depressed.....

Sewing Station
Well, Thursday I decided that if I waited until the studio was totally to my liking, well, I would NEVER get back into sewing and crafting, lol. Let's face it, I am a messy, crafty person and I will never have a beautifully put together, never messy studio. SOOOOOooooo, I decided to toss what I could and work around the rest...

Not sure if its because I had to shut off my creativeness about 6 months ago when we found out that we were going to have to move or if it's just the utter stress of everything that I carry on my shoulders that is going on with me and around me. What I do know is that when I walk into my new studio, I don't have the creative itch to get the rest of the mess fixed Christie Y Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00092489551211917181noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069303725243988306.post-3386597318422205012011-12-25T08:34:00.000-05:002011-12-25T08:34:46.140-05:00Merry Christmas!Hoping that you and your family have a blessed day!Christie Y Brownhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00092489551211917181noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5069303725243988306.post-17674969759279964142011-12-14T11:54:00.000-05:002011-12-14T11:54:05.827-05:00Settling In....Everyday, I think of something that I would love to blog about, but I think that I have gotten so OUT of blogging that I don't make myself sit down and write.
