WOW!!! Time Flies!!! (And Checklist)

Here it is...the end of April already!!!  

Its been a few very difficult months, but now that they are behind me it is my intention to do more crafting every single day!   Filling out the forms for ODSP was very emotional especially the part that you had to fill out how everything affects your life.  I had to write pages and pages of emotional stuff that I just want to forget about and move on with my life.

As far as being creative is concerned, I joined an ATC Artist Trading Group on Facebook, other wise known as "The Big Group"  Its actually too big for me, but I am hoping to find homes for as many as my older ATCs that I can.  But here are some jobs that I need to complete this summer or as soon as possible.

Here is the order of stuff I need to do...

✔1)  Make a spring flip book for Bev Pisko over on Swap-Bot, which should actually get done today and in the mail tomorrow.  Its due May 5th and should have already been worked on. - CHECK!!!  Done and Mailed on May 3, 2017

2)  Finish Bonnie's pocket letter and mail the dies to her from Bev.

3)  Mona Lisa ATC's for ATC Exchange Circle

4)  Make a pocket letter for Michelle on the Canadian Pocket Letter Group.

5)  Make a pocket letter for my Mom for Mothers Day

6)  Make a pocket letter for Laura Toll.  I have already hinted to her that I was going to send something to her "Aunt Laura " oops that was accidental intention because I was supposed to say Aunt Linda.  But it made Laura laugh so that was good....

7)  Make a pocket letter for Aunt Linda.

8) Word die cuts for my partner in pre cut die cut swap group.

9) Make a few corner book marks and put one in Pats Pocket Letter and mail it

10)  I have fallen so far behind on the Heart Art Project that I don't know if I will be able to get caught up.

11)  I also have a WHOLE WHACK of die cutting to do especially for my good friend Bev.

12)  On going Swap bot projects.

13)  On going big group projects.

14)  Cut up all card board boxes down to ATC size to use for backings.

15)  Get back into water colour painting!  I love it so much but I have been getting artist block.

16)  Sorting all paper work we have into order by date for tax purposes.

17)  Update my profile on Swap-Bot

18)  Get caught up on Heart Art

19)  HALLOWEEN HOWL DUE AUGUST 31

20)  On going sorting and putting all ATCs into order by artist in binders.

21)   Collecting all of our contacts and info and writing them all down by hand and putting them into the roster manually...just in case if there is ever an information hiway crash...but for the real reason is that Google is messing around with our info believe it or not...

22)  Going through all of our photos and burning them on to dvd's

23)  On going sorting my craft stuff and keeping it reasonably tidy.  For example sorting whatever clear stamps I have that are not in binders and put them into binders.

24)  Being a better house keeper.

25)  Collect all the paper work necessary for an important meeting this week.

26)  Scan All of my available to trade ATCs to trade individually and put them in my files on Sharon's group, and the big group.

27)  Trade more on Sharon's group.

28)  On top of all of this I need to spend more time again on the lessons I am taking over at the learning hub.

29)  Over all being more creative especially on rainy days!  And making sure that I am completely all caught up on my promises!

30)  Exercising little by little everyday either doing the moving easy program, walking or jogging around the house, or playing fetch with Spencer.

31)  Clean Desk

I MADE IT TO 30!!!!   CAN I GET TO 40???

Now that I have put everything that I want to do and need to do for all of the world to see makes me accountable for it all!

The reason I have not been being so creative is because I have been hit with a bad cold so bad that my glands are swollen to the point where I can not even hear properly.  If it stays like this,  I will have to consider a hearing aid to help.  I sure hope my ear clears up as I am already deaf in my right ear.  Its now been two full weeks that this nasty cold has been keeping me down.  But I am tired of it. Tomorrow I will be making an appointment to see my care provider as soon as possible.

So, I am going to quit writing and get creative....

cheerio!
