CROPPING WITH FRIENDS

Hope you had a great weekend.

Mine was wonderful.  I spent Saturday at a Crop in Connecticut.

Cant say I got a lot accomplished - Not like a lot of the girls who whip out 10-20-30 scrapbook pages.

Nope, not me.  I didn't even do one.  What I did work on was a couple of simple cards and two mini books.
Still need to add some die cut flowers to the cards and need to do a LOT of embelishing of the mini books but hey, it's a start.......  
The best part of the day for me is never how much I get done - It's always about the fun I have with my friends........  This time I sat with Laura, Barbra, Jean, Rose and her daughter, and Barbara Z.
Ofcourse all the food is the second best part..........   OMG - I ate so much I thought I was going to pop.

SIGNS........

I was just on Facebook and saw Marah Johnson's Status which read:  " It's hard to wait around for something that you know might never happen, but it's even harder to give up when you know it's everything you want."Well, I'm taking this quote as just one more sign that there are some serious changes that need to be made in my life......
I wish I could put into words what exactly those changes are but there are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many things to list.
Let's just say that I really need to figure out how I can be who I want to be....

So let's start here..........
Today is Friday - June 25th.......
There are 39 more days till August 3rd.......   - THAT IS MY 45th BIRTHDAY -  YIKES!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How do I know it's 39 more days??????  Cause I've been counting down - From 45 more days, to 44 more days, to 43 more days, etc..........
I've been planning on counting down till THE BIG DAY......
Then I plan on counting forward.........
Maybe I should say looking forward........
Because THAT is what I need to start doing -
LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING A BETTER ME......
LOOKING FORWARD TO BEING A TRUE ME........
"Be True To Yourself"......
Easier said then done - But it's time to try....

Okay people.........
We're in for a bumpy ride but here we go.........
Hopefully some of you who are reading this are willing to hang in there with me to help my on my little journey........   Cause some of you have heard me say it before and I'll say it one more time.......
THAT is who I need in my life  -  People who are there to inspire me, to encourage me, to tell me it's okay to just be ME..........

Hugs to those who are willing to be there.........
And
Kiss my ass to those who are not............
