Ok so I have been really sick for the past 10 days. I went to the Doctor and he is "running some tests" but while "he" does that (I know he just sends stuff off to have other people check) I am at home miserable. Actually I am feeling a lot better today... Hopefully I am on the mend. BUT I knew I was really sick because today now that I feel a bit better, I actually WANTED to clean my house.
I never WANT to do that, it is just something that needs to get done. So I do it. After everything else I want/need to get done that day. Not that my house is a mess all the time. I make my girls do something they don't want to do everyday... sometimes that is drinking a glass of milk, or helping their sister with homework, a small chore around the house. Something. Just to prepare them for the days ahead... you know of having to clean a house, go to work etc. The not so fun things in life that just need to be done. I don't want to. Well normally. Today I wanted to clean it, it made me feel normal. I like feeling normal. Funny thing is I also knew I was sick for the week when I didn't even want to craft. Nothing sounded fun. I just wanted to be in my bed sleeping life away. I read a bit. I didn't watch T.V though. I guess I wasn't THAT sick! (I hardly ever turn the TV on!)
Anyway this is just a post to prove that I am still alive and will be back crafting soon. I did make one thing, but I can't share it with you until next Monday. It is for the FCCB :) So for now I have a couple of pics of something I have been working on that isn't quite a craft.
Really?

I am getting more organized. Here is the inside of my craft room closet. I am so proud. (me flashing a big smile!)
Here is the other half of the closet! YES that is carpet that you can see!
I got this idea from The Little Green Bean. I just went to the dollar store picked up some foam board and cut it into six equal rectangles. To get the full tutorial go here. They used a bookshelf.
I didn't have a bookshelf or room for a book shelf, but I did have the top shelf of a closet and some boxes. Sorry about the shadow on this pic. This seriously makes me happy to look at it. Some people might like to look out the window at a beautiful sunset (actually I like that too...) but I get that same feeling when I look into my closet! I know I have issues... ;)
Jenae, sorry to hear that you haven't been feeling well. Looks like you got a lot accomplished today! Hope you get back to feeling like yourself and back to crafting soon! Look forward to seeing your project!
