What a DAY! Brutal coming back from a nice weekend, but this was a little nutty, even by my standards. Here I sit, laptop in front of me, candle and matches next to me. Kinda a Laura Ingalls Wilder sorta night. Regardless, I was able to sketch a little on the trip. Here's some Newport Beach for you. We also got a copy of the VERY LOVELY Amy S. Foster's new novel "When Autumn Leaves" (clever, sure, but what else do you expect from a CraftLit listener?!). I read the back and am already hooke...

To say we are all exhausted is such an understatement I'm just going to take it as read that you know that, and move on. It was great! Amazing! (Did I mention I'm tired?)

Chapter 12 of The Scarlet Letter. Today Thing 1 leaves for the Galapagos Islands with his grandparents and I receive that horrible weepy phone call every parent dreads. Thing 2 and I get another crafty weekend and I share video of his first dance recital. Tonight, watching a splashy dance number he announces that all he wants to do is be on TV. Have we created a monster or was he doomed from the start? Kewl pics from Burton's Alice in Wonderland (oooh, ahhhh...or eeek! ugh!); fave sock ...
