hi folks! finals are finally over, granny is doing okay and FCXL has happened! it has been a crazy last few days and i am so so so tired. loopy even! i want to write up a perfectly perfect account of all the FCXL festivities and how i met some cool, nifty, super adorable crafty ladies and scored some amazing craftiness at the event but the loopiness and granny stress has taken a big bite out of my drive...ya know? i will share bits and pieces as i work on pulling my life back into focus. i will. i better...there is much to do for festivities here...faux trees to decorate, granny to visit, cookies to bake, stockings to stuff and wee gifties to wrap...yikes! not much time, i had better shake my gifted arse.
but for now...
FCXL was incredibly fabulous. many thanks to sewdarncute for her effortles energy and problem solving skills. you kick major bootie lady! more shout outs and thanks to ms. jessee of art school dropout for the amazing necklace! I LURVE IT...oh and to ms. joleenie for the handmade birdie and super sweet note! high fives and excited squeals to the illustrious mypapercrane who is even niftier, spunkier and sweeter in person. i thank you for putting up with my excessive chatter as i dragged you, the katie lady and jessee all over l.a.! (say hullo to katie for me, i loved meeting all of you and hope you come back for some swap meet shopping and photoboothing!)...boogie dancing and hula hooping yays for the goofy pleasure of meeting ms. marie from the sampler and disco dancing joy for the nifty conversations with jen of beebalou. and of course lots of fits and giggles to all the rest...i had a blast hanging out with everyone and wished i could have done more shopping! i scored some amzing gifties for my january swap-o-rama person!
stay tuned tomorrow when i recount my most fabulous fall in front of oodles of people...i even made up a broadway inspired tune bout it. too bad i can't carry one...;)
happy december everyone!

the week in review: november 27-december 4
boy howdy have we been busy felt clubbin' it or what? i even strained my thumb cutting felt. it was a busy week of school chaos and evilness and felt club crafting. i like to work in a manic fluster of activity but artboy prefers to have it all planned out so this weekend wasn't without it's stresses.
we stitched and sewed and cut and frosted. we visited with granny and picked up a zillion boxes of animal crackers for my portland PSA presentation. for my geology class we have to do a public service announcement for a city and its (it's?) natural hazards and we chose portland, oregon and earthquakes. if that cascadian zone shifts, you folks are in for some trouble! and me being me, i didn't gel with the idea of a brochure...we're giving out cookies with the info you will need...in my head it looks quite spiffy but who knows if i can pull it off?
this week we have more stitching and such and i have finals next week so yeah, it is crazy and of course i decided to host ms. heidi from my paper crane and company for breakfast until they could check into their hotel room. i am so excited to meet such fabulously crafty ladies. SO EX CITE ED!
if you are in or near the los angeles area do not miss out on FELT CLUB XL! come check us out!

swaporama rama
january's swaporama is up and the color theme is red & white! i am very excited about this theme, too many ideas. having all these ideas isn't really helpful as it is officially crunch time for FCXL...what was i thinking to wait so long to make anything? plus finals are coming up...yikes! i have decided to do one more semester before transfering to Pacific Oaks. there are some english classes i want to take. children's lit and creative non-fiction for starters. if i am going to be spending the bulk of my pacific oaks time writing, i better brush up on it!
ooh, good news for me at least, i have come up with the second part of one of my children's stories...it has taken me years for this story to develop as i can't just sit and write, i think about it and i recite what i have over and over and over again until the next part pops into my head and sometimes a brand spanking new character will speak to me...it is quite frazzling but i really want to fous on this more. focus being the key word.
time to hit the post office to send in a zillion packages! i hope it is still open today...happy saturday!
