Hi friends!
Wow has it been a busy few days! I am a bit behind in my blogging lately, but will do my best to catch up soon. I've been a busy bee.
My youngest daughter is a 5th grader (already) and traditionally her school holds a "celebration" event at the end of the year before the class heads off to middle school for 6th grade. It's usually quite an event, with memory books, a ceremony, cake, class speakers, t-shirts, a slide show, certificates, etc. Well, guess who's in charge of the event this year?
It's me!
I had kind of been doing that "wait and see if someone else volunteers" thing, but since no one did, I decided I'm going to run with it. Now, normally the planning starts in January, so we are a bit behind and the last few days has been me trying to play catch up a bit and hold our first planning meeting and our first fund raiser. I know it will be a fun event, but it may mean I'm a bit crazy come May--especially designing the memory book and collecting all the info for it.
I also finished knitting the blanket I told you about, completing the work started by a friend from church who lost her battle with cancer. I am so glad to be able to get that back into the family's hands in hopes that it will be a special rememberance of their mom.
And, if that's not enough, our van broke down during carpool, I had a birthday (which I spent knitting and relaxing for the most part), and I helped with a book fair at my older daughter's school.
But, as busy as it all is, I am loving my life right now. I feel so thankful to be able to have enough time to take on projects like blankets to knit, book fairs, and 5th grade events. And, how awesome to get to tell you about wonderful books too!
Pretty busy bee, but pretty happy too!
