I have to admit that my week has not been made of awesome. Lots of long hours away from home and not enough time to sit and chill, which always makes me cranky and stressed out. Next week (and the weeks following) look to be more of the same, but I'm trying not to think about that right now and instead focusing on having a fun weekend before Monday hits and it all starts over again. I'll be heading to my niece's birthday party tomorrow, spending some crafty time in the scrap room, running (the only way I keep sane at times like this), and reading a Star Wars book while lounging in the back yard. Yeah, sounds like a good weekend. :)
It's really a good thing that I plan these posts a bit in advance, otherwise it probably wouldn't have happened tonight! But here's the usual round of crafty picks, all ready to inspire you this weekend.
