Catching Up

WOW!  I can't believe how long it's been since my last post and Blogger has changed soo much! Life has been pretty much the same around here... still looking for a job... still working on the house...preparing for SteamCon III (the local Steampunk convention in October) and crafting when I can.

Well, I DID go to my 20 year (cough cough)  reunion and while I am glad I didn't have to pay for the tickets (BIG WASTE of money in regards to the food and venue)  I had a FANTASTIC time!!  It wasn't really anything about high school and kind of became this bragging contest about who you knew the longest.  Like who went to pre-school together.  I've actually gotten together with a few people since the reunion and NONE of them were people I was close with in high school.  It was a strange night!  But I am soo glad I went!  And I am looking forward to the end of October because one of my former classmates worked at a local stamp shop for over 10 years and still has all her supplies she bought over the years.  We are getting together for a BIG stamping day!

Craft nights are still going strong... we recently moved nights to Fridays and we are getting a little out of hand with the addition of jager bombs and cocktails. LOL.  This past Friday was all about Mustaches on a stick and Honeybadger.  LOL!!!

And tonight we just got back from celebrating Chuseok (aka Korean Thanksgiving) with friends!  Such a fun night and wonderful food!

OK, picture time!!

Craft Night getting out of hand.. and my new Steampunk Mustache on a stick!


Red paper flower

Lavender paper flower


Steampunk Necklace I made based off something I saw at Ben Franklin


Steampunk earrings.  The glass tubes are filled with tiny gears and pices from watches


Paper flowers made from pages of an Alice in Wonderland book



What have all of you been up to?  What are you working on?

I have an interview this week and an appointment at WorkSource... hopefully they can help me find something!

OK, if you haven't watched Honey Badger yet... please do so, but beware there is some foul language..

Honey Badger is bad ass! He's a craaaaaazy fool. We love him.
I didn't go to my 20 yr. reunion, I heard the 10 was bad. And with FB I figured I'm caught up with the ones I liked.
