So, my husband says that I should blog everyday...He reminded me that it's been since Sunday...

So, I've been at my new store since Monday. My boss is nice, my co-workers are nice, and I'm one of the few girls!! I'm working on getting in my groove and getting my systems down at work. I worked slowly but surely through the mounds of paperwork that has gathered over the past years...I got new binders, new dividers, and threw a ton of old ones away. It was nice to try to make MY place in the store. I have my own desk, my own bulletin board, and two filing cabinets. I'm not really sure how I'll use all of that space now that I got rid of most of the paperwork that was filling them...I'm sure that I'll figure something out.

Enough about work, I found the GREATEST sale on crazy fabric at JoAnn's. I have been looking at all of these dolls in Flickr.com. They always have the greatest colors and fabrics. Well, I've found some GREAT fabric that I can mix and match and make some goodies. I'm just excited about being off on Friday so that I can try out a few things. I have a swap coming up that is themed 'bag of goodies'. You are supposed to use all of your scraps to make a little bag and fill it up with goodies. Well, I won't be using scraps - just some of my new fabrics in pieces and parts...I'll take some pictures when I get them all done.

My last craft - shrinky dinks...I just can't seem to find HOW/WHAT to do with them that fits into my kind of crafting. I can only think of how to use them as 'adornments'...I just can't seem to get into this go round. I'm going to put them away and come back to them when I'm feeling inspired or see something different made with them...Maybe I should host a shrinky dink swap...I'm afraid that everyone would just send a little circle charm - I'd like to see a little creativity.

Anyway, I'm headed to bed - an early day tomorrow...THEN I'll be able to start some cute fabric crafting...


Enjoy!!
