aim for the stars and maybe you'll read the sky . . .

 

i like to aim for 8 projects with my jbs mercantile kit each month.  it's a rather lofty goal, but sometimes i actually reach it.  i think i did last month.  not sure about this month yet.  i have 5 done so far.  i'm sure to have 6 since that one is 75% done.  i have another idea in my head that really wants to come out, so 7 is a definite maybe.  and i've printed pics for another one.  go doris go!

 

i mentioned this one already; my summer goal is to get the spring cleaning, purging, and reorganizing done before school starts back in the fall.  this will make the quality of our lives so much better.  really.  i got a little excited those first couple weeks and thought i might actually have it all done before went to florida.  another lofty goal.  i almost made it too.  i just have a few things to do in the living room (wash couch cushions, steam carpet, clean ac closet) and several things to do in the back bedroom aka oversized catchall.  it's not happening since we're leaving tomorrow, but i'm confident i can get it done before my neat freak sister comes for a visit mid-july.  this is my new target.

 

i've been planning on leaving for florida sometimes this weekend.  earlier in the week i toyed with the idea of even going halfway today.  yea.  that didn't happen.  but tomorrow morning looks very promising!  i've done haircut, ticketing, car cleaning,  jiffylube, laundry, fridge emptying, and house tidying.  ok, so the packing isn't done so the 8:30 departure might not happen, but 10:00 is a sure thing!

 

i committed to 3 months without any unneccessary scrappy purchases and now i've gone almost 6!  wowzas!  i can hardly believe it myself.  feels good to have my creative area under control again.  (ali had a post about this very thing this week).  only 4 days till my self-imposed shopping freeze is lifted.  i think i'll let myself get a little something, but honestly i think i've developed a little discipline about it.  we shall see . . .
