Out of the Groove

It's been a long time since I've had some craft time or time where I didn't feel guilty for doing something I wanted to do. Oh sure, I've painted the bathroom recently, fell off the ladder and had to have Wayne help me finish my project ;-( Somehow that just wasn't what I was thinking of. I used to love to get out my paints and paint, or scrapbook or just create something for my house. Lately it feels like we are pulled a million directions once we get home from work and we just don't have the "spare" time we used to have. I know that's crazy since our kids are all out on their own now - I totally agree. In fact I probably feel worse about the whole thing simply because of that fact. Anyhow, I've had this frame sitting around waiting for me to finish filling it with pins and other things from our travels. I finally did it. I have pins from our world travels as well as money from all over. There are some Russian Rubels, Danish Krons, Euros, Pesos, Polynesian money, Cayman Island $ and Tahitti $. I thought it made for a cute display in this shaddow box. And better yet it gave me a place to put this little collection, and I felt like I was creating - simple but creating all the same. It actually felt good.
