I have so many cool things that I am working on that my head woke me up at 4 am this morning!
I just laid there in bed, working through all the things that I need to do in my head. So when my little man wanted to get up at 5:20, I was okay with it.
What am I working on? Here are some of the things:
Lego Party for my 12 year old
Travel Party
End of Year Banquet for my Mom's Club
Mom's Club Newsletter (due on Monday)
(at least) 2 Science Fair Projects with my kids
Finishing my Disney Album from last year before I go this year
Just Between Friends Consignment Sale
Trip to the snow
Blog post about creating an Altered Book Invitation
I think that there may be more, but my head is spinning right now! Wish me luck and I hope to have my blog post up soon about the cool way to invite someone to a party.
Follow along with me on how to do everything from cake designing, scrapbooking, sewing and more. Learn how to figure out fun, creative projects for yourself.

Book review: "The Friday Night Knitting Club" by Kate Jacobs
Here is my review from the book that I finished in January:
The Friday Night Knitting Club by Kate Jacobs
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I decided to pick up this book since so many people suggested it. All in all it was a "good" book. Not really my style, but it did keep my interest for the most part. There was a lot about knitting in it that maybe if I knitted, I would have found interesting. I did enjoy how knitting brought together women from multiple backgrounds and abilities, but I did not really "love" the main character, Georgia. I found her bad self-image hard to keep taking. All the self-doubt bothered me, so I just couldn't get into her. I know that most people, especially women, are plagued with huge amounts of self-doubt, but hers was a bit over the top.
I don't plan on reading any others in the series.

Book Review: "11/22/63" by Stephen King
I just finished Stephen King's new book and realized that I have not been updating my Good Reads site since last fall. So, although, I completed my goal for last year, it doesn't look like it. I am going to have to go in a update what all I read. I hope that I can remember it all! :)
11/22/63 by Stephen King
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a huge book by my favorite author. It took me a lot longer than his books normally take me. I found all that "history" hard to sift through. I thought he had an interesting theme though and I really enjoyed the parts that intersected his "It" storyline.
