Creative Side...Fed

I spent the majority of my day doing something I've just learned that I love.
I wrote a blog a little over a week ago about something I've been wanting to do lately (you can read it here).


I got to do it today!!


I made jewelry with some of the girls from the college group (Oh man...this could seriously be a dangerous hobby for me). I could have spent all day in Joann picking out different beads...and I hear Michael's has an even BIGGER selection! I bought some beautiful beads, gold and silver nylon wire, crimp beads, and gold and silver toggle clasps. We spent over 2 hours creating some beautiful masterpieces. I made two necklaces (I will upload pics tomorrow. The hubby is sleeping and the necklaces are hanging up in our bedroom). I was extremely happy with how they turned out. I have some other beads that I bought that I didn't use that I am already dreaming up ideas for.
It was so relaxing and enjoyable for me. I found much joy in it. It made me feel like I was fulfilling a huge need in my life. I suppose that life test may have been right all along.


On a side note, I am really excited about some fun things coming in the near future. I have mixed feelings about my birthday...but I think that's just normal. I always feel a little happy and a little sad when it's time for another birthday. This year has to beat last year, though (you can read that blog here). But, there's a trip to Disneyland in the near future, our third wedding anniversary, retreats, and so many other wonderful things to look forward to. It's going to be a good year...and it's just getting started.
