P.S. - I was relaxing and spending time with husband. I was helping him play video games....which means he plays and I tell him what to do!! :) works well for me!!
I crafted so much in last two weeks going to try to take today off and just have a day off. Wish me luck. Waiting to hear on a graduation order I have coming in but hopefully it can wait till the weekend!
