Spotted Canary Class

Hello Everyone,

Sorry for the late post, my week last week was super busy. On a typical week I see any where from 15-25, people last week I saw 42.  Needless to say by the time I got home from work, I wanted to eat dinner and go to bed. I did nothing last week.  My house looked like a bomb went off in it but I did not care.  I am fully registered for my scrapbooking class that I have been trying to do since December. I finally get to start it on Sunday I went to Michael's today to get my rainbow colour selector and my calligraphy set and I found the worlds best deal.  I came across a scrapbooking tote on wheels with 17 piece storage set inside.  It was regularly $169.99 and I got it for $44.99 cause the company was discontinuing that model.  Of course I grabbed it.  I can't image what fun things I am going to learn in the class and what fun projects that it will help me to create.  I am starting my wine making this Friday I am picking up two batches so that I can get one started and in two weeks when I can take the wine from the plastic bucket and put it in the carboy and then I can start the second batch.  Then another pay period will come around and I can pick up two more.  I will need to make 6 batches in total to fill all the bottles I have in the house.  That way I won't have to go to the brand new super sized LCBO and spend a fortune on wine when I can make it for $2 a bottle roughly instead of $6-14 a bottle for the stuff I like.  Also it is always nice to have wine in the house because you never know when family or friends will pop over and you can always offer them wine in the spring and summer cause nothing beats sitting out on the patio and having a nice glass of wine and kicking your feet up. Plus it is always good for dinner parties too.  So I will have a couple projects on the go in May. My wine and my scrapbooking class plus I have a course I am taking in May and June to help me to be an even better nurse.  I am going to be busy this next month but I think it will be a blast then it is camping season.  Bring it on.

Where to Start

Hi Everyone,

Firstly, I want to apologize with how lax I have been with my blog. One week I have a complete bitch session and then the next I am stating that I went away and really haven't got to my crafts that I wanted to do.  I honestly can say that I have not done much of anything but work since I have come back from vacation.  The scrapbooking class that I wanted to take is running again in May so likely when I get paid on Friday I will be going to get registered for that.  Then maybe that will bring me out of my funk.  I have just have had no drive to do much of anything.  I have books I want to read, I have scrapbooking I want to do, I have to start thinking about getting my vegetable garden prep'd and ready to go and I have to win the lottery so that I can bank roll this.  I joke about the lottery a lot but someone once said to me " you want to win the lottery but you never pay so how do you expect to win". My answer (which makes total sense to me at least) I either find a winning ticket by chance or someone I know and love wins it big and wants to share.  I know the likelihood of me playing and winning are just about as good of odds as me finding the winning ticket by chance.
But back to my funk....I have been in so deep I can honestly say I have not been on pintrest in weeks. While that is not entirely true I went on last Wednesday night to grab a recipe but I did not pin a thing and I am a huge pintrest junkie.  I am asking all of you where do I start? What do I to get out of this funk?  Spring and Summer are just around the corner and I am looking forward to it but not as much as normal.  My hubby is pumped for race season, I have friends planning camping, friends getting married, and friends buying boats.  Then there is me in my near future I see work and bills.  Yeah...not  Please help with the de-funking process. I am all ears...while not literally that would be weird.
