Things I want to accomplish...

...before the end of my 40th year.
1. Go to Florida to see my nephews and I guess my sister too
2. Find a hobby besides reading or watching digital entertainment
3. Make more connections with friends and family, break down part of my isolation wall
4. Read my Bible more
5. Practice my leadership skills at work and church

That may not seem like a lot and some I've already been doing but for a natural lazy, introverted person it seems pretty big.

When other people get creative...

... all I have to do is talk about it! The library's Creative Creations program was last night and Mary & Jeanne did an awesome job! I was asked to blog about it as my sister was ill and not able to attend. Since she got the majority of the creative juice in our family I thought this photo array would provide a lot of juice!

The whole room was decorated for Christmas yet was relaxing and didn't make me panic about how close 12/25 is.

This is the paperback snowman created out of a 400 pg paperback book. I could recommend several authors whose books would qualify!

A Candy Christmas will be available for bids during the Friends of the Library's Celebration of the Trees silent auction Dec. 2-4th!

Candles were the craft du jour this year. Iced candles made from candle leftovers or from brand new ingredients make an aromatic centerpiece.

If you missed the night you missed a lot but we still have Christmas craft and decoration books available at the library! Plan for next November's Creative Creation including your own Creative Show and Tell!
