I tried something new on Friday evening. A group of us from work got together at a Stampin' Up demonstrator's house to make 20 holiday cards. I dabbled briefly in scrapbooking when I first moved out to Oregon, but I never learned anything formally, and I've never done much else in the way of paper crafts. I wasn't exactly sure what to expect, and it was nice to do this with a group of people I know. Mary's house was set up with a large classroom downstairs. We all rotated around 6 tables to make 6 different-designed cards. It was really fun! Of course, this opens up another new door for me--sending Christmas cards. I've never done it. It always seemed like one of those things people do just because they think they have to do it. If I'm not doing something that has a real meaning, I generally don't do it. Now that I have cards that I made myself, I'm looking forward to sending them out.
Saturday we did some preparatory shopping for our trip to Maui. I got my own fins, mask, and snorkel so that I won't have to rent them. It's one of those things where if you snorkel often enough, it's fiscally advantageous to take the plunge and buy your own gear. Thanksgiving Day, our departure date, won't come soon enough, but it sure is getting close!
Sunday has turned into a "neaten up the house" day. We aren't doing full-fledged cleaning since that just happened a few weeks ago (and if you've ever been to our house, you know that we don't really clean it that often). But it is nice to pick things up every once in awhile so that we can at least see the tabletop, counters, and closet floor. :)
