Where Has the Time Gone?

Oh my! Where has the time gone. It's been nearly two months since I posted here. Well lets see, there was all that flurry of activity making 22 beaded ornaments for my grand children and great grand children, and since I was making new designs there was the time it took to make the patterns, then of course as the patterns were made I just had to upload them to BeadPatternsBoutique.com and The BeadCoop.com to share them with others (and make a few dollars in the process). Then the "beadin' bug" got hold of me and I made some earring patterns and uploaded them also. . . so I haven't been doing much writing except for pattern instructions.

Today I got an e mail saying I'd been nominated for Giant Squid on Squidoo. ???How'd that happen? I only have 12 lenses. The deadline for applying for Giant Squid is December 31 and you have to have 50 lenses to qualify. Not gonna happen. Still it's a great honor knowing the lenses I do have are worthy of the recognition. Maybe next year.

My mind is already shifting from bead mode to writing and I have general outlines in my head for a couple of beading related lenses and one health related one. Now to just get them to stop spinning around in my brain so I can focus on one. For right now though, I've got to clear a place and set up my Christmas tree or my grand daughter will be over here accusing me of being depressed. Can't have that. I'm just cold! The extra physical activity should relieve that!
