Spring Cleaning
Goodness, I didn’t realise I would be away quite that long. Spring seems to be announcing it is here, despite messing with us (and the cherry blossoms) by giving us short-sleeve weather one day and enough snow to sledge the next. This morning it is ever so sunny, so this bodes well. Every year the winter seems to be a little longer, especially when it’s just cold and dark rather than snowy. Making it through seems like something tiny and feels like something bigger. I don’t mind that I still need a jacket right now—there is light! Also, the sun sets just early enough that you can really enjoy watching everything go pink and orange. Like a big sky of embroidery.
Thank you so much to everyone who made ScrapFever one of the most wonderful experiences ever. Amy, you’re a star and I am so honoured to be asked to teach. Girls, all of you made me remember why I love this so much. It’s been a long time since so many people were so happy about paper and cameras and stories. It felt like the good old days, and yet so many of you were new scrappers. New scrappers…this alone was brilliant. I could gush all day, but I will just say again: thank you.
Lots of lovely spring things are happening. We’ve been getting our flat into order, largely by following this idea called The Cure (and yes, I was quite upset that it didn’t come with a Robert Smith soundtrack specially chosen to help you clean your house of dust and depression…though on second thought, that might be a very difficult mix to create) and as a result there is a lot of in-the-middle going on in our flat, but it’s going in the right direction. So that’s lovely. The Jayhawks won the championship, in the first year I haven’t followed March Madness since I moved away from Kansas. So that’s lovely. And I heard from an old friend who I had lost touch with many years ago, and that was definitely lovely.
Don’t be mistaken into thinking that everything is sane in this loveliness, however. If I also mention that I am in the middle of dresses, shoes, invitations, catering, photographers, flowers and other such things, you will remember that while I’ve been calmly doing other things, I was supposed to be planning my wedding! And in fact, I did a lot of planning and not enough of getting done so…things are getting done now. One by one. All will be ready. All will be fine. All will be lovely.
But today, I better get something done!!!
Please oh please: tell me a little wedding story in the comments. Over the past year I’ve learned most girls really want to talk about their wedding but they don’t because they are being modest and polite and don’t want to indulge on telling these stories. Today I say: indulge! Tell! Lovely little wedding stories, yes pretty please.
