on the plane, i come across many types of magazines. i enjoy flipping through various gossip mags, looking at all the pictures and reading the captions. i plan and dream about elaborate vacations when i look through travel magazines. occasionally i'll find an article i want to read in a news magazine. but some of my favorite finds are crafty/food/decorating magazines. among my favorite are real simple, martha stewart living, food and wine, and house beautiful.
as i look through the magazines the ideas start flowing though my head. i start ripping out recipes. i imagine how i would implement various decorating ideas in my home. i start making a list of materials i would need to make a certain craft. and what comes of most of these ideas are various pages torn out of magazines that lie around or get filed away.
i see these magazines or read blogs with amazing and creative ideas and often ask myself "how do people have time to do all of this?!" i would love to try out new, delicious recipes or making cute crafts, but i rarely do. i just feel like i don't have the time to get everything done! i suppose it's just one of those things where you have to make time. so i'm going to make it my goal to try one new recipe or make something crafty at least once a month!

It does take time...and money. But it is good for the soul. You can do it!
i like that idea! can you just plan to make two of everything and pass one along to me? i'll pay for my share! (and maybe buy you wine to compensate for your time)
it's hard to find the time sometimes with our job but I think you'll find that you will feel better after you do something crafty.
