A Note From Michelle 4-27-24

April 27, 2024

Hi Everyone,

I'm not sure how we are at the point where May is here. Work is crazy, school is crazy, and there are endless events/obligations. We are about to celebrate so many things in the next month and a half and it is full speed ahead.

In the midst of the chaos, I always find a way to add things to my plate. Sometimes those things are a bit more involved than I realize. This year is no different. Both of my kids are "graduating" this year and I have volunteered to help with some behind the scenes things for the ceremony. Little did I realize the amount of coordination and time it was going to take. One of those projects that I thought would be a simple afternoon of putting things together is a bit more than that. So this weekend, I'll be making a game plan to start that this week in hopes that it comes together easier than I am expecting.

In addition, I may have decided that it would be a great time to invest in a Cricut. I had an opportunity that was too good to pass up, so I took the plunge. As I have gone down this new path in crafting, I have NO idea what I'm doing. I have some projects that I would like to do and in theory this will be the perfect way to tackle some ideas I have and inspire some new ones along the way. BUT, let's be realistic, the timing is laughable. If I have time to start one of these great ideas before summer vacation, it will be a big surprise. All in all, I do think this will be something fun and I think my daughter will be excited to see what we can do. If any of you are masters (or even are slightly good at this), feel free to send me all the resources and tips. I want to know how to make this a success!

As you head into the month of May, don't follow my lead and take too many things on. Balance is key!

Have a great week!
Michelle
