It's been forever since I posted on my personal blog and that's because I really haven't been doing much besides working and reading (not that this is a bad thing at all). But summer has changed that this year. I have already done several trips...two book signings and two camping trips and I have at least one more vacation and possibly a camping trip to go.
Over the last few days my creative juices have started flowing and I think tomorrow I'm going to hit Roger's Sale (one of the local Flea Markets) to see if I can let some of those juices flow. See I have this small apartment and not that much storage but that's okay because after a year of being in the apartment I have a little bit of time to work in it now.
I don't know that I will be able to do the major projects this trip since I think I'm going alone and my little car won't carry anything too big, let alone me alone...lol! Tomorrow I think I'm going to tackle a couple smaller projects if I can find the things I need for said projects. Here are some of the projects I plan to tackle are:
Wall shelf/pot or pan hanging area
A blanket rack
A chair with a back for my work desk
A bin for packages for the porch (because otherwise packages are tripped over)
If I see something else I think would be cool I will definitely be picking it up. I am in love with maps so if I see any old ones I will most likely buy them as well. I would love to find a medium/large dresser that I can use as a pantry in the kitchen but like I said small car and just me can't manage that one yet. Plus I'm still debating on that. I may do some rearranging, buy another tall bookshelf and use shutters to close them off! (Yes I have been watching too many flip related shows...lol).
I am still currently working almost 70 hours a week while reading and blogging so why not throw in some fun and creative crafts. Oh and lets not forget that I have two books that I need to work on edits and rewrites for. I finished one book at the end of last year and a short story back in May but I just haven't been able to bring myself to work on them. I don't know whether it is because I just don't have the time and energy or whether it is because I just can't seem to feel the same emotions with the direction I need to take the books. Either way I think I need to jump back into that as well.
Well since it is almost 2:30 in the morning and I have a crazy day ahead of me tomorrow I am going to leave you wondering what my plans are and go to bed. I will hopefully remember to get on and let you all know how the trip went but we'll see what time it is when I get home and how tired I am.
HERE'S TO HOPING I FIND SOME AMAZING DEALS TOMORROW THAT WILL WORK IN THE LIMITED SPACE I HAVE!!!!
