i am DONE. had to make just one more little crafty craft, but i got it done last night, and then picked up a little more chocolate, that i hope is as good as it looks, and with the momentum still running, i got my butt down to the p.o. and sealed the deal!!! because i know full well that i definitely wonā€™t want to any day after work this weekā€¦ so there is THAT upside to working saturdays: mondays are a great day to get ALL. the. things. DONE.

I have admittedly had some crafting snafus. But a few tries later I think Iā€™m on the right track!

I think there was a question about what book we are reading right now? Iā€™m currently reading Ready Player One!

That is such a good book! I loved all the 80s references.

We read that in my book club and everyone really liked it and then we went as a group to the movie and mostly there was disappointment.

Typical. :roll_eyes:

I am just waiting for Mr. Road to be in the office again so he can ship from work for me. Crossing my fingers for tomorrow!

My collecting (except for picking up the local chocolate) is complete. I have the supplies for my initial craft, but need to spoil @kittykill a bit more. I received a fantastic package yesterday! I should be able to post photos this afternoon :slight_smile:

I tried to send today and realized it was Labor Day and the Post Office is closed. I think I will try the machine at the Post Office near my house today after work. I am in the facility today. Fingers crossed. I have never used the machine.

I checked the tracking this morning, turns out mine and my partnerā€™s packages spent this morning in the same sorting facility. I wonder if they met :blush:

Sending today was foiled by Veteranā€™s Day. Dā€™oh! Oh well. Iā€™m ok with waiting a day to celebrate those who have served.

one part is mainly done, but I had to go buy something to finish it off, so made a trek to Hobby Lobby & yarn hopped into my basket somehow :stuck_out_tongue:
(imagine that! ā€“ some of you may know thatā€™s an obsession of mine)
letā€™s seeā€¦ideas nailed down for the other little parts and I found a local-ish choc shop; just need to get over there & select the right one! and Iā€™m sure some taste testing will
be required
and books have arrived & are patiently waiting to be packed up

I sent out yesterday. I went to a local chocolate shop thatā€™s been around for more than a century. My SIL always buys me chocolate from them on my birthday and my DS2 always steals it. Ah, good times. :joy:

Anyway, now Iā€™m just really excited for it to get to you, @geekgirl! I do hope you like everything.

I have the weekend mostly free (pretty much nothing to grade since I just started a new term with mostly new students), so other than some household chores and lesson planning Sunday night, I can craft this weekend! I didnā€™t get much done last night- found out that I had a COVID positive student in class on Monday and Tuesday, so I was too unsettled to craft.

But, tomorrow itā€™s a crafty kind of day!

Iā€™m pretty sure I have everything I need to make what I want to make!
