Life has been crazy but I am excited about rejoining the Games this season. I found out I am going to be doing a lot of traveling for work between now and Christmas so I will need to plan ahead and bring supplies with me.

I cannot believe what a washout this summer season of the Games was for me! I have never gone a whole summer without making a bunch of things, which just goes to show how mentally draining teaching was from March 2020-June 2021. I stopped being a union rep for my building, which has been a huge relief! I also decided (in year 28 of teachingā¦I donāt know why it took me so long) to leave all school papers that need to be graded at school. I always lug them home, donāt touch them, but feel guilty about it, so I donāt let myself do anything fun, and lug them back to school. Iām going to stay late a couple of days a week to get them done and so far, itās worked pretty well.
This leaves my evenings free for more creative pursuits! So, I should be more involved in this season, which makes me happpy.

Yeah, I have not been productive with my crafting lately at ALL. Iām blaming it on the move, but I think a lot of it is just the overall stress thatās affecting everyone right now. Iām trying to start up again, and am of course in the middle of four new projects right now without even finishing my older WIPs. 
Letās see when I actually FINISH something!

I finished up working on a swap item today so I will add that once they receive. I have some ideas for the rest of the prompts too. My month will be very busy, but hopefully I can stick to my plan.
Thanks for the prompts! I needed to motivation. Now I need to settle on a team.

If you get the battle done for the month, you can always post the rest later if you need to 
I am looking forward to all of the projects that Iām sure will be posted this season. I canāt wait to share some of my projects from the 12 Days of Christmas swap in December!

Today, I had a project all set to go (itās from a kit), but it turned out I needed additional supplies. Iāll have to be a little creative for one part, because one of the supplies is something I canāt get my hands on (the kit is from 2014ā¦), but I have a couple of ways I can tackle it.

I kept getting Journey stuck in my head, so I decided I had to go with 
Donāt Stop Beleafing. It was a hard choice though.

I am also going with Donāt Stop Be-Leafing! The changing of the leaves and kicking through a pile of fallen leaves on the sidewalk are some of my favorite things in the fall

Your dodo headed, emu brained Nerd Games captain forgot to post the first advent prompt for the season. It is supposed to be posted every Sunday, so please, do not hesitate to send me a message if I havenāt posted by Monday. There will be a total of 12 prompts in all. Thank you @craftADDchick for reminding me this week! I appreciate it!
The October 3 Advent prompt is: * Oct 3 - migration - craft something that has feathers, that has a bird, that changes colors, that either travels (i.e. mail envelope) or is used for traveling.

Would anyone like a āJarā of Whimsy? (Various miniatures, weird, and random small things.) I say āJar,ā but it will be a box of some sort for safer shipping. I have too much! If there is such a thing! Here is my whimsy wall. It wonāt include anything pictured, but items of the sort. I could send out up to two! If anyone wants a little box of fun and surprise, let me know and Iāll mail them next week. No conditions or reciprocation necessary!

Wow! Iām impressed that you were able to fill up 3 of those displays! I have one, and I donāt have enough for it, just yet. My mom filled hers up years ago by very diligently looking for items. I tend to get items as I randomly run across them, which explains why mine isnāt done. Not that I have a spot to hang it right now, anyway! I actually downloaded the photo of yours so I could really look at what you have. It looks like you have some neat vintage items in there!
Iāll have to think about where I could hang mine so I can start collecting for it again But, Iām not ready yet, so Iām not requesting a boxā¦ tempting as it is
