I just realized that 12/1 is a Sunday, so send outs are Monday 12/2.
I am going to craft my butt off this weekend. What is everyone else up to this weekend?

Between now and weekend will be lots of practice to get things right. Also probably another craft storev run becauseā¦ why not? (I have supplies for item Aā¦ BUT! If I go shopping again I can make it Xmas themed). Snow, project avoidance, other happenings may determine which I go with lol

I have my crafted item done. I had ordered a used book and while it said it was in very good condition, it was NOT. so I sent it back and am waiting on a new order. I still have to get a snack and am deciding on extras.

Ooops!!! I just realized Iāve been forgetting to check in; Iām sorry 
I have completed my craft item and I wrapped the book yesterday. I have added a few extras as well. Now I just need to get the snack. Then itāll be off to UPS 
Iāve been reading āForgotten Warriors.ā Itās a very well-researched book about womenās military contributions throughout history and why theyāre not recognized as such.
For fiction, Iām reading āThe Sound of Silence.ā Itās a Young Adult novel about a CODA, and itās loosely based on the authorās life.
I started reading āGriffin & Sabineā but had to return it to the library before I finished it. Such a neat concept. Itās in the form of letters and postcards between the two people. One of them can see the art the other creates in their mind.
Probably Anne of Green Gables. She got into many āscrapesā but her life is so beautiful Also, somewhat related, Anne with an E totally ruined the bookā¦ the original mini series was excellent and true to the original story. My main beef with Anne with an E is the flashbacks. Anneās backstory of not-so-great adults in her life was very subtle and only hinted at once in the book, and not from her perspective.
I tend to use paper ones because theyāre widely available, though I would love to have an āunfortunate animalā bookmark some day 
I do also use reservation slips form the library quite often, because thatās usually where I get my books, and theyāre already stuck in there, soā¦
I have been ill for several weeks. I went to urgent care yesterday, they did a lung x-ray and it was clear. The doctor thinks Iāve just caught several viruses back-to-back. She did; however, give me a different inhaler for my asthma, and Iām very grateful, because Iāve suspected for months that my current one isnāt working as it should. She also gave me a cough syrup for night time so I can sleep, but I still woke up in a coughing fit at 3 a.m. Hereās hoping it works tonight and that Iām better tomorrow, because I really wanted to go to the library staff Christmas party 
Hope youāre feeling better, @Wildblue. Seems like itās that time of yearā¦
@EclecticDreamer sending you calming vibes 
Tomorrow is my husbandās birthday. Iām really looking forward to giving him his gift. I did a little craft to present it, since itās not something that can really be wrapped.
Tomorrow is the Library Workers Union Christmas Party, butā¦ I may not make it because of all this coughing
We are getting close to send outs!!! Is everyone ready?

Nowhere near ready lol. Though I have all the supplies for a make. Or three? I kinda went overboard on buying craft supplies I prob didnāt need for ALL my ideas because shiny! On the bright side if one is a total fail I have others to fall back on.

So i have books, snacks, and about half of a craft finished. I am probably going to have to send out Monday, but am trying to aim for Friday.

I have chosen my books, nearly chosen a treat, and have planned and started my craft. I definitely wonāt be sending earlier than Monday. My job is incredibly busy the week before Thanksgiving.

I have finished wrapping everything and put it in a bubble mailer. I will likely be going to UPS tomorrow to mail it.

Dang it. Just realized all my newly bought craft supplies are in my car. Iām nice, comfy, and warm inside. 
So much for crafting tonight. At least on specific items.

Package sent! I PMād the packing slip with tracking number to my partner and the organizer
I got the book, but havenāt made the thingy yet. 
The craft didnāt work out (again) but i was able to salvage a couple extras from the attempt. Luckily I got one more backup plan. Itās bigger than I expected but hopefully it should work.
