Selfish? Nah!

Well,some may say it is selfish to do what you want, when you want...And I just have to say that it feels good to do that sometimes! I have spent the last 2 weekends and a 1 weeknight ( at a Stampin Up party) scrapbooking and stamping & I loved it!!
I feel pretty good about my progress. Someday I'll try to post some page layouts or cards. Both of the crops I've went to have been totally awesome, the best I've ever been to. We made paper bag books & tag books out of a file folder & some other stuff at the first crop I went to. It was in Greentown, to benefit the Childrens Library. This last crop was a 24 hr crop. I went home and slept from 2:30 am to 7am. It was sponsored by a Stampin Up rep, Tiffany. I didn't know it till I got there, but she brought ALL her current stamps for us to use, in addition to her inks & punches. This may not seem like much to someone not in the Craft, but WOW! I was in heaven. She also gave us tons of product for our sign up fee, provided 3 great meals, and had doorprizes. I met all new people at both crops, as my regular batch of croppers did not choose to go to either of these.

This morning at breakfast, I commented on how we had been apart this weekend but all did something that we enjoyed. I was at the crop from 6pm on Friday till 6pm on Saturday. Rusty went to another Martial arts seminar, this time in Indy & free. Josh spent Friday night w/Gramma Karyn and went to a Civil War re-enactment on Saturday in Hartford City. He highly admires Abe Lincoln and he got to shake hands with "him"!! It was a great weekend all around. And today we were able to relax together and get ready for the week ahead.

In the end, I don't think it was selfish at all, as time away from each other allows us to treasure our times together better.
