Dipy Week #20 ~ Symbol

Posted on by

You really are not going to believe this. Kimberly picked SYMBOL as our theme for the week and said she had “something in mind.” I did not.

But I started thinking about symbols in my life…and realized that my favorite symbols remind me that I was put on this Earth to be a Mom to two amazing girls. And I wear those symbols proudly on my favorite necklace, every single day.

And then Kimberly’s symbol is a form of a necklace, too? It is almost too surreal. I promise you absolutely NO consulting was done. No cheating. No peeking. I shot my necklace after lunch so I could shoot in natural light for a change, and Kimberly sent me hers first. We are so in-sync it is frightening.

And I have a feeling I know what her necklace symbolizes, too. Pop over there and offer her 75 hugs! She deserves it.

Hi there, crafty peeps! Hope you had a productive and creative week. It has been a wee bit busy over here. Obviously there is a  direct correlation with the amount of chaos in our life and the amount of blogging I do. Right now I am barely squeaking any blogging in, if you couldn’t tell.

Anywho….I do have some goodies to share.

Another little clutch, I think I’ve almost got them figured out. This springy green one (look at THIS green, JB!) is for my lovely friend Julie’s birthday.

I kind of feel like the proportions are off a little, but it fits an iPhone (speaking of which, did you SEE the new iPhone? Mama likes.) a lippystick and some cash – so I think it works.

Also I have been having fun with oilcloth and the cool chalkboard fabric – a little re-usable shopping bag.

And a lunchbag, too! I think that chalkboard stuff might come in handy on a few dozen projects I would like to try.

And a quick sneak of the other “chalkboard” obsession I currently have. Just a tease…

…the rest of the playroom/craftroom redo will be unveiled (hopefully!) next week. Until then…

This week’s trip of J’s has been especially hard on me. I don’t know if it is because he is halfway around the world (Switzerland & Germany) and it is harder to talk to him, or if I’m just feeling mopey, or what. But I had a very rough time on Sunday when he left. And I’m never one to get freaked out about airplane travel. I just figure “eh, if God thinks it is my time – then so be it.” But for some reason this plane ride of J’s has had me very antsy.

And then?

I open up my email yesterday morning and he had sent me this…

I kid you not, I have just stopped getting teary eyed about it and feel composed enough to put it up for you all to see, too. But fair warning, it will make you CRY, and quite possibly sob like I did. But it is so well done, and so very beautiful.
