Monday.

Such a nice day here. Perfectly wonderful weather.

Simon and I grocery shopped this morning. Gotta love when his behavior is as sunny as the weather. I so delight in this time of year (besides the whole allergy thing) - especially when strawberries start showing up at the store. Not local mind you, but close enough for me. And they had a bunch of hyacinths I had to bring home as well.

I have to say that it has been awesome being home for the last two weeks straight. Feel like I had a chance to catch up, rest, rejuvinate and work without the intense pressure of leaving again right away. I am working on scheduling myself smarter, figuring out what makes the most sense financially, physically, and mentally.

Some of you may have read this morning on Two Peas that I have decided to step down from my position in the Creating Garden. It has been a long time since I was an active participant in the Garden and simply felt that it was my time to go. I love Two Peas. I can't really imagine this whole crazy thing without that site. Two Peas has made a major impact on my life. It introduced me to modern scrapbooking, it engrossed me, challenged me, introduced me to my best friends, and gave me a passion I never knew I had. It continues to inspire me daily. And like I said in my post, it will continue to be my home.

The rest of today is being spent getting all the final details together for CKU-A this weekend in Chicago. I love this event. So excited to go and meet all the students, see my friends, and pass on the love.

And also, I am so excited that sweet, super creative Rhonna has opened up shop on Cafe Press. She has amazing designs over there you have to check out. She also has a very cool challenge happening on her blog - such an inspiration.
