As I navigate through the new "Normal" I hear lots of people saying it is so freeing to have the family together. They are cooking together and playing board games and such things. Well, I have had some great together time with my new husband. He is an RN and works 12 hour shifts so he has an odd schedule. Couple that with my being a teacher and we have accomplished many projects around the house and still have quite a few to yet finish. I enjoy that, but really long for the old normal. My kids are grown and I think this new way of living has kept them busier than usual-read not available to play board games with mom. lol It has also compromised many plans...from the wedding dress emergency (mine was ordered from a company in China) to no real honeymoon so far as the week we were set to go to New Orleans and our dream honeymoon the country went to lockdown.
Now I realize this was definitely a necessity, but it still makes one long for the simple things like making summer trip plans or going out to eat at your favorite Mexican restaurant...Shout Out to Mexicali in Tulsa and our favorite waitress; Hailey!
So as the world is trying it's toe in the water of opening up, we have finally been able to plan a trip to the beach. Not the honeymoon we'd planned; that will still happen at a later date, but a short jaunt to have some fun.
I am also taking time to sort through and scan some of the many photos and paper ephemera pieces I have had fun collecting. (Seems the collecting part is a little more fun than the sorting and scanning part!) Soon there will be new collage sheets coming to the Etsy, Shopify, Facebook, and Instagram stores. I have also listed some of my digital items on Ebay. Still working out the kinks with the Facebook and Instagram shops, so keep watch for them soon.
Along those lines-what would you like to see in new collage sheets? Any themes you need artwork for?
