Playing Catch-Up

After we returned from our vacation, I was hit with a virus that took me out of commission for about 6 weeks. By that point, we were back to school, and with several staff changes, it has been a busy fall. The students in the alternative program that I teach in do not do well with change. We've also had some cat issues in the house (i.e.: the older one isn't any closer to accepting the kitten and has developed health issues as a result of the stress, and the kitten ingested a foreign object and had to have surgery).

What does all of this mean? My creative time had to be put on the back-burner either because I had no time or because I had time but was simply too exhausted. 

This past week I've managed to find some time to work on our Traveler's Notebook from our summer vacation, and that has inspired me to tackle some projects on this long weekend:

1. Document our cat drama from the past week

2. Add a Leonard Cohen tribute to my music traveler's notebook. Thanks, Kelly Purkey for the quote. If you don't already, subscribe to her newsletter.

3. Print more of my coffee pics and play with my new Christine Herrin stamps.

4. Work on the cover of my shop local, eat local traveler's notebook. The Around Town set from Kelly Purkey Shop (kit subscription) will be the perfect addition - it must be why I waited to commit to a cover! 

5. Work on some spreads about our getaway to Winnipeg (which happened in August)

6. Keep making progress on our summer vacation #travelersnotebook.
