Stickers
I know I am 41 years old (almost 42) so probably a little old for stickers. But I like them. They make me smile - a fun simple pleasure. I use them on mail love, when I make gift tags, decorate gift boxes and notes for Michael and friends. I have a huge pile of stickers that lay in a basket in my office. All kinds of stickers....silly, pretty, politics, holiday, funky, letters and sparkly.

Gratitude Friday
I am thankful for...
1. tea and cider - we have had colds this week and both have made me feel better.
2. the Outlander series. I am on the 4th book (just about finished) but it is a great series. Just sweeps me up into the story. A new one in the series comes out I think this week so I look forward to reading that one too.
3. making a childhood favorite this week - Special K Bars. I have made them since high school. I had them while at my parents and been thinking about them ever since.
4. airborne - my cold doesn't seem as bad as Michael's. I believe that is beause I have been taking airborne.
5. smell of clean sheets on the bed

Doing Not Thinking Challenge
So my goals for this Doing Not Thinking Challenge goals are:
1. Work on art once a month (great if more but I want to at least try for once a month)
2. Create Soul Collage cards (like at least 3 done by the end of challenge)
3. Organizing and decluttering - which I have been working on already but want to continue with these areas
* storage
* Michael’s office
* bedroom closet
* front closet
4. Sew one thing. I haven't sewn in years and picked up a basic sewing book at the library and want to make it a goal just to sew one thing so that I don't keep putting it off.
Progress: As I have said this challenge I am just not accomplishing my goals like I did last challenge. I am trying not to beat myself up about it but of course I am a little bit.
Goals Completed: bedroom closet, Michael's office and front closet

Gratitude Friday
I am thankful for...
1. being done with the majority of the promotional materials for the business
2. pancakes for dinner
3. a really interesting day at the Meeker Sheep Dog Trails
4. a friend that was patient with me tonight as I was tired and not keeping up our conversation very well
5. ibuprofen as I have been having some back pain and that is the only thing that seems to give me a little relief

Gratitude Friday
I am thankful for...
1. the library having DVD's to check out. We have been watching some old movies - Dial M for Murder, Vertigo and Anatomy of a Murder have been the first few.
2. Coke rewards because I built up quite a few points so now we are getting some gift certificates for Chili's and Subway.
3. Orange juice - been having it almost daily for the last few week and it has been nice
4. Sweet Olathe Corn - we have had corn on the cob a few times. It is so very good! We will be having it for Labor Day also with steak on the grill (marinade: balsamic vinaigrette, Dijon mustard, onion powder, black pepper and minced garlic) and Pioneer Woman's Potato Bundles and a green salad.
5. it being September which means fall will be here soon...or at least soonish. I love autumn.
