juliebarkley Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 I haven't been around much since October (I think). My last challenge fizzled badly when I got busy, then sick, then busy, then sick again. I have managed to lose just about every good habit that I have ever made, and I don't like it one bit. I don't have a plan for this challenge yet, but I'm not going to sit out another challenge. The only thing I'm certain will be in there is a target for all the Christmas gifts I need to get made (small gifts for coworkers). Might as well get started on those right now! Back soon with a plan. 8 Quote Challenge: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 Link to comment

Glad you're still at it, you know what they say about falling down and getting back up... and getting back up... and getting back up... enjoy the Christmas preparations.

Both the snowflakes and the balls look like beautiful things, hope you'll have fun with that. 2 Quote Legally bound to hug people in need. Living life as a Druid is about walking with the beasts. It's about being scared, looking your fears in the eyes and going on anyway. Dread doesn't go away, you just learn to know it. It's still a beast, it still has fangs, but you walk among it.

My origami is done and ready to go tomorrow. I ended up leaving the tatted snowflakes for next year. I hope my coworkers like them - there are enough different ones that everyone should be able to pick a size and shape that they like. Now I can concentrate on challenge planning. Which may end up being general life planning.
