Creativity leads to exhaustion...

Wow. I'm tired. Jason has been out all night doing a deer survey. I've been strapped to my desk working on a craft/art project for a craftster swap that I'm embarrassingly behind on. I have to admit that inspiration was elusive on this particular swap, the "Book-Lovers" swap, but things are coming together now. I just finished a work in pyrography/painting that I'm extremely proud of. I'll post pictures as soon as my crafty partner has received it. I will almost certainly create a similar piece of wall art for myself. The requirements for this swap were small, but I still fell behind. I'll be sending by Saturday and am going out tomorrow for some extra goodies to throw in.

I am up way too late, but I just don't feel like I can put my head down. I've just got a last little bit of crafting to do and then I will try to sleep. I'm just out of my element right now. That's okay, because things will be back to normal soon.

Jason's been talking about going to Midland-Odessa for a while for Christmas shopping and a mini-getaway for us. I've been putting off discussing it, but finally made reservations for the MCM Elegante in Odessa. It's a really nice place, according to my friend at work, and I booked us an in-room couple's massage for the morning after we arrive. Now I'm actually excited about the trip. I'm going to try to find a nice place for us to dine while there, but I'm pretty sure we'll end up going to Olive Garden anyhow. Haha!

Well, the glue is in place and ready to dry overnight. Hopefully I'll dream of the last project I need to make my package complete.
