Birthday gift

Next weekend is my 50th birthday. My gift to myself is to spend the weekend working on the elf workshop that has been waiting in the wings for months. I love my job but balancing work, home and hobbies is not something I've figured out yet. Giving myself a weekend for mini-ing is gonna be so good for my mental health! I hope to see you next weekend with photos.

Have a wonderful weekend, friends!

Hello 2013!

Happy New Year blog friends! I hope that this is a year filled with joy and blessings for each of you.

I also hope that I figure out how to fit minis back into my life now that I'm working almost full time. For this next week I am working full time - doing my job and part of a former co-worker's until the school gets someone hired. I am really missing my hobby time. I still haven't figured out how to keep up with household chores, let alone adding fun time. So my new year's resolution of sorts is to get a better balance between family, home, job and minis. Our family has a lot of chronic health issues with hubby and the kids have the biggest issues. My time "playing" with dollhouses is what keeps me emotionally balanced - the dollhouse people always do just what they're told and they never get sick. ;)

Have a wonderful week!
