Updates...

I haven't posted in awhile. But I haven't swapped in awhile either. I haven't been doing much of anything except working.
I set a few hefty resolutions so I've been chipping away at those. Did anyone else make resolutions? My two big ones were
1. Read the Bible, cover to cover, in a year.
2. (Keep) training for a half marathon in October and December.
So most days, I work out and read.
I received this awesome Twilight charm bracelet in a swap that uses shrinkydinks, so I've been thinking about trying my hand at that. There are also some cool bead stores I've been wanting to check out, but haven't. So maybe this week(end) will finally be the time I do it. My other craft wishes for learning are metalsmithing and resin casting. I don't see those happening anytime too soon. But they're out there, in my imagination. I do look at Craftster on Facebook and see updates with new projects but I just haven't seen anything that cried out to me.
Looking forward, I will probably be posting for some Valentine's romantic/friendly gift ideas. And my anniversary is in March, so I might try some new stencils. I was *pretty* inspired by some of the stencils I saw on stencilry on other folks' blogs. I believe there was a stencil for Danny Effing Tanner?! Here's John Stamos.

I'm also a big fan of the peacock feathers.

I see the feathers in a rainbow stencil. It could be awesome. It would take a long time to cut out each quill thingy but it could be awesome. Then you need some funny feather pun. Anyway, that's my craft update. I'm still here. I'm just uninspired.
