hi there

i love this little place, i really do. i've missed it, and you. it seems each time i come back i have just enough time to sweep the floor, dust things off, move the furniture, remove some cobwebs and leave just as quick as i came. social media seems to spread us pretty thin. not to mention just plain life is busy in itself.  i'm happy that i have a place to come where i can be me though, and share the randomness that is my mind. :) and use smiley faces in my posts, and not capitalize a single word if i don't feel like it. haha! oh, the little things.

instagram has been my journal these days. { want to follow me there? click on the little camera at the top of my sidebar or add me @jeanawithaj } here's some of what i've been up to. in no particular order...

i hung out with these girls in california for a week. it was so much fun. miss them loads!

i got to meet some crazy fun ladies at scrapfest in minnesota. it was my first time there, and i got to see the mall of america in all of it's glory. it's fun to be around people who are passionate about their crafting!

i've been doing quite a bit of traveling for work. i have flown more in the last 10 months than i have in several years combined. it's been fun.

i've been working lots. sometimes i'm pretty proud of the photos i take for the blog. sure it's only a pumpkin pie, but i like how the photo turned out. ha!

i went from long and brunette back to my blonde roots, and gave it a good chop! wouldn't ya know, i'm missing my long hair. 

i finally did it. i got a utah driver's license and got the dreaded hole punched in my az license that was good until 2042! 

i figured it was about time i did it. especially since i am building a house here. :) YAY! my favorite news by far. it should be done here in a few weeks.

oh, and though i don't have a picture of it, throw school into the mix somewhere in there too. 

the handful of you that read this probably knew all of this already, but i feel like i'm contributing to my life story here on the ol' blog. so bear with me if you will. 

i'm really looking forward to the holidays, spending time with my family. spending time with my family, and more spending time with the family. i get to see the little munchkins via facetime, but it's been a while since i've gotten to give them a big ol' squeeeeze.

life is good. thanks for stopping by my little spot on the web. maybe more craftiness next time. :)
