Getting Personal: Update #1

So I had a very busy Spring, and we are revisiting some topics from a previous post, 'Getting Personal'. Here's the gist of what went on April, May & June.

• Changes continue at PT Job #1 and I put in my two weeks notice at PT Job #2.
• I'm 25 now and I did get my small tattoo.
• Enjoyed a long, cold, but fun day at the Craftstravaganza Craft Fair.
• My little sister's Bachelorette Party, Bridal Shower, Rehearsal and Wedding all went well with lots on fun and smiles.
  
• Plus my speech was sweet and humorous, considering I wrote it the night before. Not too bad, if I don't say so myself. :-P
  

As far as those short term goals go, let's see where we're at.

• Finish projects that I owe people (Marcy, Karlisha, my sister & my mom).

That didn't happen, maybe some for my sister, but not so much anyone else. Sorry.

• Have a fun (wedding) and profitable (craft fair) Spring.

Very true for both, I already participated in a 2nd craft fair and I got accepted into a 3rd. I'm also applying for 1, if not 2, more.

• Look harder for a FT Job (and if that pans out, move out of my mother's house).

Yea, working 7 days a week for weeks on end, I barely get to sleep. We'll work on this one after I'm finished with PT Job #2.

• And work on myself... This is going to be the hardest... in the short term, losing 20 lbs. for my sister's wedding.

This was actually the easiest one. From March to June I actually lost 40 lbs. That's like an average 5 year old girl, if you need a visual.

Other new things:

• I'm the new Jewelry Instructor at work! If you want to learn some basic Fundamentals or maybe just re-familiarize yourself with them, stop on by my Michaels and sign up! There's also some fun Camp Chic Jewelry Classes this summer. Playing with duck tape, safety pins, leather, etc.
• I will be participating in the 4th Annual Caffetto Craft Fair on July 24th! At Caffetto Coffee Shop, 708 W. 22nd Street, from 11am - 6pm.
  I hope it's a fun and not too hot of a day.
  
• My friend Christina will be visiting from Portland!
• My new pal Lauren, who put together the Unraveled DIY Festival, and I are planning on starting a local craft group. Each month we choose a new craft and we get a whole bunch of people together to learn it! (Costs for materials, but otherwise free tutorials & space.) Let me know if you're interested in participating! Or maybe you have a good name for the group?
• Same old, same old as far as love and personal life goes, but it looks like things are picking up in the right direction.

So we'll see how the next couple months progress and I'll keep everyone posted on new and major events.
