Pin It Now!
I guess I've been in a bit of a blogging slump, huh? Starting a new term at school is always a little difficult, and this term I'm taking pretty difficult classes. But I've been spending a lot of time with my Little Sister, and volunteering.
But I promise I will be posting more now that life has slowed down to a more normal pace! Look out for some fun and easy Mod Podge crafts this weekend.
An amazing friend of mine runs a website called Create for Less - which I HIGHLY reccommend for all your crafting supplies. Every Friday is Free Stuff Friday - who doesn't love free stuff?! - and I would love for all of you to run over there and try to win one of her awesome prizes!!

Crossing them off...
Pin It Now!
10. Installed some closet organizers. I found a plastic shelving unit that stands on it's own - so no need to attach it to the wall of the closet. It's so nice to have the closet clean and everything has a home now.
19. I cleaned the storage unit! And my oh my does it feel good. Now I know that there isn't a bunch of junk in there, and I was able to sell and donate a lot of the stuff that we had been storing but didn't really need anymore.
33. I'm a Big Sister! Yay!! I'm so excited to share my time with this wonderful little girl.
I have quite a list of goals, but I'm slowly completing them, one step at a time.
I have a few updates to make to my 101 in 1001 list:

Want to know what I've been up to?
Pin It Now!
Well, I've been so excited to share with you my big news...
L is an aborable little ten year old girl full of wit and very creative. She is smart and loves soccer and creating and making crafts. Yay! Crafty has a little crafty friend!
We had our match meeting on November 19. That day we met at the Big Brothers Big Sisters office and I was able to meet her mother and siblings. We picked out several activities to do on our first few outings.
L is truly an amazing kid that I'm so happy to be able to inspire, mentor and learn from.
Our first outing was November 21 and we went to our local craft store and painted glass ornaments. We then perused the different craft ideas, deciding to create a scrapbook of all of our future time together. She picked out some fun paper and stickers, and decided that we need to take at least one picture each outing and create a record of our adventures. She went through the embellishments and stickers and pointed to each sticker set making comments like "we can buy these stickers when we bake cupcakes," and "we can use these ones for when we go to a soccer game!" It was thrilling to see her so excited and planning our future get-togethers. I don't know who's more excited!
I can't wait to watch her grow and be a part of her life. She has a wonderful mother that loves her dearly, and I'm so happy to share in development of this child.
