Everyone's good at something

I like to think that I am somewhat creative. Somewhat. But my problem is, that I can visualize but not execute. Unless it's on a grand scale. I do have to say that I love all the girls' rooms and the playroom. But on the little things, not so much. So it's fortunate that I have friends that can sew and bling and draw and such. And while they are blessed with those many talents, I have a few of my own.

Take for instance, my MOPS meeting a few weeks back. A craft meeting. Which I usually shudder at the word "craft" because I'm just not crafty. But those wonderful ladies decided that we were going to decorate wine glasses water goblets. And there were examples and paint and rhinestones and a roomful of women who were so super excited to get to work. And I sat there. And sat. And sat.

Finally I called my friend Genie over and asked if she wouldn't mind painting an A on my glass. Then I called my friend Robyn over and asked if she wouldn't mind blinging it for me. And then I had the rest of the hour to chit chat with everyone while they were working on their own glasses. But mine did turn out pretty good. And nice and simple, much like myself.

Getting other people to do things for you is totally a talent. And one I somewhat excel at. Well, at least as far as my husband goes. Ask who does the dishes every night? ;-)

Emma, however, does her own thing. And her artwork was hung up in the 1st grade hallway for all to see, which she was so super excited about.

Yep, she did it all by herself. Cut, colored, designed that abstract rocket boat thingy. But it sure is pretty!

Tomorrow, it's another craft day. I do believe that I "personally" won't be decoupaging anything. Maybe I should let Emma skip school and do it for me.
