"I Love" Sunday's v.45

Hello friends!

Happy Sunday. How're you today?


** Monday brought me some super happy mail in the form of packages! If you follow my Instagram account, you've already seen the picture.

The halloween stamp was from a third party company on Amazon. The two sets of Halloween Washi were from American Crafts. The States stamp/fest stamp are from Sweet Stamp Shop. From Jet Pens, I got a fountain pen, a thin roll of camera washi tape, a portable stencil, penguin stickers, and some additional Midori brand bands for my inserts.


** Monday and Tuesday were a reprieve from homework (mostly because I was being lazy and didn't want to do it). I just started week 5 of my classes, only 3 weeks left! It's nice seeing the end of my classes in sight!!!!!

** Wednesday came around and I got my Letter of Release from the Army with my retirement date. I'm excited about it, but at the same time it's sad. This is the only thing I have done in my adult life, and it will be a hard transition. It's also shocking to know that all of this will end in 88 days (84 days on Sunday).... just after Christmas and New Years. This means I am now running around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to get everything sorted. I could start terminal leave in December, possibly the middle of November, so there is a lot that I need to get done first. I want to see some Christmas markets before I leave, take a few more day trips, get some more photos. 
My boss told me I am no longer on the work schedule so I can focus on getting my act together and out of this place. This is kind of exciting.

Random military meme- that just happens to be the story of my life!!
** Thursday was the Hispanic Heritage Observance Celebration on base. I was in charge of decorating the room and stayed to take pictures of the entire event, that was put on by my unit. I don't know how we got put in charge of it, but we were, and I was asked to volunteer for it, so I did. 

** Friday, I had to work for a little while but was released early when the flights were all cancelled due to weather.

** Yesterday was a simple day, just hung out in my room reading and watching television. Once I helped K put some batteries in a plastic pumpkin from the PX, I filmed the video of my current planner set-up, which should be up on my channel sometime today. I really do love Halloween, so there were quite a few decorations.  


** Today we went to another Medieval Fest, it was about an hour away from home. There will of course be a blog post this week (hopefully tomorrow) to share more about what happened (it just depends on if I can get the pictures edited tonight before my homework is due.)

YouTube: Surprise Happy Mail

Happy Monday dear friends!
 
I can actually say that because not only was I out of work at 1300 today, but I got some surprise Happy mail!!!
 
 
This is like my shortest video yet!
Which isn't really a bad thing!!!!
I apologize for all the sniffling in the video! My allergies flared up really bad this morning.
 
For those that either don't want to watch the video or can't (I know sometimes it doesn't work right on my computer)... or you don't want to listen to the sniffling I've been doing all day...
 
About a week and a half ago, I placed an order on Amazon. I bought two packs of the plain Cahiers Moleskine notebooks to create new inserts to sell, and I decided to give the blank Midori insert a try (According to my Amazon account it's the blank 003 insert). I wanted to test it with my new Distress Inks, Distress Mini pads, and give my watercolors a try.
 
Well, I got my package yesterday. I was glad to see the Moleskine notebooks, because now I can start working on the inserts I've designed to sell. The surprise was a familiar looking box (thanks to YouTube videos). I opened it up and happened to find this Original Midori Travelers Notebook with my 003 insert.
 
 
Believe me when I say that I tripple checked my Amazon account to make sure I hadn't secretly ordered the Midori and just forgot about it. I've sent an email to the seller and am waiting to hear back from them. It's a happy accident and I hope I get to keep the cover because I've been considering ordering an original midori just for my sketchbook. We'll see what happens!
 
My Ali Edwards Day in the Life kit also finally came in (it took longer then expected... which is weird because her stuff always gets here quickly), so I am excited to start working on my album and getting that completed. I forgot to take a picture because as soon as I opened it, I put everything away in it's proper place (yay organizing my craft supplies).
 
I hope you guys and gals have a great rest of your Monday!
I'm off to complete my homework for this week (bleck)
