Today was a really great crafty garage sale day.  I found Stampin’ Up things that I almost never find.  I also found a bunch of embellishment that I like to use, brads, buttons, etc. that were really nice.  I found some kids projects that I thought I would start another series with.  It seems like the YouTube channels that have the most viewership appeal to a broad audience.  I think it’s about time I made some children’s crafts so that I include them in my demographics.  Besides, there are a lot of kids with physical limitations that would benefit from a channel like mine.

I’m really excited because A C Moore called and said my watercolors are in.  You know I have absolutely no painting skills, but have always loved watercolors and have bought so many framed watercolors from artists all over the world.  One of the things we buy when we travel is art.  Not expensive art, but things that appeal to us.  The thing that’s great about it is that we have reminders of trips that will last our lifetimes.   I like the idea of buying things that take me back to a place when I look at it or smell it.  I like to buy colognes as well–one smell and you remember where you were when you bought it.  It’s fun for Rich as well.  He has colognes from different countries and even made his own personal scent at a perfumery we visited.

I made a couple more videos today and Rich is falling further and further behind in uploading them.  I think he’s probably about ready to throw in the towel.  I’m not really sure why I’ve been making so many videos, but I’m hoping it’s because of the new medicine I’ve been taking.  I have more motivation when my arthritis is under control and if that’s the case, I will be thrilled.  Even better, I’d be able to go off the steroids I’ve been taking for almost a year.  They aren’t good for bones, eyesight, weight, pretty much anything you can think of.  I’d like to go off them because of all of the above, plus the fact that I get a really round face from them and people often stop and ask me if I’m on steroids.  I’m not really excited when it happens, believe me.  On the other hand, I don’t think I’d be able to do much of anything if I wasn’t taking them, so there’s the big issue.  I’m always willing to live with the side effects if my joints feel better.  Long story short, I’ll be really happy if my new meds are working.  Maybe I’ll turn into a great watercolorist if I feel good..  Wouldn’t that be something?
