From the Mind of AlphaBetsy

I think I'm pms-ing or something, I'm just super emotional today. I keep getting angry, then sad, then I'm fine... It's the full moon so I know that's a little of it. I'm just so flippin sensitive. I should go to bed and pretend I don't exist the rest of the day. I heard from my swap partner today and feel like crap for being so stressy about not hearing from her, apparently her Grandpa died last week, which is why she was not in touch. Man do I feel crappy for complaining now. Not that I could have had any way of knowing, but... In other news it's only 2 weeks until my birthday. I am so looking so forward to my shopping day with mom and Shmoo. We did this last year and it was so much fun. We just ran around on high street all day, going from shop to shop, mostly window shopping. We started with breakfast at Jack and Benny's and went from there. I'm so looking forward to the 13th. I'm also looking forward to next Saturday, because Seth and I ...

I can't believe it is snowing again. I am more than done with snow. The nice thing is that it gives me an excuse for sitting inside and crafting. I'm getting ready to start on pieces for my new swap, Alice in Craftster -land 2, in spite of the fact that I haven't actually heard from my swap partner yet. I read on her info that she is a student so maybe she just hasn't had the time yet, but it makes me nervous. Especially since my other partners were always so quick to respond. I am expecting a package any day now from the swap I just finished which was the Jar of Whimsy 7 Swap. I had so much fun with this swap that I think I am going to become a regular whimsier. My jar for the swap was a bamboo steamer that I painted. My partner was a fan of Grover and Professor Layton so I made her shrinky dinks or the characters. I also made her a whimsy painting in her favorite colors and a necklace and bracelet set. And the whole swap package looked like this... I think ...

I'm moving my blog from myspace which I have been having issues with to blogspot. My name is Betsy. I will be 29 in a few weeks and I'm cool with that, really. I have just come to the conclusion that I need to find a job that I actually like. I know what I would really like to do, cosmetology, I just need to find a way to make it happen. Ideally I would like to go to Aveda Institute, because I know that it is a great school and gives quality education, but I'm just not sure I can afford it. I am a craftster addict and get further in everyday. I do craft swaps and my current swap is Alice in Craftster-land Swap 2. I'm very excited about it because I love Alice, but I am getting nervous because my partner for the swap isn't responding to my PM (okay I just sent yesterday, but..) and never posted in the swap chat. I hope I hear from her soon. I think our styles are very compatible and I have some fantastic ideas for her.
