10 Minute Everything's-In-A-Pile Challenge

There is progress. My storage cabinets are not finished, but they're in. That means we needed to move all of my stuff around. So instead of working on a card table that was definitely not created with precision in mind, I'm now working standing up and in front of whatever cardboard box is unlucky enough to be in front of me. My goal for today's card was to use literally only things that I could reach. Lots of my stuff is trapped inside drawers that I can't open because the sideboard the said cabinets reside in is backed up to the said {zillion} cardboard boxes. Good thing Bisous Zoo (chipboard plane) and Little Yellow Bicycle (blue patterned paper) sent boxes this week... they were on top, so that made them the winners in the search for product that was not buried. This card says "Best of Luck" because, unfortunately, I could not find a "Hope you don't die on your flight today!" stamp. And by "you" I mean me. Have I told you that flying is not my favorite? I once told a pilot at the end of the flight that I literally prayed for him for 2 hours and 22 minutes on that flight. And I wasn't kidding. I've been known to hold the hand of the stranger next to me. Seriously. If you were walking down the aisle of the flight I'm on, you'd have no idea that all I want to do is get off of it (of course, not while we're in the air... I want to get off of it while we're on the ground, please). I'm not super panic-y or anything... I'm more of a silent terrified flyer. I'm not going to go try and open the door in flight... seriously, all I want to do is live, and doing that would not be helpful for my goal. Anyhow, today I need to go off to the City of Salted Lakes for a little Paper Crafts Editorial Board meeting. {Seriously... why is it called that? Salt Lake City, I mean. I bet you 5 bucks that one of my editors will read this post before I get there and will be waiting to tell me the answer when I get there. My guess is that it will be either Jennifer or Susan... the edge goes to Jennifer since she's probably the one picking us up at the airport.} So at least at the end of this flight I know I'll be stepping off to friends I love and to 3 days of immersing myself in magazine talk and brainstorming to my heart's content. It's worth it.

Here's to hoping I get there!
