2012!

2012...The year we're all going to die according to the Mayans & the presidential election! Yea! not really.

The world ending in 2012, I believe is true in a different regard.(Still think the Mayans just ran out of space) The world as we know it, like when we were children, has changed drastically. The EU is crumbling, economies faltering globally, dictators are coming & going, wars have had to be forged and certain groups seem to want to be violent on a massive scale and people have lost their marbles/brains.

I've taken a hiatus from politics and if you know me that's kinda crazy. I still watch the news once in awhile (sick of hearing about Obama & nothing but bad news), read my political books, read drudge report & if the conversation turns to politics, I'll join in but not as spirited as I used to be. I haven't even decided who I'm voting for...just starting my research...and yes I research who I want to be my commander in chief and the representative of myself & my country.

I've found an amazing site full of DIY ideas, recipes & other odds and ends that has inspired me. Part of my new Year's resolution is to try to do at least 4 or more things from my pin boards a month! Right now cutting wine bottles with nail polish remover & string is on the list for this week. ;0)& with my new sewing machine it will be loads of fun, making things for myself & others. I'm excited to get my creative side back!
