Challenges Challenges -

I am now involved in 2 count  'em 2 30 day challenges.     The first is to get my finances in order.  This is day 3.  The next is .. Buy Nothing Summer - created by Moira Richardson. Here is a  link to her blog.

  Moira had a great idea to buy no more craft or art supplies for 30 days and focus some attention on using up what you have.  This is a great opportunity for me to get my stuff in order and refocus on some drawing etc.   I am also not going to buy any more metalsmithing tools or any supplies  that are not directly related to my class. And yes, that includes BOOKS!!   Since Moira will be taking a look at our blog posts... NOW I also need to do a better job of posting pics.

Continued to work on finances.  I got all of the documentation requested by my FSA administrator and faxed it to them.  This is the first year I have used the card they issue for the FSA account.... What a hassle.  You still have to submit the documentation.. so it is just as well for me to just file a claim each time.  Got my life insurance interview done..so all arrangements for me to transition to my new job and client.  I spent NO money today!!

I worked on some metal pieces tonite.  I made some progress on the copper bracelet and am now to the point on the bookmark that all I need to do is file.   It is looking good.  I cannot wait for class this week.  We will be starting on soldering and making rings.
