nov. 7,
it is daylight savings here
an hour we fall back
do you know what that means for me
my crazy mornings of no sleep
awaking at around
3:00~4:00 am
have now gone
to 2:00 am
uuuggg
~week 41~
was about completing projects for me
ones i had started
yet they sat quietly waiting to be finished
i had started this shortly after
i had made my silk tarot card one
made from a tablecloth i found at a thrift store
little by little
i shredded the fabric into long strips
crocheted them together
creating a clutch like handbag
~week 42~
so many beautiful cards and notes
have come my way
from this little land of blog
guilty...i am a saver of all
certain pieces i did not want to re~use
just
SIMPLY CHERISH
while going through my old trunk
filled with bits of my past
i came across a journal that had hardly been used
only a few pages had been written
so i removed those words
and thought to myself
i could use this to keep such
as a memory
and an address book
see i learned the hard way
slowly i started
not writing down addresses
just inputting into our computer
and well
COMPUTER
CRASHED
quite a few addresses i lost
there truly is
a gift
beyond all
in the old fashion way
of
taking the time
to write by hand
not just as a sender
but for yourself as well
alas it is also a simple way
for me to remain organized
and have in one place
all the wonderful frienships made
all neat and tidy
when i need to find ones address
i can pick up my little book
and find them in here
no more bits and pieces scattered
here and there
don't forget if its your time to fall back
those clocks you will need to turn

I keep all my addresses on index cards in a couple of plastic recipe boxes. When someone's contact info changes, I just write up a new card and throw the old one away.
I am trying to compile all my newest addresses! What you are doing is a wonderful idea. You never know when your computer might fail! I love your little clutch that you created - the color is so rich and bold. Theresa :)
