Are we waiting for a formal invitation?

I was thinking this morning about what I’m often willing to put off until I am: better prepared, thinner, rested, educated, mentored…you name it.  What if a formal invitation arrived in the mail to do some of the things I want to accomplish in my lifetime?

I know the invitation is pretty absurd.  What are we waiting for though?

Maybe a formal nudge from the Universe is what’s needed now?

Thank you Emily Post Institute (headquartered in Burlington, Vermont) for helping me with the language for my formal invitation from the universe.  Here’s the link for your etiquette questions.  http://www.emilypost.com/

Oh, the joys of leather scrap.

I recently ordered some batches of leather scrap.  The colors are just gorgeous. I am working on some bracelet prototypes using leather scrap and plumbing supplies.  Now to just figure out how to use it all.  I love taking something commonly tossed and turning it into something new—my favorite creative theme.  Who knows what else will come out of all of this stuff?
