Craft Studio Staycation

I am lucky enough that I am able to take a week or two of vacation each year that no one else in my family has off.  I LOVE these weeks.   I can go away with girlfriends, or have something I call "Laura Days" which are days that I can do whatever I would like to do (spa days, craft supply shopping, creating days) and I don't have to do anything I don't want to do (housework, cooking, laundry).  I am currently on one of these lovely vacations as we speak.

I was planning on taking my camera out and about and capturing all the wonderful colours that are popping up in the trees, but my son's hockey schedule and the weather had other ideas.   I actually spent the first three days of this vacation in a hockey arena watching my son play hockey in a hockey tournament.  Don't get me wrong I love watching my boy out there on the ice, but the weather was absolutely perfect outside.  It was warm, but not too warm and the sun was shining with beautiful white puffy clouds in the sky...perfect fall days....alas I have my priorities and in the arena I sat. Once the hockey tournament was over the weather started to turn.  My first day off was supposed to be rainy and miserable.  I decided to do all my running around that day and even though I took my camera with me for the errand running it just wasn't the kind of day to stand outside and take pictures. Today was even worse.  We have high winds going through the area right now....also not great weather for standing in or near the woods.   The trees were really moving today.  So I stayed in for most of the day and caught up on all the stuff I don't really like to do.  Today is a cleaning up day in my little studio and part of that was to make 3 or 4 haul videos before everything was sorted and put away.   I'm not so great at making or editing the videos and I think that's why its not one of my favorite things.  Why do I do it then?  I'm not sure why, its something that I feel I should do.  I'm not sure if it helps me justify all that I buy during the weeks but at this point I just want to share what I'm doing with people who get me.

So here are 2 new video haul videos.   There are a few more to come in the next day or so.  I want to finish tidying up here so I can start making all the cards that are swirling around in my head.  I try to post those too.

Thanks for looking.
