it's in the bag!!!

the last few days have been FULL of trips up & down the stairs.  and THAT'S a good thing.
the last few days have been FILLED with trips up & down the stairs  (a GOOD thing)  I've been in & out of the craft room where there has been miles of piles, & stacks of packs of  "things" to place into the legion of gift bags you see here.  This officially signals THE WEEK OF contest.  The bags are for quartets we will be competing against.  It's a good luck tradition of the Sweet Adelines organization.  I'm sure it started with cards once upon a time ... but has morphed into satchels containing useful items for the weekend ... along with some item or decoration indicative of the quartet you are receiving it from.   Some foursomes just toss it together ... others put in a great deal of thought.  Imagine ... receiving 20 of these puppies to dig into ?!!

 in between journeys below to gather goodies .... a multitude of emails from chorus members with last minute questions, finalizing costuming, rehearsing, beautifying, and keeping up with MY OWN day-to-day chores .... I allowed myself to sit in front of this puzzle for a bit each day, to just "veg".  I looked forward to it, & at times, it was what motivated me to GET THINGS DONE, so I could return to it!!
