I had such bad cramps that I feared death was imminent, but knew Michelle would have the medicinal mixture I needed to feel better. Sure enough, she hooked me up with a combination of these two items and within a half hour I was feeling good.
Max practiced the piano for awhile and Marc regaled Landon and Lucas with news of the next big innovation coming to the Wii.
I got down to business writing some long overdue thank you notes. I have been very frustrated with how behind I've gotten on my good mail ways.
I like this shot Michelle took of my supplies including the medicinal Coke I had that day. (I fear I'm cultivating a new addiction and am trying hard not to give in to it, but that day it really helped.)
Michelle worked on some cool Christmas ornaments that proved to be more time consuming than she'd anticipated.
Michelle was quite smitten (as am I) with these darling thank you notes I found a couple months ago at TJ Maxx. When I bought them I hadn't even noticed that the envelopes were cute too.
Marc was kind enough to offer me a piece of his birthday cake! I would have completely understood if he had wanted to save it all for himself.
My phone beeped at 5:00 to notify me that it was Creative Friday!
Cute Michelle.
She made progress on her sparkly ornaments.
I wrote 16 thank you notes!
My hand hurt and felt like a hideous claw by the end of the day.
It was a really great, restorative and productive day and one that I definitely need to help me regroup and relax.
**Have you written any thank you notes lately?
Do you love TJ Maxx for stationery?
Ever made your own ornaments?
What do you take for cramps?**
Comment Window Tidbit: As much as I love to be home, I must say that I manage my time far more effectively now that I'm working. Apparently I really need a set wake-up time and early bedtime and didn't need to be watching so much TV all these years!

Hey-- I am also so much more productive now that I've thrown in work days! What's that about?? Dang I wish it were not so!
Just like everyone else will comment-- I LOVE YOUR CREATIVE days!!! and hooray for actually doing something creative! You guys are so cool.
Those ornaments- WOW
Thank you cards- WOW
I have been sending good mail-- but at a much slower rate.
cramps- why? WHY?? I just can't for the life of me get that one.
Seriously- cute envelopes there.
Have a great work week friend.
Look at you on a blogging streak! Impressive.
I'm so glad that C.F. was part of our Thanksgiving break. It is just so restorative.
Looking back at these photos, it was even better than I remembered!
I certainly enjoyed receiving one of those painfully cute envelopes in the mail.
I'm with Michelle, glad you are on a blogging streak.
Hurray for a Creative Friday.
I don't really ever get bad cramps. Your post makes me feel guilty about that. I think I also have an extremely high pain tolerance so maybe I do have cramps but they don't bother me really? Who knows.
I love that Michelle always has some kind of project going.
I haven't been sending many notes or good mail lately at all. Sad.
Cramps ~ those awkward heating pads with medicine in them work. There's an adhesive that you stick right onto your unmentionables. Told you - very awkward, but surprisingly, it works.
PS: You are hereby annointed QUEEN BLOGGER!
I always feel like the busier I am the easier it is to do everything. I wish I could just self motivate! That cake looks delicious!!
I love seeing overlapping photos on yours and Michelle's blogs.
Cramps are no fun at all.
And yes, a busy schedule does necessitate time management, a positive side effect of working. Since leaving school, though, I've found that I have noticeably less energy after a busy day or week than I used to. In college, though, I did have successful and energetic time management!
Seeing a picture of your phone got me excited that I only have 28 more days until I can get my new Iphone and it will be bliss!
I hope your cramps went away. No fun.
That cake looks so darn good. I need to make it. Maybe for my bday.
I am so glad you and Michelle were able to get together. Your days looks so fun.
Love everything about your creative Fridays..friends, fun, paper products, good mail, creative projects!
I wrote some thank you notes and other notes and included them in some of my Christmas cards. I'm glad that I got them written but knew that if I didn't include them that both wouldn't get done.
The claw!!! I'm surprised you are still able to use that hand with all the note writing you do.
