What I'll be doing All Week!

Hi Everyone!

Yet again, my job is taking over my life this week.
This week, I will be spending my time at the 2011 Iowa State Fair.
(No crafting in the time budget this week- which makes me sad.)

This is the week that I dread all year.

I don't like it, I'm not going to like it, and nobody can make me like it.
I can't exactly explain why I don't like the fair, but if I had my choice of working at the fair (inspecting the 200+ food stands everyday) or setting my hair on fire and putting it out with a sledge hammer--
I'd pick the hammer to the head.
:)

Here's some nice pictures of the Fair...



That's about right!


So this week- when you're cutting, glueing, glittering, and smiling- please think of me and send crafty thoughts my way.

I'll be the one in the Midway with my thermometer stuck in a corn dog!


Thanks for stopping by!

    Oh Julie, you just kill me, girl! This blog about the fair is fabulous...so fun to read. Never knew anyone who hated going to a state fair but now I do. Of course, If I had to spend a whole week there too..I would set my hair on fire too! Hang in there girl and have a corndog on me!

    LOL...love this post. I love State Fairs. But I would hate to miss craft time. Hope you job understands the hardship and sacrifices you are making for them this week. hehe Be safe in the Midaway!

    I used to work fairs years ago, and I loved it since it got me out of our store for a week. I can understand though that it might be no fun sticking a thermometer in a corn dog for a week! That pic of the T-shirt literally made me crack up!! I LOVE IT!!!

    Good luck and we'll be thinking about you!

    Aww Julie... despite your suffering, you sure know how to bring about a giggle (or several)! Maybe you can mentally craft when you see fun scenes or items and instantly think, "Can I Cricut that?!" ;) Seriously though, I'm so sad to hear about your lack of craft time. I've been in a non-crafting stretch and it's so disheartening, isn't it? Persevere, my crafty friend! I've hardly had time to tell you that you make me smile.. but you do. :o) (And the pictures are beautiful.)

    Hugs and blessings! :o)
