Just a bit crafty

 Didn't sleep well again last night. This may be a little tmi but I wonder that maybe on top of feeling stressed and sad, some of it may be due to menopause. I've not had trouble sleeping much in the past but lately I feel as though after about three hours I'm awake more than asleep! 

I did manage a walk. It was bright and sunny this morning. We saw a few deer but no sign of the beavers this week. I had to go and pick up just a couple of food items that I needed and then I spent the rest of the time organising presents and wrapping up and starting a pile of the things we are taking to daughter's. We are going for a (quick) long weekend this weekend. We are driving on Friday (takes 10+ hours) will spend Saturday and Sunday (her birthday) there and will then drive back Monday (10+ hours). Fingers crossed that the weather holds for us and there is not a lot of snow. Temperatures in Minnesota will be colder than here. Daughter made me laugh as she told us to bring warm clothes. I know Minnesota is a little colder but it's not as though we live in Florida or somewhere like that. 

On Saturday evening daughter has booked us tickets at the Glow Festival at the Minnesota state fairgrounds. I think it has lots of lights and food and things. It will be interesting though I hope not too busy! On Sunday we are exchanging presents with daughter, her husband and his family. It is also daughter's birthday so we shall be eating cake!

I am feeling a little better than I have got their things sorted out and wrapped. I still feel as though I have a lot to do but that was a big job. 

I also finally took some photos of a couple of the little gift boxes I've made. I will fill with some sweets and treats. I even cleaned off part of the desk and prettied it up a little! I enjoy making these - they are fun to make and quite easy.
