I just finished helping put on a craft night for the women in our church. I am tired. For the last 3 weeks I have been cutting words, squares, paper, snowflakes, lettering, blah, blah, blah. I've had lots of willing help putting kits together for cards, cutting blocks of wood, phone calls, etc. But still being in charge of an evening for a large group exhausts my mind. Constant thoughts of doubt fill my mind, "What if they don't like the crafts? How much money should these cost? Who paid? Who didn't pay?" I never really know if it was worth it until the end of the evening. When I see smiles of gratitude on these women's faces. There were a few times certain woman seemed really grateful and it made me feel a little better.
On an unrelated note, my dog Duke is having some self esteem issues today. I must be neglecting him. He has been under my feet constantly and as I sit at the computer he is staring at my whimpering and whining. How sad is my life that I am so busy, not even my dog gets the right amount of attention.
I need some ice cream. Just discovered a little trick yesterday: Melt Crunch bars (leftover from Halloween) and a couple of spoonfuls of Peanut Butter in the microwave and pour over vanilla ice cream. 5000 calories but soooooo worth it.

I feel your woes! Our big craft day is next weekend. I'll be cutting etc for the next week too. The whole price thing is a big stress for me also. Ugh. Lets just think of ourselves and have a scrap night!
(I'll have to try your ice cream trick)
The craft night was wonderful Sommer! I had a great time!
