Going Walkabout

 This all started with a bad case of FOMO.

Inspirations magazine, the Crewel Work Company, and the Online Studio classes from EGA cause me the biggest problems when it comes to fear of missing out. All of them offer amazing classes and projects that aren't just the everyday stuff. And, generally, there is a window of opportunity that may close faster than I would like.

Of course, I would like that window to stay open indefinitely.

Anyway, a recent Friday newsletter from Inspirations mentioned that they had already restocked Betsy Morgan's Stuart Reticule kit from the most recent issue twice, and weren't sure how many more times they would continue to make kits. And they were down to two remaining kits for Heartfelt.

We all know that I do love me some Betsy Morgan designs. And I've been looking at Heartfelt for a solid year.

We know what happened next.

So then, there was the wait for my goodies to arrive.

All was well at first. Shipment was sent from Australia, landed in California, got through Customs. Ended up in Memphis, which seems to be the place most things that come to me from Australia go before making the final trek.

After all, it's pretty much a straight shot from Memphis to my part of North Carolina. And, let's face it, Tennessee and North Carolina are right next to each other. We share a border and part of the Appalachians.

However, the kits seems to have had another idea.

The next stop that tracking showed was Jacksonville. The one in Florida, not the one in North Carolina. Okay, the box hopped on the wrong truck. Generally, things are put back on another truck heading north and it's no biggie.

Nope, my package decided it liked Florida and hung around Jacksonville for a bit. Then it went to Tampa. Then back to Jacksonville. Twice.

Finally, finally, it arrived in the parcel delivery box at my home address.

Am I digging right in? Well, I would, but I started two new projects yesterday.

And that's a story for another day.
