Wrapping up the last 3 months!

Diposting oleh fawaid on Selasa, 27 Maret 2012

What an adventure! If you've followed me here (or Facebook/twitter) then you've heard me talk about "this play" I've been involved with for the last 3 months. It kept me insanely busy for a while and there was always something to be done for it, tweaked, discussed, made, etc. BUT - it was A LOT of fun!

I gave of my time for the elementary school musical. 90 kids singing and dancing in Alice in Wonderland with a Preshow of an enhanced version of Oh the Places You'll go! 

5 performances packed into 4 days and as of last night it's all done!



We tend to say - "I don't have time for that." I never said that but just jumped in for the challenge and the experience. Sure I am busy and yes it was hard to juggle everything sometimes but I wouldn't trade it for the experience it gave me with this awesome group of kids and my chance to be a tiny part of that. 


They won't remember the 3 months of practices everyday before school....they won't remember the long days of performances and rehearsals....they probably won't even remember me.....BUT they will remember how they felt on stage....they will remember being in the spotlight, having a crowd cheer, singing like a rock star and all the fun games they got to play backstage. And that makes it all worth it!

(pssst....there's always time to do good)

So - what's my next adventure/project? there's always something brewing or up my sleeve! stay tuned....

New Project

Diposting oleh fawaid on Sabtu, 07 Januari 2012

Thursday morning my usual busy schedule got completely turned upside down and I became very familiar, very quickly with a new speed of busy :) 

I was asked to take on a school musical project and had 24 hours to put it all together - lines, songs, production, etc. Well it wasn't just going to be any production - I just can't think that way! LOL and luckily I knew I had a great friend and partner in crime to pull this off!

So for the last 2 days I've been consumed in listening to music, choreographing, mapping out lines, casting parts, getting music cut....and on and on and on. 


Don't get me wrong - it's GREAT! I get to work with the elementary school kids and be a part of this chance for them to SHINE, develop their acting, singing and dancing skills and I just get to ride this adventure with them! 


BUT - if you ever think, "I don't have time for something like that"....believe me - you do! Because me and the other Moms involved don't really have "time" for all this fun either but you just make it happen. It's for the kids. And yes it's a lot of work, time, late nights and running so much you don't have time to eat. BUT - it's worth it! It really is.....Never thought I'd have this big project thrown in my lap a few days into the New Year but it's an adventure I am happy to take! looking forward to the ride....

psst! I'll still be blogging my crafty projects, tutorials, ideas, etc! no worries there! Just going to strap on my super woman cape and make it all happen for the next 3 months! :) I've got some really fun Valentine's ideas to share so look forward to those in the next coming weeks!
