Good on you for leaving the old job. Doesn't it lift your spirits to walk away. I did the same a few years ago, having working in different levels of administration for many years. Now I worked in aged care, visiting dear oldies and I've never had such job satisfaction. to go home from work each day, knowing that i've been appreciated and made a difference to someones day is priceless. Love your blog, there are some similarities that I can relate to.

I did that about 1 1/2 years ago, but have yet to get another one. I'm getting bored with staying home now, so I should probably get another job soon. Your map is cute. I haven't done any large mod podge projects yet.

I'm very happy to hear that your new position will be more flexible and I can feel that you're already much happier. <br /><br />The map project is adorable and I really love the wrinkles in it - I agree it adds character. The fact that your son likes it is all the better. Yes, I too, love peeling glue off my fingers LOL!!

The map was huge though and we had to make the canvas. I tried mod podge and that didn't really go too well. Luckily, I had a backup map, so I tried spray mount and that went better. It's starting to come a little undone now though :(<br /><br />I totally get what you are saying about the job...it's no fun working somewhere that makes you unhappy. I hope trying something new will work out wonderfully for you.<br /><br />xo TriciaTriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00974419983321226169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9094391411974678162.post-55808860675489795682011-08-08T22:56:34.204-04:002011-08-08T22:56:34.204-04:00I love it Michelle!
