    Life’s short…play


    I had a chance to play last evening. I broke out my “just for fun” AB.

    Since I was in a sort of playful silly mood…likely because my sweet husband took the kids out and gave me some much needed peace…I threw down this fun polka dot tissue paper.

    It just made me smile so I included my feelings of the moment. Or maybe it was just the wine.
    Just kidding!!

    Sail


    I decided to pull out my “just for fun” altered book to use up some scraps on my work surface.

    Well, technically, the tall ship packing tape transfer was adhered to the cabinet door. Everything else was just laying within reach both on the desk and the small drawer that I throw random small scraps into while creating. Bigger scraps go into my color coded files eventually.

    It was really fun working in an altered book again. It’s been a while…

    Completed old projects..starting new



    I finally bound some old tip-in and smaller size pages into one book this week.

    I’m on a mission to finish all these UFO’s (unfinished objects) I’ve started somewhere along the line.

    I was chatting with a neighbor just this evening over the bonfire about memory and lack thereof. Is it Adult-ADD or short-term memory loss but whatever you want to call it…I’ve got it!!! Geez… I can’t walk down the 2 sets of stairs to the basement and remember what the heck it was I went down there for!
    OK…I think I’m on a tangent now….

    My original point was…I have a ton of projects started or even nearly complete but never seem to tie up all my loose ends. THAT is my new mission.

    With that said….haha…I have started a new project or more of a challenge. It’s a call for art from Somerset Memories magazine. It can be either a group or an individual using ONE IMAGE to create a multitude of art. Of course since it will be up for submission I won’t be showing what I’ve created until I’ve heard the news either way… I hope to get my projects in the mail next week for consideration.
