Wind, Rain, Heat and cold

well it is no wonder everyone has sinus issues! Once a year is ok with me but this one has last forever! meanwhile while staying up i have been creating cards from some fun clip art which i have posted on the www.12stepstampers.com site under anonymous images. I am at least using up my scraps of paper those lovely scraps that are piling up.

I finaly made a decision to make an altered small book for the principal that is leaving our sons school. and some fun stuff for the teachers. It is getting down to the wire on the decision but i finaly made one! so i got to get to it! now! plus i hear it is going to be windy today and tommorrow ugh! not looking forward to that but at least it is not too hot or too cold but just right.!

On the otherside of a store you look at things different as i was waiting on customers i found looking across at other items and thinking wow i just had a thought of what i can do with that. It was funny, if i could have found a worktable within a few inches i probably would have said excuse me i need to complete this. So as i waited i had to grab a pen and jot down a few ideas and thoughts.

People laughed at the sayings i had on my cards and i thought they were cheery and funny too! You know you can now just put your own word on cards and it is ok! I saw some real old photos and they were funny just to look at i could automaticaly think of things i would say to the photos. probably 20 years from now a generation will look at our photos and put captions to them too!

I will have to post some cards soon, unfortunately my camera does need some downloading to clean up photos before i can take more.

Flea markets

wow I really missed going to flea markets, seeing all the people and looking at everyones favorite things. Have you noticed how much glass slides are in, fun to make and create. But you cant wear them all! I am lucky to change earings! yikes. well i am down with sinus stuff, those windy days we had took its toll, blowing all the stuff around and apparently attached to me! Tonight is somewhat better, and ready to refocus on working up some cards. Got some cool ATC stuff but thinking of using them in an altered book instead. Going to get some zzzz's and dream about it.

Sleep?

Huh? well now that i have the time, I can't seem to sleep. I don't actualy go into deep sleep. I turn and think then i turn and wonder. Maybe my internal clock is confused as to what time it is. I do like to wander at night when it is quiet and no questions being asked - the sound of humming from the pc. I actually get some things accomplished but then realize i need to try and get some sleep so i can function in the day. Oh and today would have been perfect it was raining and cool, nothing better than sleeping but i was reading afew pages and realized i still wasnt asleep. I maybe getting less now than when i worked 80 hours a week! I need to ponder this and figure it out. Or i guess i need to be getting alot of cards and pages done. I hope everyone else is getting some sleep and not up reading blogs! ahhaha I do that sometimes cause thats when i find time! Oh and i have to get that gallery done! hey i did get some journals done and i am ready to get some more going.

Oh Scraps!

where do we get all these scraps! Well i am going to make some cards. I have been looking and finding all these bits and pieces and now have a table full. Decided to sit down and create. Just have to get going on it and get it done. I like to put the stamp pieces then look for the scraps to put it together. I also am working on a gallery of photos so you can have some inspiration or ideas.

That Anonymous Store

Well this is the beginning, not of an end. As AJ says a wild ride i like that phrase cause it is true! I have a work area now that looks like those artful ones that is always creating, not the neat tidy ones!

My first inspiration amid all the boxes and caos is a project fufi gave me, it was hard at first to get going on it but i finaly got motivate and the inspiration came out! i put energy and feelings into it and finaly realized i was able to function with getting this done and healing some wounds.

9 years of hard work and the most important thing that we were trying to accomplish has finaly come to the deciding factor and health has priority. The store kept us together and able to manage the miracles of D-Delay /autism and Disasterous diabetes. Luckily my health so far has prevailed my two men in my family!
