I want to play!

I want to get my hands dirty and inky and painty and just sit/stand out in my studio and just play until something happens that looks fun and funky and just kewl because I got to play and learn and have my materials begin to meld as they do when you get to play with them for more than 10 or 20 minutes.
That was a very long running sentence but I think my point has been made.  I am back to grabbing time just to quickly put ink to paper then have it not be what I wanted at all but no time to figure out what to do with it next.  I have homemade colored mist all over my kitchen island, on a couple of scrap papers and a quick couple of pages in my journal.  None of it looks anything like anything.  They are just speckled color obviously sprayed on the page.  LOL
Maybe THIS weekend I will get a chance huh?
I'll stop complaining now.  I am actually in a mood about something entirely different.  But I really don't want to go there this late.  No sleep in 5 days can make a person cranky as an old lady when her shows aren't playing.  Or when the president is on!  Good Night

February is almost over

So I started a new job!  it is for an online scrapbooking store called, BlueMoon Scrapbooking.  I really like the vibe they have it is such a positive place. The owner is great.  If you have not shopped here before you gotta try.  He calls every customer to let them know their order is being shipped and of there are any issues he will work it out.  Always with a great attitude.  I hear some of the calls and I tell ya, it may be impersonal to use a computer to shop but they make it personal by touching base and letting you know your order and business is important to them.
I am really glad to be back in the game out in the world even if it is only a little.  I got to start out slow and that really helped me build up my stamina.  We all know I don't sit so the only obstacle was staying on my feet for 6 or more hours at a time.  but I'm doing ok.  I had a couple of days, not in a row, that I had to beg off going in.  I've held up fairly well.
I am so glad to get back in the Paper Crafting world again too.  So much out there I missed and so much out there on it's way!  I am not sure I will actually make any money.  but I WONT be using other wise budgeted funds for my habit.  If you look back through my history I have always worked to fund my wants.  When I wanted a car to drive I worked to have the payment.  when I wanted to keep my computers going I worked teaching others how to use them to keep me in ink and equipment.  So know I work to keep me in scrap-booking supplies.  That I of course hoard. LOL.  Hopefully I will have some art project or scrapbook something of other done to post.
Other than that I have been Pinterest(ing) like crazy!  So many Canned Ham ideas and home decor ideas to figure out how I can do.  :)
God Bless and Good Night!
