I have spent most of the week working on new projects and finishing up a ton of old layouts that needed that last little bit of work.
It felt so so good! Ive been feeling really down and haven't had much time for me and the down-ness has robbed me of my mojo too. Its been taking me forever to get a layout done. Usually I just sit and push paper around not getting anything done.
wow. what a difference this weekend. The more I worked on my projects the easier it got. Then I kicked it into hyper gear. My total as of last night 15 layouts!!!!! It felt so good to get a ton of projects completed. I had a bunch of layouts from crops that needed extra embellishments or paint or journaling so I dug them all out and finished almost the whole stack. I also have a bunch of new projects I needed to get done of Project Memorabilia and my Creative Soup design team projects. Im feeling super positive about the work Ive done too. I usually am my worst critic but I really tried to relax and just enjoy the process. And I think it made my work better.
Oh and to top it off Jess came over on Saturday and we spent the prettiest day we have had scrapping in my basement. lol. It was nice to spend time together. I haven't seen her in a while and to cap the evening off we wen out to dinner with Jess' friend from work to a "upscale" Cuban place in midtown. The foor was just average but the mojitos and company were excellent! I really liked Ellen and now that Jess has told me shes going to teach me how to knit I hope to see more of her (She and Jess go to a knitting group right by my house)
Anyways it was a super creative, restful, soul recharging sort of weekend. Just what the Dr ordered!
