Unexpected Destination
This is such a great article I couldn't help but share incase anyone didn't see it. I love how Debbie writes.
YES, Indeed!

If you don't hear from me again...
I've died and you can find my body under the mound of paper in my scrap space.
I also would like to ask that if before 4:00.. you see me on facebook, twitter, Get It Scrapped .. that you refuse to speak to me. I'm not strong enough to not talk to you.. I'll post, I'll whine, I'll update my status.. send a tweet.. but you have to be strong for me.. you have to ignore it and not encourge me to keep chatting, posting or updating.
I have to do this.. I have a LOT to do between now and wednesday (kit kick-off day)
So please send me postive clean/purging/organizing thoughts.. I have all my toys and all my kiddos toys on my agenda this week..
I'll post after shots.. for before shots just imagine any home on Clean Sweep.. and that's my scrap room. It was the last of the rooms to be done and when any object in any other room did not have a 'home' it was placed in my scrap room to deal with later..
It's later.

Feeling like Beyond Thunderdome
I know I posted how fun today was playing in the backyard and I'm grateful we have a nice little (stress on the little) square of grass and can play outside... but man I miss greener pastures.. I was just visiting Doris' blog and she has a woody pic with her son and a friend fishing in a stream and it all just makes me miss michigan so much.. I will someday be used to this dirt and brown.. used to feeling like I'm on the set of Thunderdome ;) .. and my kids are growing up in it.. not really knowing what they are missing out on.. that across the nation most sprinklers are to water grass.. not found in cement parks to keep kids from heat strokes ;) LOL
This isn't a complaint or pity party regardless of how it sounds just a statement of longing to visit some green.. may have to head up to Mt. Charleston this coming week to get my fill.

Never again...& I am a pusher :)
I'll never make an ugly card again. I just recently deleted all the old images of the cards from a Survivor game I played on Willow Traders.. and I am going to have some fun and make pretty cards like this:
We chatted with Tania about her class on cards last night she is fantastic and I seriously love that big blue flower up there! If you have any idea how cool I think Tania is.. she taught a class Embellishments Beautifully Handmade and last night shared that nearly half her embellishments are handmade.. now what a cool way to use up the precious scraps and baubles you have collected!
I'm making an official announcement.. I will be handmaking all my cards for birthdays and christmas from this class forward. I know Tania will make it easy peasy!
It's a great way to wind down the 'school year' at Get It Scrapped.. there's also Scrapbooking your Everyday Life with Debbie and Masterful Art Journaling is just at the half way point but not too late to join..
by this point in the post you're wondering how I'm a pusher.. well Ms Cindy Lou Snorty Pants.. oh yeah I posted that name in a blog! Emailed me this morning asking how Pattie Knox had another class with Still More Mad Digital Skillz and I laughed. I have no idea how much more Pattie knows about Digital Skillz.. but I know the pdfs are always packed! (not to mention the amount of freebies you get.. I think I even saw an Ali Edwards download this time?) So because I love my friend so much .. I'm going to be your pusher, watch your inbox girlie you should be receiving confirmation on your enrollment.. I want to see you go mad with all the skillz! ;)

Days later..
I finished my art work. I had it on the kitchen floor and added a layer of paint whenever I could sneak in there for a moment or while cooking.. but here it is finished.
I loved this quote in Dina's class materials (Masterful Art Journaling at Get It Scrapped). Between this class and the doodling class by Michelle I'm realizing that the things I admire the most and wish I could do .. are the things I practice least and therefore am not as good at. So I aim to hang this on my wall in my scrap room and remember to just do it and not care and then eventually i'll be tolerably well at both art journaling and doodling.. (and making them eyes Michelle!)
