sometimes "done" is good enough

Sorry for the lousy photo...couldn't get the lighting right no matter how hard I tried. Oh well.

Never could quite get this layout to come together to my satisfaction. Love the photos. Not happy with the accents on the right. Love the ghost flower that I slopped some paint on and added the brads to the center. Not happy with the title. Love the tag cut in two and used as a base for the title. Not happy with the flowers at the bottom. Love the sewn photo frame.

Okay, there's more "love"s than "not happy with"s, so it's not a total wash. And it's more photos into the album...and that's always a good thing, right?

the first of many?

Isn't he just the happiest little fella?

It was so fun picking up a crochet hook after so long. And I adore how he turned out! I can see many of this cutie pie to come...probably everyone I know will get one. :D

But this one's for my Mom!

The pattern can be found here at Planet June.

goodbye slump

Okay, I have no photos, no projects to share at the moment. I can't believe it's been a year since I've posted here...it's been a doozy of a creative slump. I have done some layouts this summer, but forgot all about posting them here.

Anyway, I'm sooooo verrrrrry excited! Why? Because those old creative juices are flowing like crazy again! I'm so full of ideas that I'm dying to try. So full of ideas.

And I am DETERMINED to make the time to play. No wonder my life has felt less full of joy lately...that "all work and no play" thing...yeah, it's dead on. Well, NO MORE!!!

Hold me to that, would you?
