Let them make tea…

what are you making

Jon and I are both participating in Thing a Day for the month of February. On the eve of this we are both trying to figure out what we are going to make each day. I have decided to make tea- at least while I am thinking about it.
I so often feel like making something or writing something, but I am caught with this huge feeling of- but what (imagine in a very whiny voice- the more annoying the better- this voice is not pleasant). So today I decided that when I am feeling this way- I will make a cup of tea. I will make something. Realizing that I make stuff all the time- tea, the bed, words put together in ways that I like, yummy food, pretty pictures with paint and paper. I make a lot of stuff. Truly.

Now to some other things that I am excited about- like Shimelle’s Journal exercises for every day in February. How wonderful is that and another great answer to the “but whats.” Then there is this lovely new Inspiration Zine that also looks to be quite wondermous as well.

All of this loveliness swirling around me and helping me deal with my dreaded affliction. I am all excited about the month of February for so many reasons now… and that is truly wonderful- for February has not often been a month that I have looked upon fondly. So cheers for February and lovely people and projects that help with the “but whats.”

Worth a Thousand Words Class

Well, over the last several days I embarked in completing a book for Shimelle’s class, Worth a Thousand Words. I had a lot of fun doing this one and took it as a chance to take a quick overview on the past year of my life. It turned out to be quite interesting to me, but I also realized that there are a lot more than a thousand words in these photos.

I think, also, with this project it is official… I am scrap booking here.  I actually got a kit for this…although I did not use it as intended… a kit was purchased none the less. I got the Cosmo Cricket Card Lacing Kit and some Bazzil Card stock… I had a lot of fun with it…. and I have a lot of little bits and bobs leftover. Which will be great because I am think that I will revisit this project in some of the other forms as they are presented throughout the class.

If you would like to take a look at the rest of my book take a look here on Flickr.
