Taking a break from packing.

Woohoo, wednesday stamper is back up and running. Check out all the fab entries for this week. I sure am blue about the approaching end of summer!!! All I can see right now is that Christmas is here!LOL…

I did cheat a bit, but there is a rubberstamp or 2 in the background!!

In between packing you always need a distraction. Luckily I have a laptop! Here are a few inchies I made last week.

And the container I put them in.

In the midst of packing up for a move one finds so many lovely forgotten items. I am trying very hard to purge, organize and remind myself of all those hidden treasures. I will be putting loads of stuff up for sale and trade. I need to just let go of some things including rubberstamps that I am just not using anymore. Moving provides a great opportunity to do all of the above.

Here is a piece I made today. I was totally inspired by Ruth Rae’s piece in the new Cloth, Paper Scissors. I have always admired her graceful and elegant style.

I forgot to mention the youtube video I uploaded for Michelle’s current crusade, is by Katie Melua; a popular soloist in England. I love her haunting voice and have all her albums. Check it out if you haven’t already.

It has taken me a while but I have been tracking all the great music associated with this month’s crusade. I love the wide variety. Here is a fave artist of mine. Enjoy!

Snatched a few more minutes this week to work in my journal. I really want to pare down as I pack up my artroom to move and stop moving all the junk around with me. I just have to find a good outlet to sell some of the items I really don’t use anymore.

Made these atc’s this week; have a great weekend folks! Glad to have had a bit of a break to discover some creative energy.

I really have to say thanks for all the supportive comments about my being overwhelmed. I took some time out this week to just catch up on all those little niggly bits and pieces that had been eating away at me. I feel much better for just taking a few hours a day for myself. Try it; it works wonders. I got some major house cleaning done in preparation for yet another move (we moved back from London exactly a year and 2 days ago) and I did take time to make a page for a rr I am in. Thanks!

I had some unexpected visitors from London and work has been so busy that lately I have been feeling totally overwhelmed. I know everyone periodically will get this feeling of drowning under the weight of the world and all I can say is that it eventually passes. My thoughts go out to all those feeling overwhelmed with expectations and obligations. I am looking forward to getting a breather later this week….It will come for you too.
