A lot going on

A bit of time has passed since I have posted....

There is a lot going on in my neck of the woods..

*Trying to organize a garage sale (which I will post when I have it-- if any locals are interested)

*Supporting my husband through multiple tests/interviews he's had to go through for a job he is applying for (crossing my fingers and praying he gets it!!!)

*Taking on a new endeavor.. which I will post soon

and much much more.. unfortunately with everything going on I haven't had the time to do any art lately or put anything new up for sale :(

Things should settle down soon and I will back in a good routine again.

I have some fabulous new vintage material (darling for BABY books) packages I will be putting up for sale soon on ETSY along with awesome Vintage paper packs! I will post them on my journal when I get a chance to put them up for sale. TOO much to do TOO little time..

I have a tendency to get WAYYYYY ahead of myself.. my brain goes a million miles an hour with TONS of ideas and by the time I get around to them I am so spent/so stressed out I don't have the energy.. I need to just SLOW things down a bit so my body and my actions can catch up to my brain.

My husband gave me a little reality check this morning. I've had some recent ideas of grandeur  that I have been acting on and he (the more rational/practical part of the 2 of us) pointed out some things to me based on my personality and the way I am. I was so stressed out (by my own doing)until he pointed a few things out to me. I made a few minor changes and I feel sooooo much better!!!

Like I said.. I get way ahead of myself way too fast.. I am glad I have someone near me to bring me back to real life and look at things with a more practical point of view.

More to post soon!

I have a hubby that grounds me, as well! We are blessed.
Looking forward to seeing your new stuff!

ha! I'm exactly the same way, except that the universe usually puts me in check (or knocks me down a peg) with back stuff and all my commitments go poof!

It's wonderful to hear you so excited about new ideas :)

I sent you an email about ArtFest & housing with us ... did you get it?

I've missed you and can't wait to hear about all of the new exciting things you have going on! Oh, and good luck with the garage sale! I'm the garage sale queen so if you need any advice, just LMK. ;-)

know JUST how you feel!! i am going at about a zillion miles an hour--trying to finish off commitments i've made for art projects, wanting to start packing up the house for the move, trying to organise things for california--finally burst into tears last night--it all just got a bit much!! like you i have a wonderful husband who brought me back down off the ceiling with a few well chosen words!! it WILL all get done--i guess we just need to do what we can and believe that the rest will all fall into place! not always easy!!--but it will. thinking of you!
