New Links

OK--thanks to my friend, Mara, I have linked to a couple other blogs from other well-known scrappers. You know the likes of Donna Downey and Heidi Swapp. I am hoping by reading their blogs that a little creativity rubs off on me. I love all their items, and each one has such positive force as you read their entries, how can the good creative karma not rub off.

I had the pleasure of meeting Heidi Swapp last spring at the CK Convention here in Phoenix. I will never forget what she said over the microphone, "I go all out, and I don't know what is appropriate at these things (meaning crops) but I tend to overdo things..." She had such electricity, and she did "overdo" it for the good--Everyone ended up walking away with product, or project that they worked on with her, or some other memory of a fabulous night. Her blog is the exact same--you can feel that energy coming through.

Donna Downey's blog has challenges to her readers, which I think is great--that should get my creative juices flowing. She is another one that you can just feel her energy. I keep saying energy but its true--I love to scrapbook, and you can tell these women do too; therefore it's easy to pick up on--now if just the immense creative talent they have will transfer the same way. Ha-ha.

TGIF!

So, we have reached another end to a week. When you are little you think the weeks drag on and on; but the weekends go fast. I am convinced that as you get older the weeks fly by, and the weekends are just a blur. Where does time go?

For instance, we are interviewing contractors for our major home improvement, and I keep saying to myself, "Next week, I will get it done then. Hopefully, have a contractor on board by Christmas." Now, I will be lucky if it happens by February. Time should go as fast as you want it to, not as fast as it is. Right now, I would like it to slow up just a bit, so I can get a little more done.
