Creative Altered Composition Journals

So Yeah, It's cold outside. It has been since October. I call this the winter that never ends. The wood shop has no heat and it's really put a crimp in my woodworking. I didn't pre plan for winter did I?

"Must create, Must create, Must create!" my brain has been screaming at me.

Sooooo who was I not to listen? I started altering composition notebooks. A project that can be done in the warmth of your house. I am LOVING how they are coming out! Going to put them in my Etsy shop. It will kinda ruin the whole old -time ambiance of the shop but don't care at this point. Just want to keep my creative addiction fed and I am happy!

I miss you Pam!

9 Years ago ( I can't believe this it seems like yesterday) I lost my Best friend of 22 years to Breast Cancer. There is not one day that goes by that I don't miss her. She was 39. She was extremely talented in everything she did and she encouraged you to always be the best you could be. When I make crafts, work in the woodshop, make candles or tarts, or just whatever I decide to create, I think of Pam. I think of how much she would have loved what I am doing and ideas she would have given me. She would have had one or two internet stores herself!.

Right now I am in a bit of a creative slump and having troubles with pictures. If Pam was still here on this earth I would have called her or we would have gotten together, had a glass of wine, laughed at silly things, talked about everything under the sun and before I could realize it was happening, my mind would be full of new creations and pictures would come easily!

I dedicate my Internet stores to You, Pam. I know you are watching.

It's a new year. Please have your mammograms done.
