A little of this, a little of that
I gave blank handmade cards to the grown ups in my family this year for Easter.   My mom is always asking me to make her a few for this birthday or that event so I thought a few spring sentiments might be  a nice treat.
 I have been dieing to do another piece of jewelry but I just cannot commit to the first bead.  I find myself staring at my bead organizer, considering, debating, completely unfamiliar of my style.

I am archiving four generations of photos and memorabilia which includes scanning, restoring, cataloging, and scrapbooking their incredible family history.  Needless to say, my office is a disaster:

 I have to report a breakthrough I had last night.  I have really been struggling with the back page of my art journal page design for the swap.  I have started and discarded a number prototypes, but last night it came to me and I am feeling a huge relief.  What a goofy thing to feel stressed out about - right?  Here are a few of my attempts...
