Happy New Year!

The last few weeks have been so crazy - I've just not had much time online. And, truthfully, the more I wasn't, except to check emails or whatever, the more I realized I needed the break from feeling committed to technology.

I'd set a few small goals for myself, once Christmas was over, that I've sort of met ... did get my stash cleaned out a bit, fixed a little area for my Vagabond & my new Tonic paper cutter - but I'm not sure I've really got myself ready for Brave Girls' "Body Restoration" class yet & I've not hardly touched a journal for Kelly Kilmer's online class - I'll get there. I will.

Anyway, I have gotten a bit inky lately ... did a Zentangle key tag for Angela at Creative Chaos. It felt good to let the brain just go....
And I made T's birthday card - he's a Christmas day baby & is now finally as old as me, again. (lol) 7 Gypsies' "Off the Wall" paper pad with the Stars' paper? Perfect! All my guy wears is Stars - has 20+ pair!
So, the last week, I've spent a lot of time vegging, hanging out with my family, learning how to use my new Nook tablet (what a fun toy! thanks again, T!) - but yesterday, I decided it was time to get back to creating.
This is a Naval Jelly box I've had for a bit, which I've now covered with G45's ABC Primer papers (the 8x8 pad). I'm thinking of making a mini-book to include, as this will be a gift for a friend. Though I have to admit, I'm really liking how this is coming together - I may have to make another for me!
Tomorrow, it's back to reality & that annual joyous time for those of who process payrolls: the preparation of year-end payroll returns, W-2's, 1099's ... all that fun stuff! (Yes, this is a motivational speech to myself! lol) Yep, the anticipation, the excitement is almost more than I can bear! (lol)

I hope 2012 brings us all good health, lots of wonderfully creative energy & whatever else we may each wish for most!
