Everything. My fatigue....the mess in my studio.....the fact that dinner was completely overlooked tonight.....the kitchen still not painted. I just keep attributing it all to that spring ahead business. I like the convienence of a one stop, go-to excuse. Blaming everything on daylight savings time really keeps things organized and easy. I can't believe it's only been a week since I was on the phone with Michelle discussing how she completely forgot about it, how I thought we were turning the clock back in order to "gain" an hour, and how Carlos thought we were actually going to be doing time travel with the finagling of the clock (he still isn't convinced by me nor his father that he didn't actually travel through time that Saturday night).
So, as it turns out, my fatigue this week was caused by low white blood counts. And the rest of my list? Well, that's just me being lazy. With the exception of the field trip on Thursday (after which I slept for four hours), I have slept until 12:00pm everyday and then meandered around the house. I had to cancel my get together with Amy and Dana. And I still have not visited Paper Tales in six months (yes. I know. It hasn't been six months; but it feels like it.) Since Wednesday's treatment, I've basically spent my time playing with the boys and doing some creating.
These little babies are some tags that I've been working on for quite some time. Like the Easter eggs, I've taken the wait and see and then wait some more approach. It's been really enjoyable sitting down to create without any expectations of finishing.
This batch is made with copies of some wonderful vintage wrapping paper that I have. After gluing it down, I just embellished away. I love this bird design so much I think I'm going to make a few more things with it.
I started some other tags too. For one set, I'm using one of my favorite Karen Russell papers. And the other set is a black and cream design. I'm thinking that maybe I will put them up on Etsy as a kit. What do you think? They take so long to make that the price tends to be rather high for a gift tag. But I thought that I could at least manage to put some kits together.......hopefully.....
Talk to you soon! Karin
