Done!

I'll post my Tea Pot Tuesday Destination card tomorrow. I just don't have it in me to cut and glue another piece of CS tonight. I've been working on the finalizing of this mini album for almost 11 hours. I'm beat. The good news is - the album is DONE!

Yep. My photos for the More Outstanding Mini Albums - Call for submissions have been uploaded into Jessica Acs capable hands. I won't know for a few weeks if Adrian's To-Do List made the cut.

But however it works out, I have a 'first reader' type of mini album for my tootsie pop! The book is centered around all the things she has to do when she comes for a visit. I've done the journaling in simple words and phrases so she'll gradually be able to read it on her own. Hopefully it will be something she'll treasure as she gets older. Her mom isn't the type to 'collect' keepsakes. She hates clutter. So I guess the album will be an Adrian and Grandma thing until she's maybe graduating from High School. What a kick that would be for her to look back on 16 years from now!

And if I know Adrian, she'll love reading the book as much as I've enjoyed making it for her.

Sorry, I can't share more than that. If it's chosen for publication, it can not be previously published anywhere.

Here's hoping you'll get to see it in print!

Creative Blessings!

Magazine Monday

Happy Monday, everyone!

There isn't going to be a new card for today. I'm on the final touches of the mini-album for the More Outstanding Mini Albums submission deadline. Which is tomorrow!

So for today, I'd like to suggest that you click on the I've been featured in Outstanding Mini Albums button to the right and see the new mini albums that Jessica has showcased in the past couple of weeks. The people who submit to her are so very talented. I hope I can produce what she's looking for. I don't want to compete - just fit in.

Creative Blessings!

Happy Monday!

Hello Everyone!

I have about 5 minutes this morning. I have everything organized and spread out across my work surface in prep for the More Outstanding Mini Albums submission - due tomorrow! Yeah, I know. It's a crunch but I had another deadline over the weekend and a speaking engagement. What's an artist to do?

The weather is overcast with on-and-off shower. Beautiful day to have the house all opened up - and me in the basement studio LOL Today would be the perfect day to have that backyard studio with all it's glorious breeze and natural light. Someday!

I can't post pics of the project I'm working on for Jessica's submission call, but I will pop in later today and add a pick of my project-in-progress to give you a sneak peak at my creative mess.

Until then....

Creative Blessings!

Checking In

I know I missed Magazine Monday. I've been busy trying to dig out this house. It seems like I've been trying for over a year to put it back to it's 'new moved in' organization. I think I've finally seeing the light of day.

Of course, that means I've also not been creating. For the first time in months, I can't even find my work table. Need to change that Sunday as the deadline for the OMA submission is on Tuesday. I've done pictures, sketched my layouts and know what embellies I need to shop for on Saturday while I'm in the big city. Put nothing is actually put together yet.

And somewhere between getting that sent off and the following Thursday, I need to come up with at least one (preferably 2) crib quilts in time for my daughter's baby shower. I leave Thursday for Tennessee. I'm not sure the one for my toostie pop will get done. As long as I have the one needed for the shower, I'll be okay.

Splitcoast is having their VSN this weekend -with a rodeo theme. But I'm going out with my husband tomorrow night and I'm speaking at a writers conference on Saturday.

So here's hoping everyone has an awesome weekend and that I have something to post on Monday :-)

Creative Blessings!
