I've finally been able to give myself permission to create. All the fear, anger, exhaustion -- was getting to me. It was as if I was feeling so bad, that my mind decided that I had to keep feeling bad. Minds are an interesting place. To think I had to convince myself that I had …
It's finished (mostly). Of course, I still need a door, the outlets need covers, and I need a light -- but other than that -- it is now a usable space. I've even started making some stuff. How fun to set up, uncover, reclaim my supplies. I know there is even more to find. The …
Not sure what prompted this, but I made a bunch of teeny, tiny notebooks. Are the practical? Not really. But it was fun, and kept me occupied for a little while. The words come from this amazing old drawer of rubber stamps I found at a flea market a few summers back. I think I …

Wishing you all lots of hearts and fun on this sunny February day! Stamps by Stampin' Up.
I'm feeling good about the status of my card stash. Recently, it has gotten a little slim so I've been actively working on building it back up. These cards are made with Graphic 45 patterned papers, Tim Holtz paper dolls, and rubber stamps by Stampin' Up, Dyan Reavley, Dina Wakely, Tim Holtz, and who knows …
The mudding of the sheet rock is looking great! I can now see how I can use this space. It's getting me all motivated and stuff. Things I'm thinking about: Moving all my supplies upstairs. Getting a DJ set up and playing around. I may have watched a lot of Hip Hop Evolution on Netflix …
