Chaos Reigns!

Wow, this is just not pretty. This is the top of my desk, and to the right, the floor behind my desk. Well, I think it is, anyway. It has remnants and vestiges of the last three projects I worked on piled all over it (see the snowflake stamp, glitter and paper from yesterday?). The floor has all kinds of plastic containers filled with paper (remember, I just can't stop buying it!). There is "stuff" everywhere in my stamp room. I vowed to clean it up yesterday, and I have made tremendous headway -- I am almost done and will finish tomorrow and actually show you where I work. In "Clean" mode. I am not a slob -- although you can't tell it by the pictures! I just had too much to do, too little time, and had to make some sacrifices. I filmed 15 techniques in 4 days, and then had 50 cards to finish -- that would be enough to send the best organized person into a tizzy (except, maybe, for Barbara E!).

I have a project to tell you about tomorrow, too -- a technique that didn't quite work out -- one that the junkies will never see, but I will show you here. There is a fine line between art and garbage sometimes... and this isn't art! It will give you insight into how I develop techniques and what criteria I use before I publish something in the newsletter, though, so some of you may find it interesting.

In the meantime, I am off to a barbecue tonight with my family -- we have some fireworks and some apple pie, and I am taking the hostess some beautiful sunflowers. How much more American can that be?
