STILL no ART

STILL no ART.......how can this be????? There won't be much over the weekend either.....working today (gosh...........is that the time???? must fly....well, just a few words), welcome home party tonight & baby shower tomorrow. I am in the euphoric bliss of romance that happens when you have had some extended time apart from your loved one..............just spending lots of family time together. We are surrounded by new life right now, it is a spring of blossoming things..........little Princess 'L' is glowing, having lost her 'newborn' look altogether, she is now gooing, & cooing & kicking furiously in her little rocker with suspended toys.................Our puppies are 3 weeks old now, and SOOOO fat............they have their eyes open & are stumbling around...............and our new little 'grandie' is due in just 6 weeks now.......our daughter in law is in the 'beached whale' stage of pregnancy where she looks bigger everytime I see her..............She is beautiful & we can't wait to hold our new little blessing.......It means there's no art time & I am bursting with ideas right now........(must be all the joy, I feel so creatively alive!!!).....realizing I have missed the deadline for Gisele's tag swap I am tempted to join another journal project along the same theme, however, having had the trouble I just did with one journal topic, I am a little hesitant to sign up for another........there is alot of bravery required to do art!!!! What if people hate it???? At least with the new project (potential) it is a 'tip in' project meaning that you send all your pages at once to a co-ordinator & they are not actually in a bound book, so essentially, if they were REALLY bad, you could just not include that/those pages. The scary thing about the current project is that the books are bound and if you stuff it up..........it's too bad, I tell myself I can always paint over something or 'stick' something over it if it is really bad............but still, it does make you hesitate starting your contribution. I have made a rule for myself that I work on them as soon as I get it (they are mailed the 20th of each month), that way I don't procrastinate & get intimidated by it. I have known since the project started 5/6 months ago what each of the journals are about and when they will arrive, so I have plenty of time to think through what I am going to do. have a great weekend all.................IF I get to art at all, it will be tomorrow night.............so there is hope in the future!!!.........xK
