Digi Dare 139

































I've been a horrible blogger recently. Just too much going on. Little creative juices flowin'. I just feel like I'm at one of those crossroads in my life. I'm not sure where I'm going or what I want to do. I feel angry and upset and just not me. So thats where this layout is coming from. It was a digi dare. I love those dang dares. If nothing else they'll give ya the oomph to get something done. No matter what you are feeling like. I made this late last night and did very little actual writing down what each piece part came from. Forgive me. Mostly its Mysterious Melancholy kit (again from after five designs I love that kit.), some creation 23, rocks and metal from the by the sea collab kit on after five. The fonts are scratchy alpha from after five and fff fusi.

I had a great time in Alabama with my crafty buddy, Sherrie. She took me to Hobby Lobby where they had their copic markers on sale! We don't have a Hobby Lobby in FL. So I decided to jump in and got about 7 copic markers. I LOVE them. I will be showing some stuff made with them soon. If you wonder if the expensive little buggers are worth it? They so are. LOVE THEM. I watched a few you tube how to use them and that really helped.

Off to go get our weekend going. I made instant bacon grits this morning and I feel like I ate nothing! I'm starving! More coffee will help. My coffee isn't nearly as good as Sherries. I miss it Sherrie!! Miss you guys! We love you! Send me those pics of us on the train or send me the pic of us together on your phone to my phone.

A very touching layout! One thing to always remember: you are entering a new season of your life, Leo into the 2's soon, Logan going to school full time, you going back to school, etc. It is A LOT! I think all women take these shifts of seasons hard. I had one not long ago and it was tough for me too. Just remember.... and this too shall pass. It is a great time to think about and focus on the positives and celebrate the blessings. Joy will come again soon!

Would you believe my neighbor came home from the beach with a bag of Seatle's Best "Twilight Blend" coffee for me???? It's very rich and very good!

p.s. when I can find where the kiddos put the small camera I will upload the pics and send you some. (sigh)
