A New Year

It's been a whole year since I last posted on this blog.  I actually created another blog to kind of start fresh... That was back in September and here I am, on the 2nd of January of 2012 wanting to blog and wondering if I should use the new blog or just continue on this one.  Well, Paperspices was my first blog.  I had a lot of fun posting and showcasing the things I was doing back in 2009 when I started getting crafty :-)
So, I decided to keep it! We will continue to grow together and when the time comes, (or a better name comes to mind) we'll part ways.  But for now, here I am.  To help me get into the creative zone again, I've signed up for Alisa Burke's "Create Daily" online class.  I've admired Alisa's work for so long that I decided it was about time to take a class from her and this class is perfect!  It's about finding time to do something inspiring/creative everyday.  Be it a couple of minutes to take some photos or 30 minutes of art journaling, It can be done!  Check out her webpage for more info on her classes!

Welcome 2012.  I'm so ready for you! And to celebrate the new year and the promise of a better me, I created my own manifesto.  I had always loved the Aardvark Manifesto and wanted to make my own.  Yesterday I woke up bright and early and made it.  I used photoshop (which is VERY time consuming for working with type but it's what I have) but InDesign would've been much better.  Anyway, here it is.  I hope you like it and maybe get inspired to make your own!  I already made an order to have it made into a small poster to put in my studio!

Happy New Year and welcome to my blog!

TGIF!

Finally, it's here!! Thank God for Fridays.  They always seem like the beginning of an adventure.  Like anything can happen after 5pm and you have all the time in the world to sleep in, watch t.v, run errands, clean the house, do laundry, get crafty, watch movies, visit friends....etc.  Fridays are a promise that the next 48 hours are entirely yours to use at your leisure.  For me, they are the spring after a week of winter...where everything around me comes alive.  have a great looong spring-like weekend!

I did it!

Finally created a blog! I'd been trying to do it for the longest time and finally it's here. I will use this blog to document a bit of my life and my adventures with paper crafts and photography. Hope you enjoy it and please always feel welcomed to leave suggestions/comments. Thanks for visiting!
