Well Julia over at Stamping Ground is having the same time as me right now I have to say, no smugness over here Julia, all shame too.
On my workdesk today is the cereal box bars left over from my giveaway art journal. If you watched the video tutorial you may have seen them, as well as my mother (who as mothers do went checking up with what I was doing - yes mama I know you'll be reading this too at some point, hello! hehe). Well when she watched the video she literally laughed out loud at the cereal bar boxes I had piled up on my desk. So the shame came and now I am turning these into journals also, though with different techniques to the one I showed you in the video, but still all with more scrap papers. Slow process though as this month I seem to be having a million and one projects I wish to complete & all I'm doing is adding more to the fire. Anyone else feeling that? I so want to put it down to a bewitching September lull than my dire working style lol well whatever you're making I hope it's coming on faster for you than mine are for me at present. Hugs Jenny x
I know what you mean about having too much on, and then more turns up! Hope you are ok - did the bag turn up in the post?? Hugs, LLJ xx
ReplyDeleteNow if I'd actually used my brains and looked at your previous post, I'd have seen the bag hanging in your studio!! What a duh-brain I am!! So glad you like it and I'm glad it's going to be your studio bag :D Hugs, LLJ xx
ReplyDeleteGood idea !
ReplyDeleteBeen slow for me too
Great idea, they look amazing. Am going to check out the tutorial. Although I don't buy cereal bars so....
ReplyDeleteThose boxes look cool! Thanks for sharing! Happy WOYWW! -Amanda
ReplyDeleteJust go with the flow...because your art is gonna be awesome when you get it done...and if you're working on a gazillion pieces at a time...the better for us!
ReplyDeleteAt least you can see your work table... :) Mine is covered in all sorts of different projects that have been sitting there forever:)

hey jenny, remind your mom that it's all heredity, which should make you get many more compliments in the future, hehehe. xoxo
ReplyDeleteLook forward to seeing what they turn into!
ReplyDeleteSeptember is always a hard month - dark evenings don't help either!
September has been a bit odd this year, usually it's much warmer than this and doesn't feel like the end of summer, but this year it does.

Hi Jenni, I had to laugh out loud when I read this, I so relate, I've been trying to get through the list of projects, but adding new ones. I have made quite a few journals out of cereal boxed, for some reason thought I was the only one, yours are great, and I have been totally inspired! I've been trying to clear my workspace, and make things more accessible...so that I can get more work done, and try not to get inticed into trying something else, have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteNo, my project list is growing rather than reducing too - just seem to get one project out of the way when another gets slotted onto the end of the list! Like your box journals and think they are a great way of using up some paper scraps.
ReplyDeleteI’ve a giveaway over on my blog, you might like to take a look at:- http://silverscrappers.blogspot.com/2011/09/my-memories-suite-digital-software.html

Hi there, thanks for sharing your creative space this week, I enjoyed visiting and hope you have fun for the rest of the week. Your projects are beginning to take shape and look great.
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean- its always 'feast or famine' isn't it? I find I either have loads to do, and not enough time, or Mr Mojo has gone missing, and nothing works.Happy WOYWW, Shaz
ReplyDeleteAt least mom can rest now, you are actually doing something with those boxes! Love it by the way.
ReplyDeleteHappy WOYWW on Friday
