I know what you’re thinking. WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN? I will tell you where…

Moving.

And in case you are wondering… moving sucks when you are a hoarder. Here are the stats…

  • 86 boxes packed and moved from my studio.
  • 14 more boxes of craft goodness found in my storage, and moved to the new office.
  • 6 boxes of stuff PURGED.
  • 1 table given a new home.

Conclusion.. I am never going to be able to put my office back together and I have a hoarding problem. If you would like to join me in this adventure stay tuned. Tomorrow is DAY 1 of my Studio Adventure.

Back from beyond…

So I am back. After a month of sheer madness, I think I am finally ready to be back. This week is amazingly busy. I am taping my class for TrueScrap and doing some filming with My Craft Channel for my show CraftTech.

So you may be wondering where I have been… well… just caught up in life.

I have said before, that my creativity has its peaks and valley’s. And the business of life, the stress of work, and some major life changes has left me with little creativity. During these times of creative low, I choose to not fight it. Instead I like to simply keep it at a low simmer. I look for inspiration in the world around me, online (Pinterest is like CRACK for these dry creative times), and even by just taking time to reacquaint myself with some of my favorite products. Fighting it just makes this part of my creative cycle painful. I feel guilty because I am not creating. I feel terrible that I don’t have the house decked out in its usual seasonal sparkle. But like life – my creativity ebbs and flows.

Now, after some weeks off – I am feeling that spark again. And I promise.. very soon to share some spring fabulousness.

Pinterest Monday Valentines Day

Dont you just love the new year? I know I do. It’s the time I year that try to reignite my creativity… and this year – finally do a purge and redesign of my creative work space.

Along with my creative goals, is a goal to be a much better blogger. And TODAY is that day. I don’t have a ton of blog followers, but my “regulars” are pretty awesome. And I thank you for always being supportive. With that, lets kick off Pinterest Monday. Every Monday I will be sharing my favorite Pinterest finds. Then later in the week, I will be sharing what I create based on the inspiration I find!

Of course this is a blog, so there will be plenty of other posts and goodies along the way, but I figure. This will be a good start! Enjoy this week’s finds on my Valentine’s board. I’m adding more to it every day and can hardly wait to get cracking at the some fun Valentines day decor!
