Where does someone go for weeks on end when they're missing from a blog? Well, mostly to bed.
I have been getting sick, being sick, still being sick, getting well, relapsing...well, you get the picture. Just a nasty sinus infection that moved to my chest and just would not go away, in spite of the medications and the rest. All I wanted to do was sleep.
(Thanks to The Graphics Fairy for the cute ad on the left)
And of course, when I did get up, life intruded and I had a zillion things to do.
I think I answered all of my emails (and oh, my, if I missed you please, please forgive me).
I finished up the Artful Pages - 4 artists 4 ways class, which was a huge success. There was such wonderful feedback from the students of the class for us, both individually and as a group, and it was a treat to play along with everyone. Hope inspired me to try decorative tape...Lisa had me digging out all of my old trims...Lenna had me trying out some new color techniques...don't you just love to see how other artists do things?
The Artful Pages - 4 artists 4 ways class has a fun Flickr group and is now available in self paced format. The class will continue to be available, there's no end date, so you can join us at any time!
It was both fun and horrifying to download the pictures from my camera and realize how much of my blog I was hopelessly behind on...like announcing the winner of last month's Collage Challenge, Leanne from Provoking Beauty.
(By the way, this month's challenge is coming! It's already scheduled to post later today.)
Also on the camera - pictures of the present my son was sweet enough to buy. He saw these and thought of me - they're tiny little Moleskine notebooks...about the size of an ATC!
They're on the left, in case you can't tell! On the right is the pocket size moleskine - the little 3 1/2" X 5 1/2" size I normally use - It looks huge!
Here they are with the average size Moleskine too:
So teeny - they're like little baby Moleskines. I started playing with them at Karla's house - weeks ago, before I got sick. I have a few gluebook spreads started. Here's one that's finished...
What do I do when I am loopy in the middle of the night and half asleep? Play the Hong Kong version of Mahjong of course...
...when I think they should be serving clockwise it is time to go back to bed, I am too far gone even for playing games.
So, what have you been doing while I've been gone?
