Day 4 --

I left this drying last night in MaggieGraceWorld.

A cute little bird tag - actually not all that little - it is a 4x4 inch square. The bird image is a scan that I printed by accident onto textured sticker paper. I actually printed several of these onto sticker paper accidentally - I was in a hurry and forgot to reload the printer. I had no idea what I was going to do with them, so I piled them into the stash and promptly forgot about them. Last night I decided to try and see if I liked bigger tags made for the Show. I do like these, so I'll be making a bunch of them to use up all these misprinted images.





I was in the studio a LONG time last night. Like 2+ hours.

I have been working in this little area and frustrated by the space issue. So I started last night on one end of this counter and cleaned and put away all the sh*& I had piled on it. I cleaned and tossed and put away papers and items that should have been done as I went. Guilty - making stuff is so much more fun than cleaning up. That is, until it becomes a source of frustration. Then it requires a concentrated effort to fix before I can relax.

Look what the end result was --- room to work --- YAY. The coffee can is a catch all for the crap I have no idea what to do with. All of the white backsplash area is dry erase board so I can make notes - etc - let me tell you how handy that is I can write measurements or lists or brainstorms easily. Love it. I also kept a long skinny leftover of the material and use it to make to do lists or shopping list stuff on - a true piece of junk that has turned out to be very handy.

Another handy feature is the ruler countertop edging. Love it too.

Now here's the list I promised

Yes there's a lot on there -- some will be edited off I'm sure.

I have a beautiful and busy life.

Have a great weekend.
