Not sure what was going on, but yesterday was NOT a good day. I was emotional, cranky, tired, and just blah. I had to do laundry and basically just sat around most of the day while I waited for loads to need switching. In the afternoon, I finally decided I needed to do something constructive so I picked crafting. I started by picking a new journal out of my pile of empty journals and grabbing some collage items - paper, stickers, washi. I went to work creating a collage journal page that was space themed. It turned out pretty good for my first attempt. Feeling pretty good, I kept up the crafting momentum and tried a new stamping technique. Not sure what it is called, but I learned about it from another Stampin' Up! demo during a watercolor webinar. You use your ink pads and blending brushes to create a background piece on Fluid 100 watercolor paper. You then take a stamp, lightly mist it with water and press it onto the inked background. Hold for a few seconds, lift it off and then stamp it onto a piece of basic white cardstock. Use a paper towel to blot the inked piece and absorb the excess water/ink. Clean your stamp and repeat as much or as little as you would like. I have been wanting to try that technique since I saw it and finally got the chance to play around. It took me forever to find good color combos and I am pretty pleased with the two I came up with.
Hey there! So it's been a weird few days for me... Sunday was mainly awesome - I was at work from 12:45 pm to 11:45 pm, mostly working, but also working out... During my work period I got to ogle a lot of hot guys since it was the first night of basketball and we had a lot of new teams (I work at a health club and run the men's basketball league). During my workout I ran a mile! I know that doesn't seem like a lot, but when you weigh almost 250 pounds and are trying to get back into shape, this is a big deal... I also started on one of my stories during one of the slower basketball games. I'm glad I can multitask or I would get soooo bored trying to keep score at these games. Monday was unusual - I didn't go into work until 4:30 because I was up until about 1am since I had to work Sunday night. I did next to nothing during the day (watched TV and read some fanfics, nothing productive...) yet somehow when I got to work I was super cranky and it made my shift go b...
