I am being house inspired lately! Here are 2 sets of scrap booking paper and embellishments that I designed last week using my neighborhood series. I am digging out my watercolors to do girl "summer relax" themed ones today. This should be fun! I am planning on going to the CHA on July and talking to some companies about designing some products for them. I really fell off the wagon for a couple of weeks after the Stationery Show. I have finally found some passion again and made my way back to my studio. I had to clean out my bedroom closet first, completely clean my office and then do some summer planting in my garden. Talk about procrastination! I have even been baking to avoid refocusing on the art. Now the only thing left is getting organized for a garage sale next weekend. OK THAT I won't put before art! Ugh! I do hate having them but do like going to them. Tom is a a garage sale king from childhood. His father was the little old man who bought all the items of real value before 8am. He has quite the vintage toy collection and now laments how eBay has ruined all garage sales. He is probably right. When Tom and I had just gotten married we would grab a cup of Dunkin Donuts coffee and drive around looking for sales. He is good at finding them too. I think he thinks he is going to stumble across that old valuable guitar and have the find of the year! I should probably make someones day and sell my bark cloth curtains that I have had laying around that I have meant to sell on eBay! I actually have quite a bit of vintage costume jewelry too. Hmmmm...we'll see!
