I should be doing housework right now but decided to come on blogger and see what was happening. One hour later, I am still here. Will have to get back to it after this post though, the dog needs walking. I think he's given up on me. Take care.

Especially with all the cool projects people are coming up with on blogland I cant help but check them out and sometimes trying their techniques. So pieces I'm in the middle of often get pushed aside - for a while.<br /><br />Thanks for a chance to win some yummy candy. Should I be the lucky winner, please feel free to leave me a message on my blog as I always check them and get notified by email.

I have been trying to organize and clean up my craft table for 2 weeks so I can remove the Christmas table cloth and replace it with something springy. I have found so many partially finished cards I could spend a week just completing. So I am sticking everything in a box. This is a very bad idea because I just uncovered the box I stuck everything in when I cleaned the table off in Nov. to put the Christmas table cloth on! There's even more unfinished stuff in there! <br /> Hugs, to you Donna!<br /> Debihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00102266631629096453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047286263309535644.post-23902117284850721842013-03-23T08:34:23.651-05:002013-03-23T08:34:23.651-05:00Love this card and now have Brushable Glue on my w...Love this card and now have Brushable Glue on my wish list! I've been doing further thinking on this distraction issue. I am pointing a loving finger at my DH as well. He will ask a question or need something, and then when I head back to the craft area, the idea might have gotten lost. Love him dearly and always will! And, of course, the card or quest is not as important as DH. <br /><br />http://www.afourthlife.blogspot.comkReNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07632504367949442454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047286263309535644.post-31487793214312415682013-03-22T10:57:10.075-05:002013-03-22T10:57:10.075-05:00Lovely card Donna!

So when I'm crafting it takes a long time before I can finish a card or layout.

What a dazzlingly, beautiful, brilliant, fabulous card this is! Love how you dressed up the seahorse charm, too. You do have fun with your stamping, just as it should be. Love to see it! It's impossible to not get distracted in your stamp room, isn't it? I'll be looking for one thing, come across something else, start playng with it, notice how much time has gone by, realize I still need to finish the original project but now it's too late, and consequently I've finished nothing and it's time to cook dinner.

I find stamped images, a wayward die cut, or some card starters and POOF! There's another pile of "wanna do's". Does everyone have a "wanna do" pile, I wonder. Good ideas that never quite made it to the finished stage? Sometimes I put several things I think might work together into a ziploc bag and put it in my craft tote to take to a stamping group or in my luggage to take on a trip with adhesive. I have even been known to send them to a friend as a "kit challenge" for them to assemble so at least they have a new home.....kReNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07632504367949442454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5047286263309535644.post-46840711243080844192013-03-19T23:26:02.440-05:002013-03-19T23:26:02.440-05:00Totally love it!

I don't know which I like (love!) better - all the glitter and sparkle, or the fact that you show lots of close ups. I LOVE getting up close and personal to beautiful art, and your pictures give me the fix I need. This is absolutely breathtaking on so many levels. You are a true artist. And yes, I get distracted in my craft room all the time, usually by something shiny and glittery. Ha!

He's always wanting me to come look at something or find something he misplaced. I do finish my projects when I settle back into them, but sometimes they end up looking completely different than originally planned. Have a great day!
