Off & On... ON AGAIN

 BUMP... revisiting my todo list.

EDITED TO ADD (30 Aug 2010).  bump.  Time to resume on my running TODO list... woohoo. 

...that might be an appropriate summation for how things have gone for me this last year.  I feel so on again/off again....AND its so unpredictable when this will happen.  Don't know about you but I love this time of year.  I know we can get a fresh start each and every day but there is just something about the New Year that says DO-OVER.  I love do-overs.  Also, it puts me in a cleaning mood.  Actually I like to clean, I find it very Zenlike.  Not only that, it somehow "orders" my mind.  I like that.  I am also a list person, list making somehow orders my mind too.  (...as in organize).  I don't have any pix to coordinate with this post but I thought I'd just pop in and say HI and post the Short List of projects I'd like to work on, finish etc... in no particular order or urgency.   This is the list I came up with while taking inventory as I was dusting my artist studio.  I am also going to have a couple of items For Sale.  I will create a separate post for these things.

Just Be Journal.... 1 for me, 1 for my sister...

My laptop (Mac) is docked to a larger monitor, keyboard and wireless mouse.  I have it propped on a upside down wire basket to keep the air flow.  Notice... NO dust.

Left wing of craft space  (AKA SHE-CAVE), mainly, notice clear spot on table.   This is the main center.   The big Kahuna where all the magic happens ;)

 Moving to the right....mainly, notice clearing on table.  This is my cutting and ribbon center

Moving to the right....mainly, notice clearing on table.  This is the idea center.  I store all of my idea books and catalogs here.
