ART JOURNAL PAGE AND 3 MORE FREEBIES AND BLOG GIVEAWAY!!
Wednesday, July 30, 2008 Edit This 51 Comments »
Good Morning (and yes! it's 4 am something, and I have been up for an hour)! The electricity went off at 3am, which always wakes me up, because I get hot, and can't sleep. So, for an hour or so, I lit candles, carried a flashlight, and walked around in the dark. I even went outside and played with Petey the Wonderdog! Then, I played with the melted candle wax for a bit, and found some cookies, and looked at pictures in a book by flashlight...it's so hard having such an active mind. I couldn't just roll over and go back to sleep like a normal person, or like my husband....NOOOOOO...I have to get up and find ways to amuse myself while I stew over the fact that there is no electricity. Of course, after about 30 minutes with no internet, radio or TV, I went waltzing back in the bedroom to wake up my husband. It's his job to amuse me, when I can't amuse myself--RIGHT??? He shouldn't be able to sleep if I can't (it's a hard job being house queen, but someone's got to do it).
I did this piece last night, with every intention of writing dark, deep thoughts (or stupid, boring ones--it really doesn't matter) on it, and then I decided that I liked it just as it was. Simple. It made me smile. So, maybe later I will write deep, stupid dark thoughts, but for now--it's finished. I also "matted" it in Photoshop to see what it would look like. I think I will take it today, and have it really matted, so that I can hang it.
WHY DIDN'T YOU ALL REMIND ME??? I HAVEN'T PUT UP A FREEBIE IN LIKE 3 DAYS. SO, I WILL DO THAT THIS MORNING.Sometimes you need to remind me. I get lost in brainlessland sometimes, and become very forgetful. Today--there are 3 New Freebies up. I hope you enjoy!

You must have a lot of energy. I am posting your link on my blog in hopes that I will be the winner. I love your journal pages. They inspire me.
Ooohh, how fantastic, nothing like the chance to win a piece of your artwork to get people out of the woodwork :) I would LOVE a chance to win. You have been on my blogroll for some time now ;) It's always enriching and delightful to visit your blog!!! TFS
I'm cracking up over here! I can just see you waking up your husband to entertain you! Well, we've never met of course, I see my imaginary you waking up your equally imaginary husband. Is this sounding a little...crazy? It's probably because I haven't been getting my customary, sanity-restoring computer computer strolling in. I miss chatting - so to speak - with you, sister! Hope you're doing well!
xoxo
