drama drama drama

My daughter is finally home from far far away and she is very differant. I miss my best friend, I hope she emerges from the total stranger that is here now. We were both very disappointed to find we did not just fall back into our routine. It is a huge shock to both of us. And in the meantime I am working on 7 projects at once. WHAT WAS I THINKING!! People seem to be arguing in all my groups and people keep asking me what my name is short for. I know there is alot going on in the world but I joined the groups to meet new and interesting people and share information our work and our experiences. well it is all blowing up and i am definitely going to leave a few groups soon. I have a few obligations to fill and I am going to keep the fun ones and ditch the dramaramas. no time in my life for OPP. Okay I have no idea what order the pics are going to come in so I'll explain in the last blog which i guess will be the first one you read. I don't know. Uh Okay these pics are of the "autumn fairy" paperdoll i made for a swap and the leaves i made that didn't get done in time for a page swap, note i used a few for the fairies wings. and Gypsy doing what Gypsy does when she wants me to stop working and play. Please have a wonderful and fun weekend. Love La

pics are of atc's i received, gifts i received from Belinda of alteredbelly.blogspot for joining a necklace swap. oh and don't ask, my son in law is dressed as a french chef for a poster we're making for my daughter.

drama, drama, drama

i often feel that if i remain perfectly still the drama will just pass me by. if only that were true.

the past few weeks i have been drowning in drama. there was no hiding from it or escaping it. it just was, and i just was immersed in deep doo from sun up to sun down. drama was relentless. it's not completely over but it has eased a bit. so here are pics of things i've been working on. and the penguin atc swap came in. i am just going to post the pics, i am too worn out to talk much about what or why, it just is what it is. Much much love, if u see drama coming, please get out of the way. there's no need for both of us to be caught in it.

soul journaling

I ran across this while i was blog surfing and sarahwhitmire.blogspot is doing a day by day post of her soul journal. It is pretty cool and I would love to do this but i have a terrible time with the day to day thing. so once in a while i will post what i have done so far and leave it at that. I also will not be following rules or guidelines to the letter so i get what i get. can't be helped. here are pics of what i've done so far. I used an old calendar.

also the dragonfly swap cards arrived yesterday, aren't they cute?
