Very Tired today didn't get much Sleep last night. STill exciting to be planning my staycation for next week. I'm going to do a spa day, long bikerides, beach day, and art camps at home. I am making my own summer camp. Our son has football and baseball and so we really can't go any where but thankfully he finally is driving this year so I won't spend my vacation sitting in the HighSchool parking lot waiting for him. Going to read Cliare Cooks Wildwater Walking Club, knit and really enjoy my summer camp staycation. Finding some great stuff on Twitter and having fun with Polka Dot Days journal. Polka Dots are like my Happy Pills! Three days until staycation starts!

Hello Kitties! Picking up the blog again for a place to play and post. I've been doing alot of micro blogging and following alot of interesting art journalists on twitter. I finished my last art journal in January and have been extremely busy lately and got away from creating. I recently had to scrap, and crop and photoshop a huge poster for my son's HS graduation and nothing like 20 hours of using the supplies in my basement studio to get the old creative juices going again. I'm so ready to get back at it! A few weeks back I started making papers for a new journal so tonight I just got after it. I've been inspired by polka dots all spring. I'm headed toward a staycation next week so I figured I would create a 14 day art retreat. I'm going to blog and create every day for 14 days. I am so inspired by all the great company I have here that the ideas are popping out of my head. I can't wait to get going. I'll post some pics of the new journal in the days to come. But for now off to bed. I still have four crazy grueling days of work left before I can really let loose and enjoy 9 days off in a row. whoot whoot oh yea!
