Howdy...so wasn't Kari's Artful Blogger party just a hoot!? It was SO much fun and what a great turn out!
I'm still trying to get out everyone's blogs to check out their tutorials! Thank you thank you so much for leaving such sweet, encouraging, and thoughtful comments on my blog. Your words are absolutely magical to me and are so motivating! Thank you again for your generous kindness, sweet friends!
In addition to all the activity and excitement generated from Kari's party, I saw that my blog was also getting some visitors from a site call Scrapscene.com. I made a post (here) from the Studio Friday topic "containers/storage" and it was linked to their site! This totally rocks!!! You can check it out here. To say that I am flattered would be an understatement! I am just over the moon happy to be listed on THIS Website!! Thank you thank you and welcome to all those who are visiting from Scrapscene! :-)
So I'm posting my Studio Friday on Thursday. Not because I was a day late last week and am trying to balance out the Universe (he he he), but because tomorrow morning at 7:00 am this girl is hittin' the road! I am having a "Girl Weekend." :-) I am driving down to Ashland to go to Anahata Katkin's Symbolic Icons class on Saturday and Sunday. Can I get a Whoo-Hoo? I am totally excited about this and I am so excited to meet new people, including Anahata!
So let's get on with this week's Studio Friday, shall we? The topic: ONE PAGE!
Let us have a look at one page from your sketchbook or notebook...just curious. It's up to you which one you would like to reveal. Should you want to you can show us more than just one, too.
For this topic I thought I'd share with you a page from my Things To Do (TTD) notebook.
I have a Filofax that I keep my work, house, appointment, etc. schedule in but I never found it comfortable to use that as my TTD list. I think it's because I love writing so much and I like to have lots of room to write and doodle. I like to have fun and this works for me because it's very flexible. Keeping my TTD list in a journal works for me because otherwise, I have tablets, notebooks, or random journals with just a thing or two written here and there. Very untidy and that all over the yard feeling. I love to be organized and I love to feel organzied and so I am a major list maker. I make lists of lists to make. (I seriously kid you not!) I like to keep my lists this way because even with all the mishmoshed pages, I find it aesthetically pleasing. It's like comfort food for my brain. :-)
Okay, I'll be away for a few days. I'll miss you while I'm gone but when I return, I'm share pictures of Ashland and Anahata's class with you.
Take care, my sweety pies, and have a great weekend!
Yes, I totally saw your name and I had to look twice to make sure it was you and then when I clicked on the link, it is you!!! I subscribe to scrapscene and was just happened to be reading it and saw your name, we have a celebrity!!!! Yay, Love it! I also love your journal! Have a great time!

A Girls Weekend? How lovely is that on a scale?! I'm looking for a job and can't travel or do anythning like that right now Can't wait to see your photos.
And the TTD-book sounds great, I need one! I do write lists all the time, one even in my post today!

Yes a big WHOO-HOO for you on all counts.
Your TTD book is fab. Can't wait to see what you do in the weekend workshop. I'm day dreaming about being there.

How exciting to be going to Anahata's workshop! I'm jealous. I also like how colorful your notes are. Hope you have a great time this weekend!

I LOVE your TTD book Shell....it is so you, so colorful, so organized, so easy on the eyes, and downright pretty! I have a TTD book too, however mine is more like chickenscratch with a little non-legible shorthand thrown in, and usually there is diet Coke ring on every other page. Plus......I also make lists to remind myself of lists to make. Are we related, or what??
Hope you have a great girlie weekend, I love you and look forward to your pictures from the weekend.

great ideas for keeping lists!

Wish I knew about your trip to Ashland sooner, I'd have pressured you to stop by on your way home!! Cool TTD journal---I should learn from you and do the same---I'm one of those that tears pieces off envelopes, grabs a post-it, a strip of junk mail, magazine hang-tag or anything nearby for my to-do list... then lose them almost immediately, only to find it days later stuffed into a pocket... Have a great weekend!
