I have to say, I wish that Connor's school would have teacher training days more often :)
I've had a lovely day off work, chilling with Connor and making tons of stuff.
Including
- the CJ entry I blogged earlier
- three ATCs (pic of one above, they're all the same) for a swap on UKStampers (theme "In The Woods")
- A "wish you weren't leaving but good luck anyway" card for my boss (forgot to take a pic of that)
- A background page in my art journal:
And I'm still at it, I'm partway through cutting a stencil which will be used at some point over that background.
I do love being productive! The only problem is that once I'm on a "making stuff" roll, I find it hard to stop. I have to get up for work in the morning, mind, so I need to make sure I drag myself away from the art supplies and up to bed by midnight....
If anyone spots me still up at 12:01, tell me off!
**edited to add - ok, so now it's just after half past midnight....slapped wrists.....but I promise I'm off to bed now....I just had to share my accidental "self portrait in glitter":
Bling bling!!!! :D
No idea what I'm going to do with it, it's just on a scrap piece of paper....but you see I finished cutting the stencil, and then sprayed it on the back with repo adhesive, so it will be dry tomorrow when I want to use it in my journal...
But of course the glue went through the holes in the stencil and left a gluey version of me on the scrap paper.
Well, I couldn't waste it, could I, so I dumped a pot of glitter over it lol
I like it! I'm all sparkly! :)
I really am off to bed now, or I'll never get up for work in the morning - night night.
Lovely creations Flo !!
