It’s FINALLY Friday.
Posted by Michelle on January 30th, 2009 . Filed under: Uncategorized .Friday – and not a moment too soon. My week was ruined from 7:08am Monday morning and all through last night it was still bad. A dear friend hates me. Work has sucked. The kids have been driving me crazy. The house is a wreck – and we still have a Christmas flag up and the pinata from the kids’ Christmas party hanging on the tree next to the house – LOL I couldn’t get the lighting right in that overpriced-don’t-think-I-need-it-anyway photobox last night. I’m getting all this chocolate mailed to me from a chocolate swap that I am in – I am getting soooo tempted to stray with the gamut of emotions this week; but so far, so good.
Made a couple of cards last night – nothing terribly inspiring. I should have just taken the night off from cards and maybe come back with decent ones tonight, but my body wouldn’t let me – I’ve got a routine now that cannot be detracted from.
This first card is NOT a keeper. My NOT a keeper cards go into a pile that I give to my mother 😉 She’ll use them on her fat club and church biddies and I won’t care who gets them or what they think; ignorance is bliss. I made this for Jen del Muro’s SFYTT this week. Not sure where I went wrong – maybe from the beginning? LOL – but I don’t care for this puppy at all. I do love the saying however: Life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass; it’s about learning to dance in the rain. LOVE THAT!
Now this card on the other hand I do like. It’s much like one that I’ve made before, but just to keep creating and turn something decent out, it’s not a bad thing to go back and repeat a card that you liked before (at least I don’t think so). This isn’t at the top of the heap, but it’s a keeper.

TGIF! The nice thing is that you get to start fresh on Monday. Enjoy the weekend, but don’t force yourself to be creative.
BTW – I need me some chocolate! ; )
That’s some of the best swappin’, besides saliva!
P.S. I’m still 12.

I hope your weekend gets brighter, Michelle : ) I also LOVE the sentiment on your first card, and the second one is so pretty! Mojo definitely comes and goes. Sometimes you just need to take a break!
