This morning…

I'm happy in that i'm really getting back into my creative tendencies. For a long time, i didn't feel like doing anything. I know myself enough to know that this is my last ditch effort to feel more again. I'm hoping this will open up my senses again and recapture the beauty that is life. I really dont want to be apathetic anymore and i know I have control over it. Seriously, there is so much to be happy about and i plan to focus on that a lot more.

Later today…

I should never EVER go to Jo-annes fabrics again! But i will! I was like a kid in a candy store or a man in a sex shop. I could not leave, my back was killing me but i wouldnt budge…too many goodies, WANT. I got acrylic paint, just black to paint frames and white paint for a design on the frame, if it'll fit. I'm into decorating picture frames. OH oh! and im excited to bring out the easel my brother bought me, the last thing i recieved from him after he passed. His ex fiance told me he was going to give it to me for x-mas…it was teh most thoughtful present he has ever given me, i mean EVER. I got it a little over a yr ago and only got as far as setting it up before i just started balling, i couldnt handle painting on it at that point. It would just sit there collecting dust, but i'm determined to use it soon.

I almost got one of those little still life people to pose for drawing, but again, not in my budget, i got some paintbrushes, umm, artsy crafty appliques for pic frames, oh, the clearance sections make me go nuts. I bought some really pretty paper for writing that came with matching envelopes , 50 cents each and two packs, a buck! One is fuchsia, and one is a light violet.

I have this origami set i got 2 xmas's ago that i never used and when i was in the store i saw this GORGEOUS paper and i do mean gorgeous with diff schemes, one is a "once upon a time" scheme , very whimsical, and sooo many beautiful fall colors. It was 20 bucks for a booklet so i didn't get it. That's just insane when you are on a budget. I plan on going back though and when i get it , i want to create origami withit instead of this tacky bright red and yellow paper set. Theyre going to be hanging everywhere i tell you 😛

And thus concludes my artistic venture for today.
