I know it is crazy, but I am a Monday person. I get more done on Monday than several other days put together. I also love the first day of the month. I flip the calendar over and there are so many possibilities. Ahhh. To have the first of the month on a Monday? Heaven.
On top of all this goodness, today is the first day I can SEE. I had Lasik on Saturday on both eyes and it went well. I was on restricted computer/reading/eye straining activities for the past week. The first few days were because I needed to wear glasses instead of my contacts before surgery and they were a really old prescription. I could not see much of anything.
Of course, when you are told you cannot do something, you want to do it more. I was not allowed on the computer, yet a fabulous idea for a new digi kit hit me. I could not do close up work, so I desperately wanted to play with my copics. I could not read, so my favorite author's latest book hit the shelves right next to the pharmacy window where I waited for my eye drops.
See the pattern?
Today I jumped out of bed and hit my chores at full speed. By lunchtime, I was able to sit down and read the March Issue of Scrapstreet.com Magazine:
Feeling inspired, I stopped by 2S4U to see the sketch of the week. Kazan's sketch 47 sparked a fun card idea.
I had some darling instyle digi stamps that I won a couple of months back. I used cute Bendy in her bumble bee costume and my beloved copics.
One more blog stop led me over to Couture Cardstock. Have you stopped by there yet? I am obsessed with them now. ScrapStreet will be featuring their fabulous papers in an upcoming issue and we are having a blast with them. They are simply luscious! Today was my first try coloring on Couture Blending Paper and it is copic fabulous! They are hosting a Month Long Party! Today's challenge is to use yellow. Perfect!
