Okay, I think I have now completely screwed up so many things, i don't even know what to say, every time I try to say something, i just sound rediculous. For instance - I've sent swaps out the weren't completed. What the hell? That's not me. I'm behind on a few swaps because I just can't seem to get inspired. I keep joining new ones because I can't resist and I keep thinking - my muse will come back...and hopefully it will bring my brain back with it!!
I don't know what the real deal is with me these days...i think it's the migranes. They're horrible. I went to the eye doctor, she said bifocals...bifocals at 25 (in may)...rough. So I got bifocals, I had them a week...getting kind of used to them, but not really. I can't consentrate on my swaps to long because it hurts my eyes, which hurts my head...which makes me want to cry because doing the swaps is my own personal therapy (can't afford a real one, that would take up my art money).
I do have an appointment with the opthmologist - eye surgeon, because my eye doctors thinks there is some serious issues with my eyes - high pressure...blah...blah...blah...migranes....my eyes ache... I hate the eye doctors, I hate what they put you through....I can't even put drops in my eyes...hey, some people hate needles...i hate eye doctors. Ben is going with me to hold my hand...i love him.
Last weekend, I couldn't find my car charger, I had someone trying to hook up with me for some fun stamping or just hangin out time, had to rely on emails and hoped she got them so she wasn't thinkin i was ignoring her. Found my cell phone charger after the weekend, in the same place i always put it so I don't loose it. !!?&*?!!
I don't get it. I want my normal brain and my normal patterns back. Damn it!!
I'm staying home this weekend to get my swap life back in order, i have a beatles altered book, some cds to alter and some cards to make...they will get done...and they will be fabulous!

I'm Back!!
Hi everyone, miss me? A lot has happened since December. I've moved into a bigger and better apartment, with a hallway, and a bedroom and a bathtub!! Oh and closets - 3 HUGE closets!! One with a built in shoe rack - very cool.
I've also been working 12 hour days - TAX SEASON. Not to bad, this was my first and it's going pretty good. Lot's of clients, lots of hours = lots of art spending money for me!! Tax season is starting to slow down now, which is good. It's nice to come home and the sun is still out, even if it is ready for bed.
I've still made time for my art. Although I'm getting a little upset about some of them. I'm in a cd swap that is really not the level I was expecting. Luckily, I'm in another one which the work is a lot better. That's the thing though about swaps, you don't know what you're going to get!! Unless of course you know the reputation of the group...I didn't!! :O)
The Round Robins are going the same way, one group I find the art work to be fantastic, the players are timely, communitive and nice to talk to! The other group, I haven't seen a book in 3 months. And apparently we have someone hording 3 books for whatever reason... and has had one book since the end of last year. Stuff like this is very difficult to deal with, and it makes Round Robins so incredible hard for the lot of us who are honest and are willing to partake.
I've also been involved in some awesome chunky books. The themes were: Angels Amoung Us and White. The White was challenging, but I'm very happy with what my end result was. I'll upload them soon. I'm just joing a chunky book called - Ya Ya's!! I'm so excited about that one, my Ya Ya name is Queen Giggle Box!! I just see a ton of fibers and beads hanging off these pages. Another very cool project I was asked to join is an altered wine journal. More to come on that.
Happy Altering!! Copper
