Creativity overload.

As I mentioned before, I learned how to do codex binding and made 8 books in 3 days 2 weeks ago. Then I got sick of them (and sick from the glue) and put them aside for a while. So I worked on my Ratatouille stamp and finished that (although I messed up the letters and am mighty upset about it) so I need to go back and make a logbook for it to send it out. I also have to make a logbook for a stamp Katee is carving to plant in Ithaca (she's leaving the logbook making to me). Ok, so that makes 2 logbooks to make and a stamp to send out.

Then I started on my first LTC. Why I started in the midst of everything else I need to do, who knows. But it's addicting. Seriously, anything that involves paper crafts of any kind and I'm all over it. The issue is that I want to make 20 of the same design and my card involves a hand made diecut that I need to trace, cut out and glue onto all 2o cards, PLUS 20 rhinestones on each card that need to be individually glued on PLUS the stamps that need to be stamped, cut out and glued on. But whatever, I can do it. It's not perfect, which is something I'm battling with, but it's pretty decent for my first time. Ok, so I have 20 cards to finish by the end of this weekend to (hopefully) mail out by Monday.

So if that wasn't bad enough, I joined 2 LTC swaps. The first one I freaked out about and got all excited for because it involved fairies (oooo, I'm a fairy junkie!) so I HAD to join that. The second one kinda fell into my lap because of a post I made on Atlasquest. Each one is 24 cards and one is due in June and the other in July. Yikes.

AND THEN I was trolling through craftster yesterday (craft crack, stay away from it!) and I saw this really awesome table a girl made out of beer bottle caps that she covered completely in resin. Really cool but stupid me sends a link of it to Brent at work and he gets all hot and bothered about it so somehow now I'm making a new coffee table for his apartment in his garage logo. Oy.

IN ADDITION TO ALL THAT, I still need to carve a lot more stamps to start planting now that spring is coming. Brent mentioned going up to the Adirondacks in June to stay for a weekend so I can finally get him up Blue Mountain and I want to carve a super awesome stamp to plant there. Actually, maybe a couple. And I need to get cracking on my waterfall series because that IS getting planted all summer long.

Oh yeah, and I want to paint my hallway so I can put up the supersweet Hello Kitty sign Katee's husband got me from his work.

How do I get into all this? And right at the beginning of hiking season, my favorite time to go? I don't know but I WILL do it all. Well, I'll at least attempt it.

Back to gluing on rhinestones like a mad woman...
