is it spring yet?

i hope everyone had a fantabulous easter weekend!

creepy bunny and carrot cookies

the weather was good today despite the rain. i'm tired of the cold now and i'm ready for spring! i finally baked the cookies i want to send to my usual group for easter, so actually today was not a good day for the weather to warm up because i was hot in the kitchen all day! just my luck, huh?  i'm really glad i never wanted to be a pastry chef. maybe i don't have the patience. but oh well, i still have lots of fun making them. the cookies in the picture are the best ones out of the group, tee hee. by the looks of them, you wouldn't think i actually know how to draw. besides lack of patience, maybe i'm a little lazy too ^_^

a little sunday fun

i really enjoy making these name tags for gifts. 

it's funny how i can look at those cards and see all of my mistakes and imperfections. i'm always complaining that i'm not creative enough. i just need to practice. i have so many books on being creative (and no, i haven't finished any of them yet). i finally realized that it's not that i'm not creative, i don't practice! i give up and i don't allow myself to make mistakes.

i need to correct my vision. there was a time where i did art full time and i was able to see differently. i was always seeing spatial relationships, colors, tonal values, negative space, etc. i don't know when i lost it but i really want to find it again. i miss it. i think it came before because i was always drawing, i was engaged and passionate about it so i guess it was natural. it's like riding a bike, right? :)

stampin' up again

i went to another technique class given by my stampin' up diva friend lisa. http://stampingwithlisa.com/
it was suppose to be a one hour class but before i knew it, 1 1/2 hours flew by. don't you just love how you lose track of time when your brain goes into right sided mode? i know i do. she let me make my cover page for the book too. i tried to show off my lettering skills :) i still need more practice! i'm just excited she had a hummingbird stamp, i love hummingbirds! i've written my list of cards to make. i'm a little behind with my thank you's and i have a wedding and baby shower coming up soon. so i better get busy!
