Slightly opposing pages this week, and not just because they’re right across from each other.
On the left, you could tell I was feeling whimsical. Glimmering stars, glittery stickers, flowing letters to create a page in honor of my favorite Gandhi quote.
These little stars are what I attribute the beginning of my hoarding of supplies to. I received them in the mail from a Swap-Bot swap in 2008. I decided that they were too beautiful to use, and kept them in their package until this week. Once I realized I could just save awesome things for later, I started doing it with everything. I’m way better about it now, and Get Messy has really helped with that problem, too, but using these stars was a big deal for me.
And on the right there’s a page about how I’m constantly connected. Since blogging is what I do, I’m no stranger to the internet. I have a giant phone with an S-pen, and check social media often when I’m not even at home “working”. Sometimes it sucks, but I love what I do. The words “I’m a slave to the wires” are from an older Jack’s Mannequin song.
And this image is from a very very old magazine I found at The Book Thing, Baltimore’s free book store.
I hope you’re having a great week!
