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!
I love how this group is helping you. I know it’s doing the same for me. I am realizing I can use things in my book and it saves it much better then in the package. Haha.
I also love your salve to wire one. It’s so neat and very true about society.
Yeah it’s unfortunately very true. :/ And yes it’s helping me and I’m so glad it’s helping you, too!
I love these! That Ghandi quote is one of my faves, and the old magazine photos are aweome.
Haha, no worries. Your second comment made me laugh out loud, though. It’s such a good quote, I’m glad you enjoy it, too.
“Gandhi”, obviously.

Slave to the wires…you talkin’ ’bout me? Cause it sounds like you are. It’s a fun expression.
Girl, you know it!!
