I'm BACK!!!

....After several days of RAIN and lots of extra rest, I was missing my crafts so much that I decided I did NOT want to stay away any longer.  I thought I needed a long break, but I don't - I simply need a little down time to catch up and make it fun again and that's what I plan to do.  I will be cutting back on trying to keep up with so many challenges and instead simply focus on the ones I really love.  I also want to continue to keep up with my classes and spend a lot of time this weekend doing that and I feel refreshed and am looking forward to making some cards today.

   I colored for two days and really enjoyed catching up on my  Copic Classes.  If you love using Copics and would like to take Classes to learn all kinds of great tips and hints, then I highly recommend the classes taught by Suzanne Dean, in her Color Me-Creative Classroom.  She is currently offering a SALE too,  and if you sign up now you can save some money.  Click Here and look for the SUMMER FUN Special, which has all the details. 

   After spending the last two days practicing and working along with her wonderful videos I feel like I am back on track and have my MOJO back and I'm ready to create!!  Woohoo!

   I do think I needed some rest and was feeling a bit burnt out, I realized how MUCH I love my crafts, and I am simply needed to take a little time to slow day and ENJOY it more.

    I am very excited and looking forward to the big FUN IN THE SUN Crop Party over at Simply Scrapping Crafts (SSC) on Saturday the 19th!!  I had a blast with the NSD Event and know this will be really fun too!  If you want to join in, please go HERE and sign up in the Fun in the Sun Group! 

  I'm off now to start working on some cards, but did want to share a few of the images I colored this weekend.  It was wonderful to relax and I feel so much better!!  Yaay!!

  I actually colored about ten more images and it was really very relaxing and really made me feel better!  You'll eventually see more of them, as I use them for cards!

  Oh, and one more thing before I forget (darn Fibro Fog)!  My friend Colleen and the store she designs for Bella Digi Design Studio, is hosting a Blog Hop today along with a new challenge and lots of great prizes.  If you want to join in, please go HERE to start and be sure to check out Colleen's fabulous card, which is on her blog - Here!!

    Have a wonderful day and as always -- HAPPY CRAFTING!!
