All Work, No Create

Yep, that pretty much sums it up.  Another month and broken promises to myself and to others.  Not much crafting going on, Mostly work and running around like a crazy chicken.  I'm sure its a fabulous visual.  I still haven't finished my Creative Chemistry tags.  I still haven't finished my Soul Restoration class.  I hope to start Brave Mothers, Brave Daughters with my daughter, but I think it's a bad idea with all these other projects started and not completed, so the stack of supplies are sitting here.



My previous post(s) subjects were about my obsessions, so maybe I'll continue on with that theme a little longer.  I do like to have my scrap room and supplies organized and ready to go, so to that same end, my supply tote....


It's a lovely "little" box I picked up at an antique shop last year.  it was a tool box in a previous life I believe.  I've started decorating it, but stalled (another unfinished project - but I'm calling that a work in progress).  The inside has this canvas insert with pockets and the flap folds down to expose the rest of the tool box, perfect place for all my distress inks.



Off the side I hang a set of small tags of all the distress ink showing the variations (muted, crumped with direct to paper), distress embossing powder, distress paint and distress stickles, if I have that color in my collection.  Yes I know I'm a little twisted.  It's how I work.  You'll thank me later for the idea ;)   Could be considered overkill. I like to call it prepared. Maybe I took Girl Scouts a little too seriously.
