WOYWW- As In WowWee...I Get To Do Anything I Want!!!

FYI - it's probably easiest to read my blog by a)reading between the pix first or b)reading picture captions first...and then going back to the other. Elseways, it doesn't make as much sense...unless your brain is far more developed than mine. :) (Yes elseways is a word. I just found it at thesaurus.com because I didn't want to use otherwise right after the other in the previous sentence). Uh-huh. Mh-hu. (You hear that)?!?

Isn't it a wonderful feeling when you get to do anything you want?!? 

I LOVE my life and the fact that...today...

and many other days, 

I can do just that!!! 

Anything I want.

It's been a busy month for everyone and I can't wait to get to all of your websites to see what you've been up to. 

For those of you that aren't familiar with it...today is Wednesday, so I'm linking up with What's On Your Workdesk Wednesday. (WOYWW) 

I always love the inspiration I get there!

I've been working on finishing up some projects that I'd hoped to do before Christmas...

The finished piece which I then cut down to size for the journal cover made below.

but I'm thrilled to be getting them done now.

Journal Cover - front (just need to work on the edges)

It's become a valuable, enjoyable part of my life...

Journal Cover - back

which I look forward to...

Journal Cover - open (Yep - I definitely need to work on those edges).

to finish up UFOs once all the Holiday Season fun things are done. I just work on them until...I get tired of it. No rules or pressure.

While I was in the piecing mood...I put this together last night. It'll soon be a bohemiannie! bag. :)

In case you didn't know, UFOs are Unfinished Objects...

These are Sophia's (my 4 year old granddaughter) UFOs - which I'll help her finish up this week.

kind of like the WIPs - Works In Progress - 

I've included this picture because as I look for 'things' to add to my art journal, I'm sorting and organizing my MESSY paper drawers. What you see here is only about 1/5 of my paper supplies...and I'm a FABRIC artist!!!

which is a new acronym that I've learned this year due to blogging.

I found this stencil in one of the drawers (above) and of course...had to use it in my art journal. (That's more of my paper supply behind the table).

No matter whatcha call it though.

You can see - on this UFO - where I used the stencil.

If feels GReat to get things finished.

I DON'T know how you girls do it!!! I struggle with paper projects - but I'm determined.

To clear out the old - 

When Sophia was able to sit up by herself, I'd give her a container of scraps to play with while I sewed. These are all from her "stash" (absconded from annie! grandma) and she brought them to me a couple weeks ago and asked that I make a doll blanket out of them. So...of course...I did!

to make room for the new.

This is a collaborative art book sent to me from a friend on Flickr which ANYONE THAT WANTS TO CAN ADD TO - HINT HINT and I said I would. As I mentioned, I'm challenged when it comes to paper art...and this has a long way to go before I finish...(or I'll have to tear the pages out of the book).

Which I'm gonna go work on RIGHT NOW!

Dare I show you the detail shot?!?

Happy Week After Christmas to YOU!!!

And speaking of shots...that gun ONLY shoots love. Love shot baby! To YOU!

Create Your Life,

After all the parties (they know how to party here in Barranquilla) (all night - and boisterously - in a fabulous way) and opening presents and eating anything she wanted...she couldn't stay awake another minute.

annie!

This was taken at 6:30pm-ish...(that's a Christmas miracle from this late-nighter) and carrying her up to bed was pure heaven in more ways than one! :)

PS - I'm also linking to one of MY favorite groups...Artists In Blogland Show and Tell Saturday #16...because the wascly wabbit pictured above is here for the day and I don't have time to blog. Whoops! Here she comes now! Gotta run!!!
