As this year is coming to an end, it's really fun to look back on these pages and see what life was like at the end of last winter. There are some things that are the same, and some that have really changed.<br />
<br />
The other thing that is nice about this is I am getting some layout ideas from some of the photos I've sampled here. There are plenty of stories to tell, and this book is really helping me with the details. So fun!Christina C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07078169783385975218noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5581923064593385632.post-1324166715151739152012-11-25T23:43:00.000-08:002012-11-25T23:43:00.900-08:00My secret life... project life<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Okay, it's time. Time to share my secret on this blog.<br />
For most of 2012 all of my scrappy energy has been devoted to a project life album. But I was keeping it secret, special just for me.<br />
<br />
But it's time to bring the album off the shelf, and onto the blog.<br />
<br />
My approach is not traditional, but it's working for me. Basically, it's a highlights clip from each month in the year. And I love it to pieces.<br />
<br />
For 2012, I'm using this Amy Tangerine album. Next year, I'm thinking to use another Amy Tangerine (brown chevrons) or Dear Lizzy (blue chevron). I've decided all my other scrapbooks will be plain black cloth, except the PL ones. That's one way to keep it fun. :)<br />
<br />
So when you open the album, I want to do an 8.5x11 layout (double sided) that will have a 2012 highlights in it. And then that second page, I may or may not do something with.<br />
<br />

Yup, three "pages" and I'm done for the month. And I'm good with that.<br />
<br />
Some months have quite a bit more pages. And some have layouts and other goodies too.<br />
<br />
I've got the album completely done through May, and all the photos in through the first part of November.<br />
<br />
I've got more photos to share, but I'll share them over the rest of the week. Fun!<br />

I've been working out of the same <a href="http://coffee-girl-crafts.blogspot.com/search/label/journal%20your%20christmas" target="_blank">Journal Your Christmas </a>album for the last three years now. I really enjoy it, and it's going to be super fancy when it is done.</div>

But, inspired by this most recent round of <a href="http://www.shimelle.com/classes/586/learn-something-new-every-day/" target="_blank">Learn Something New Every Day</a> class, and also the fact that I'm doing Project Life AND a separate holiday mini, I decided something a little bit more for play was in order.<br />

I rummaged around through some scraps of other projects, grabbed my cinch and made up a little 4x6 junque book. It's pretty adorable. And I feel absolutely no pressure about making it be pretty or perfect. This is where I am going to get down and dirty with my holiday crafting. If I want to test out a stamp, splooch out some random paint, put in a blurry print, whatever. It will be all good.</div>

I have only ever once before attempted to make <a href="http://coffee-girl-crafts.blogspot.com/2010/11/december-daily-2010.html" target="_blank">a december daily album.</a> And though it's not finished, I'm not going to let that stop me from playing with NEW pretty paper for 2012.<br />
<br />
Especially once I saw that lovely SC Handbook album. Oh yes.<br />
It's the two inch binding rings that really sold me. I was going to do something smaller, but with the base of an old book and all patterned paper pages, and then I was going to bind it with my Cinch, but this seemed a bit easier. Plug and play, if you will.<br />
<br />
Here's the plan.<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>We start with the SC 6x8(ish) album. </li>
<li>Each day (plus a few for intro & closure) gets a two page spread, separated by a page protector (I miss you Hambly transparencies!)</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>The design will be based off of a variation on a 6x8 grid, with two 4x6 areas as the main base. </li>
<li>I plan to print only 4x6 photos.Though I may print smaller, if needed, using my usual photoshop tiny templates. </li>
<li>To that end, I've chopped up a variety of cute holiday papers, vellum, handmade specialty papers and some of my few remaining sheets of hambly. I've started out by cutting one 4x12 in strip from every paper. This will leave me with a few sheets to do a 6x8 full pattern later, if I so choose.</li>

<ul>
<li>Each page consists of a piece of blank white smooth textured cardstock that measures 7.5 w x 9 h. There is a box printed on front and back of each page. That box is 6 x 8.</li>
<li>I can't quite bring myself to commit to putting down all the patterns and pages all at once now, but I've got all the pages and page protectors in, and as the papers are mostly already sliced up, it should be a simple matter of glue paper, glue photo, stick some journaling and stickers on there, and get it done.</li>

The holiday season has officially kicked off at work (aka Starbucks). I love the red cups and tasty beverages of this time of year. Gingerbread lattes are my favorite.</div>

Since the decorations went up in the stores, I decided to put my starbucks christmas ornament tree up as well. It lives in my cube. I was especially excited by the gold cup this year.<br />

This is the wreath I picked up at an "extras" sale a few years back. That year was one of my favorites. Before I picked up an official wreath,<a href="http://coffee-girl-crafts.blogspot.com/2008/12/december-21-part-one-yarn-ball.html" target="_blank"> I tried to make my own</a>. The store one is much better.<br />

Every November I look forward to going to CKC Seattle (a scrapbooking convention). I treat myself to a class or two, and do a little shopping in the luxury malls near the convention center. It's gotten a little less fancy over the years, as the industry has waned, but it's still good for a fun time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This year was no different. I made the rounds of the vendor fair, took a class, and tried out my new crop bag.</div>

I took a class from CK, since my favorite vendor Technique Tuesday was absent. It was nice. I also got a screaming deal on a subscription, so that was pretty cool.<br />

This is my new crop bag. I ripped the strap off of my old one. It's nice, and has a big center area for things to be stowed. Most importantly, it held all the stuff I bought at the vendor faire. ;)<br />

I went and checked out the nicely large Anthropologie store. They had their holiday decorations out. I took photos with their polar bears (but they didn't really turn out). I did pick up some handmade chevron paper for me, and an adorable walrus bottle opener as a humorous inside joke present for G.<br />

Having just finished a delicious dinner, we are waiting on trick or treaters and watching some movies.<br />
<br />
Our new neighborhood has tons of kids and Greg is thrilled to be on door duty. Between my goth closet and his parents' magic basement, he managed to pull together a truly terrifying Reaper costume at the last moment.<br />
<br />
Oh, those poor, poor children. At least they are getting bribed with candy to compensate for their trauma.<br />

Ever since I destroyed my beloved Canon Powershot S95 in Hawaii last March (took a tumble off a coral rock and landed barrel first), I've been pretty unhappy with the photographs I've taken. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Since we were on vacation when I killed my point and shoot, I picked up a cheapie little Canon at a Target, and it's been okay. Not great, but okay. About as good as an old cell phone. So I haven't been loving my photos. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Which means I haven't been taking photos. Well, that and all the drama this summer. And fall. Anyway...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I've been saving up for months to get a new camera. Something that is amazing, yet will fit in a purse. After being disappointed by the specs on the new stuff from Canon, and hearing the praises from my friend Steph, I decided to jump brands and get a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Sony-DSC-RX100-Sensor-Digital-Camera/dp/B00889ST2G/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351095177&sr=8-1&keywords=sony+cyber-shot+dsc-rx100" target="_blank">Sony</a>. Shocking, I know. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I finally brought home my new baby last night (thus the photo above). And I'm in love again. It's so easy to use, and I swear the OS is smarter than I am. It's a bit of a brick, and I'm not used to the grip or the OS, but the photos are turning out so good. The one above is straight from the camera, no PS, no tweaking. This is going to save me SO much time. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Time that I will now be able to use to scrap! Especially now that I have photos I'm excited about. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Now I just need to get the house cleaned up from our pre-Steamcon crafting furor so I can get photos for that house minibook I've been planning. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What are you excited about today?</div>

<br />
The days are getting darker, the nights colder. Every day we are leaving the warmth and bright days of summer behind just a little bit more.<br />
<br />
Note: This isn't going to be a particularly crafty post (though those will return hopefully soon). so I understand if you'd just like to skim on by.<br />
<br />
After the big changes and stress associated with our recent move and the mobility issues I had because of my injury, I was ready to greet the new season with open arms. September is my favorite month, after all.<br />
<br />
However, in the second week of September, just when I was starting to feel like I was getting my sanity, mojo, and life balance back, I had my feet knocked out from under me, emotionally speaking. My non-Greg family life is pretty complicated, and I've kept it pretty private here on the blog, but I wanted to share this story though, so here it is.<br />
<br />
I got the news that my father had been diagnosed with cancer, and given his medical history, the prognosis wasn't great. He got some really excellent care and treatment, and things were looking pretty hopeful. My sister and I made some loose plans to go down and visit him (we are both out of state) towards the end of October. All seemed pretty okay, considering. Stressful and worrisome, but okay, because we had a plan.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZYvsI9aMVkox5ZxgbA_itI6cY5Y6mNgQjfF_jVBspycLze7fNiQIaxDPo3w-GMbHtJ8J_ZFlWbtuC63SJEjyjfuYUhS0D2xwpM1YTPVBtWfgNhVYQy8Sy45ynFHQAq_W_WCT0FZ3ZSm1p/s1600/IMG_1934.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZYvsI9aMVkox5ZxgbA_itI6cY5Y6mNgQjfF_jVBspycLze7fNiQIaxDPo3w-GMbHtJ8J_ZFlWbtuC63SJEjyjfuYUhS0D2xwpM1YTPVBtWfgNhVYQy8Sy45ynFHQAq_W_WCT0FZ3ZSm1p/s400/IMG_1934.JPG" width="500" /></a></div>
<br />
And then a few days later I went into work and checked my email. My sister had sent me an email marked only "call me right now." I did, and got the news that our father had unexpectedly passed away in the night.<br />
<br />
I think, when you lose someone from your life, for whatever reason, it's important to really feel through the experience, and think about why you feel what you do. Sometimes it's a little grief, sometimes relief, sometimes regret. Losing a parent is in a whole 'nother league of emotional experience though. I don't even necessarily have the words to describe how I felt and what I experienced that day.To paraphrase pop culture, "when it happens [to you] you'll know."<br />
<br />
It changes you. It changes your whole world.<br />
<br />
Of course my sister drove out immediately, and I made arrangements to fly down. The next week was a complete blur of heartache, grief, happiness (of being with my sister and her family and my aunt and cousin), and I guess, mourning. There were a lot of things that happened, little stories that are too personal to blog about. But I will say that the thing that makes me the most sad is that it happened so suddenly, I never even got to say good-bye.<br />
<br />
The week my sister and I spent wrapping up the loose ends of my father's life is something I won't ever forget. Despite the emotional rollercoaster of mourning and dealing with the mundate trappings of closing out his estate, and all the challenges we went through, I am still grateful for the experience. I learned so much about the man my father was, and the woman my sister had become. I am still thankful, and sad.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKqoPen3hf9DX3yg3K2_72iVQhhQ6IjWXzEUprgC4H1Xp368fBZ1ZPk4Ap1A91Ec7Jcuj2Jw8GQkwXi_RXmXTTJi2CnfiT41DaN5G22fdetu1yvic-ftMke2xWbhzl-ZG6EvZhbt-zYOMQ/s1600/IMG_1873.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKqoPen3hf9DX3yg3K2_72iVQhhQ6IjWXzEUprgC4H1Xp368fBZ1ZPk4Ap1A91Ec7Jcuj2Jw8GQkwXi_RXmXTTJi2CnfiT41DaN5G22fdetu1yvic-ftMke2xWbhzl-ZG6EvZhbt-zYOMQ/s400/IMG_1873.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I have always, somewhat jokingly, claimed that scrapping, for me, was cheaper than therapy. I actually took some journaling supplies with me on my trip, for the nights when I was alone in my hotel room. I am grateful for the memories I captured while I was there. For the things we did to honor his memory.<br />
<br />
I found out my father kept some scrapbooks too. I get to be responsible for all his photos, and after I've gotten them all cleaned up, I'll be making a photo book of his life, for my sister, and his sister. My family.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
So, that's my very personal story. Thank you for reading through it. And to be utterly sappy, I just want to say the other advice I would give, from what I learned through all this is, make sure you hold your love ones close and cherish whatever time you have with them. Listen to their stories. Let them know you are grateful for them. Make sure they know who you are, and where you came from.<br />
<br />
Also, it would be really nice if you get all your paperwork together for the ones who will take care of your affairs when you are gone. It's a good gift to give them. And it's not creepy. Really. They will thank you for it. A lot.<br />
<br />
And me? I'm doing okay.<br />
<br />
I'm still going to tell my stories, and documenting life as I live it. Maybe in a different way, a different perspective. I've changed, and am still changing. But I still love making art. And photos. And iced coffee beverages. And I'm going to pick up the pieces and get myself back in the game.<br />
<br />
Seems the right time for it. According to my new desktop, I'm exactly where I need to be. ;)<br />
<br />
Thank you.<br />
<br />
All my love, until next time.<br />

<br />
Argh, where does the time go?<br />
<br />
Since my last post, the following have occurred:<br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I have moved house (after ten years!)</li>
<li>I have sprained my ankle (during the move)</li>
<li>I have visited with friends from Chattanooga and Spanaway</li>
<li>I have gone on vacation (cabin trip)</li>
<li>I have lost my camera charger (boo)</li>
</ul>
<div>
Life has been... chaotic, to say the least. Mostly focusing on real life stuff like packing, and unpacking, and trying to walk and doing physical therapy, and dealing with health and social obligations.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, working on getting rid of a ton of things. Listing stuff on the computer is harder than I thought it would be.
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So.. not a lot of actual creative things happening. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But I made this for LSNED:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, I am at this moment uploading a video tutorial I made and never posted! I'll try and get that updated soon.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And once I get my new camera (which I think might be the Sony DSC-RX100), things will really start to get updated up in here. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So.. a sort of rambling post, but wanted to check in. I miss this space, and can't wait for life to get back to normal. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Hope you all are well. And thanks for stopping by!</div>

Hello again. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Back today to share the first few "pages" from my field guide mini. These pages were inspired by weeks 1 & 2 in May Flaum's class. There was a lot of focus on spray ink and paint (Yum!).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If you missed the explanation about what the book base is, it's a Heidi Swapp Tattered Angels fascination folder. I think you can actually still find them online at Joann's. I like it because it's got a ton of pages backed into all those tiny gussets.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I have to say, having since seen the stuff she's been doing with her memory files, that I'm really enjoying the concept of the file folder (especially a mini one) as part of a memory keeping project. Also, it's because I love office supplies. ;)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The photos used in these pages are mostly extras, leftovers; stuff that's good to use in art journaling. It's been fun to just get in to the class and play. To make something for myself and not worry about how it looks. </div>

The best part about this particular art journal is that I get to keep it for myself, no sending it away to the Brooklyn Art Library. I'm excited to really get in here and make some good stuff.<br />
<br />
Happy Saturday!<br />

Hello.<br />
It's been a while since I've done a non-crafty post. Let's see, what have I been up to?<br />
<br />
Real life. Living without a camera in front of my face. It's hard to get back in the habit. I see why so many people have switched to shooting with smartphones these days. I've actually had some practice with that kind of photography lately though, as I managed to destroy (yet again) my primary point and shoot (RIP Canon S95). That's a story for another post though. ;)<br />
<br />
Working on many, many secret projects. Some of which I shall be able to flesh out in future blog posts. For example....<br />
<br />
I finished three photo books, which required a ton of computer time (scanning, editing, placing in the books, etc). Two were gift books, for Greg's mum and auntie. I also finished the Europe photo book - all 100 pages of it. I used Shutterfly and Blurb, respectively.<br />
<br />
I have been working a lot. Taking a lot of work-related classes and learning new skills. Working really really hard on my career.<br />
<br />
I went to Hawaii for a whole week in April, and crossed a few things off my bucket list. It was spectacular. And romantic too.<br />
<br />
Continuing to work on my relationship with the boy and with my health. Working on being present and working hard on the things that really matter. Trying to keep up with social events and writing letters to the ones I love. Exploring hula hooping as a fitness option (weird, but boy does it work your tummy muscles). Looking really hard for a new house for us to move into.<br />
<br />
Been doing a lot of cleaning. Transitioning seasons are good for that. As we've moved from Spring into almost-Summer conditions I've really worked on purging clothes and craft supplies and THINGS that I don't need or love anymore. Am going to be getting rid of a bunch of stamps too, so you know it's serious.<br />
<br />
I'm actually planning an online garage sale for the extras, probably by the end of this month. Because who else but people online would want unused Studio AE and Studio Calico stuff? Seriously.<br />
<br />
In terms of crafty-ness, after I finished my recent submission to the Sketchbook Project, I kept working in my new art journal/mini book, as started during the class I took from May Flaum (the Field Guide). I've actually got a bunch of those pages photographed, so they'll definitely be posted this week.<br />
<br />
I'm working on a friend's wedding invitations, save the dates and website. There's a lot which needs to be perfected and refined, in terms of design and execution. This is where having a crafty friend IRL really comes in handy, lol. Basically, she'll want for nothing, in terms of crafty help from me. ;)<br />
<br />
Still working on my 30 before 30 book. All the photos are finally done and I'm just fussing with the design. I've started a minibook for the Hawaii trip. I've actually finished a fully stocked mini for 2012 Week in the Life (which I'm doing in June, because I was in Hawaii when it was being done in April). <br />
<br />
In terms of classes and the etsy, I've got a bunch of stuff planned for Fall and the Holidays (because I'm trying to be THAT pro-active). I'm hoping to squeeze in a Summer or non-seasonal option in there too.<br />

Things I noticed when making these pages:<br />
- I rarely use rubons, even though I have quite a few hanging around<br />
- I tend to reach for my rubber stamps when doing random background stamping<br />
- Washi tape is so amazing.<br />
- OA spray ink acts much more like real paint than Mr. Huey spray ink<br />
- Paint dabbers and stains are great for quick messy color additions (and they dry fast)<br />
- A page is never complete unless it has words of some kind on it<br />
<br />
I'll have the rest up tomorrow. :)Christina C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07078169783385975218noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5581923064593385632.post-25938056517335200552012-04-29T23:09:00.000-07:002012-04-29T23:23:45.789-07:00Sketchbook Project 2012 - Limited Edition Project<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRA-LMaSRAEgQPa1FXE-uw-zD_7L7oK7u24rye7OuKSEt_L-F9_QEfCGe_bbgIrKc9i5lgWljZGNTknkOqEuexigUSLvMxHzYEArlqqjSAYzjCliQWLt_BYauOU5fOPQD1z9gd5HUXryGU/s1600/00+(4).JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRA-LMaSRAEgQPa1FXE-uw-zD_7L7oK7u24rye7OuKSEt_L-F9_QEfCGe_bbgIrKc9i5lgWljZGNTknkOqEuexigUSLvMxHzYEArlqqjSAYzjCliQWLt_BYauOU5fOPQD1z9gd5HUXryGU/s640/00+(4).JPG" width="640" /></a>Apparently, running away from the internet does not solve all of your life problems, but it does help out a bit, when things in your life go boom/poof/kaplowie. I apologize for the long silence on the blog, but I will say that it was unfortunately necessary. Sometimes events occur which are not necessarily compatible with blogging, creating, or memory keeping. I'm still trying to work out how and why and what I want to use this space for - I'm just going to go with the flow until I figure that out.<br />
<br />
I've been working on a few different things, some of which are even ready to share on the blog. I've already sent this particular project off to the Brooklyn Art Library.<br />
<br />
There are quite a few photos, including all the detail shots, so I also put together a video overview.<br />

As I was working on this book, partly based on my situation at the time, I really was trying to just play.I worked in layers. I used up scrap photos and scraps of magazines. I threw all notions of perfectionism out the window. It was tough. Some of the work here is in my opinion, ugly and crowded. But the point was to play and create, and not judge myself too badly. In that sense, this is one of the most real art journals I've done. And I've given it away, so that helped free up my creative impulses as well. Art journaling is such cheap therapy (though, not if you count the cost of my stamp "investments," lol).<br />
<br />
Back tomorrow with a few more pages.<br />

A few CKCs ago or so I took a few classes from Tattered Angels. One of the classes involved misting a bunch of things pink and orange (designed by Heidi Swapp, of course) to make a girly minibook. I didn't end up finishing the project (pink is not really my style) but the base of the album was really cool; a file folder mini (Tattered Angels <a href="http://www.hsn.com/crafts-sewing/tattered-angels-ir-resist-ibles-fastenation-folder-rockin-renaissance_p-6371647_xp.aspx" target="_blank">Fastenation Mini</a>).</div>

Fast forward to now; I recently signed up for May Flaum's new class: the curious scrapbooker's field guide, and found myself wanting to accomplish a few things.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

I wanted to make something today, as I didn't have to work or do taxes or a ton of laundry. And my desk was clean. Anyway, I wanted to use up a bunch of scrapbooking products (they call this "kit-killing" I believe). I wanted to have many of my results from the class stored in one place (projects and notes all together - something which has worked well for me when taking classes from others, particularly <a href="http://shimelle.com/" target="_blank">Shimelle</a>). And I wanted to re-purpose the very cool mini book I had laying unloved in my cupboard. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

On a recent Saturday outing, the boy and I ventured downtown for breakfast at Pike Place Market and a trip to see an Asian art exhibit at the Seattle Art Museum.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
We attempted to get tea and crumpets, but the line was around the block. Instead, we broke our fast with a half dozen piping hot mini cinnamon sugar doughnuts and some black coffees. We sat on stools at a little nook by the newsstand and read the paper together.</div>

Full of sugar and caffeine, we headed down to SAM and used our member passes to get in to see the exhibit: Luminous. We skipped the narrated tour and began to wander through the exhibits.</div>

There were some really lovely pieces from all over Asia and the Middle East, from various periods in history. The docents were hit and miss about photography; I wasn't able to get a ton of photos. Missing, for example, is a picture of an amazing embroidered coat worn by an emperor, an intricately embroidered prayer rug made from scraps of kimonos, and a jade bowl so translucent it looked like it was made of light. </div>

There was a fabulous exhibit which featured Buddha sculpture from different places around the East. There was a fantastic exhibit of a Kwan Yin statue which explained some of the science behind reconstruction and research being used to work with ancient pieces in a modern museum setting. </div>

There were several rooms filled with exquisite calligraphy and beautiful screens. There was a very cool interactive media piece by a contemporary artist. There were a few poems which I found very poignant.</div>

We had a great time. I felt super inspired by the textures of the pieces; the softness of the brushwork and the richness of the colors.<br />

I feel so lucky that I got to see these wonderful pieces in person.

Already a bit into it and still not quite where I want to be yet.<br />
<br />
I'm not doing project life. Or anything really big right now, actually. Okay, I'm maybe going to be working on finishing my OLW project from 2011, but right now I'm deep diving into cleaning, purging and organizing clothes, books, finances, craft supplies, and all my digital stuff. Still working on being mindful about the things I make and use and keep around and in my life.<br />
<br />
Time to start on the list making. That always helps. :)<br />
<br />
I always love reading about <a href="http://www.shimelle.com/category/10-things/">Shimelle's 10 things</a> posts. And <a href="http://scrapbooklady.typepad.com/katie_the_scrapbook_lady/roundups/">Katie's round up posts</a> are also quite good. So I shall try to keep up by sharing twelve things I like right around the twelfth of each month.<br />
<br />
That totally sounds achievable.<br />
<br />
<b>Number One: Kindle Touch</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSYqtxxjR0dbygZx9H9efmiN5DmYgnfIXLXdsVgOP_fHNkbKvZh" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn0.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSYqtxxjR0dbygZx9H9efmiN5DmYgnfIXLXdsVgOP_fHNkbKvZh" /></a></div>
I bought myself a <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Touch-e-Reader-Touch-Screen-Wi-Fi-Special-Offers/dp/B005890G8Y">Kindle Touch</a> (no ads, wifi only) for my birthday. It's kind of a bigger purchase, but I'm really happy about it for few reasons, some related to physical space, some related to convenience. I'm not going to completely give up on paper books (long live Powell's!), but this should help with managing my "trash" book collection. Craft books and books from my favorite series will probably still be purchased and retained in physical form. But the Seattle Library has an amazing collection of e-books available to borrow for free, so that helps.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Number Two: Organizing!</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://balzerdesigns.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c766153ef01539441ac69970b-450wi" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://balzerdesigns.typepad.com/.a/6a00d8341c766153ef01539441ac69970b-450wi" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Totally getting myself organized right now. Love <a href="http://balzerdesigns.typepad.com/balzer_designs/organization-week.html">Julie's Organization Week </a>series. So great to see so many FUNCTIONAL craft rooms. Mine is an absolute total disaster right now. I'm fighting not to turn into a hoarder, but also to keep things which are inspiring. It's tough.<br />
<br />
This webcast by <a href="http://thescraprack.easystorecreator.com/W_reg_Participants_get_organized_challenge_series.asp">the scraprack</a> is also pretty great.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT1LR79ccXL9M44Kaq2UO8GabgGp25uQ2lPt63_fHzo4ZdiRf7Eig" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcT1LR79ccXL9M44Kaq2UO8GabgGp25uQ2lPt63_fHzo4ZdiRf7Eig" /></a></div>
<br />
Also, don't laugh, but <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Organize-Now-Week-Week-Simplify/dp/1440308632">this was the second book</a> I bought to read on my Kindle. I'm not reading the chapters in order, but the checklists are actually pretty helpful. And they hold me accountable for action, which is always good.<br />
<br />
I also found <a href="http://www.craftypod.com/2012/01/11/how-healthy-is-your-online-information-diet/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+craftypod%2Fblog+%28CraftyPod+Blog%29">this post on craftypod</a> to be quite thought provoking.<br />
<br />
<b>Number Three: Smoothies</b><br />
For the next three months, Greg is participating in a health and wellness fitness challenge (with points; it's a little cutthroat) with a group of people at work, and I've joined him in his commitment to healthiness. This means really really sticking to a workout schedule, and plenty of homemade fruit and yogurt smoothies. Peach and raspberry is my favorite.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Number Four: Create to Remember with Heidi Swapp</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://heidiswapp.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83452191d69e20162ff7a92f3970d-450wi" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://heidiswapp.typepad.com/.a/6a00d83452191d69e20162ff7a92f3970d-450wi" /></a></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a href="http://www.mycraftchannel.com/Shows/Create-to-Remember/?omedia_id=174">Heidi Swapp's show on my Craft Channel</a> is actually pretty great. I've gotten quite a few ideas for minibooks and color combos already. I actually even made one of the books using a cereal box which I've yet to share here. Waiting for photos. ;)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Number Five: The Cricut Expression</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://main.cricut.com/shopping/images/CricutCart/products/large/29-0300.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://main.cricut.com/shopping/images/CricutCart/products/large/29-0300.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Greg got me a<a href="http://www.cricut.com/shopping/ProductDetails.aspx?id=123"> Cricut Expression</a> (and SCAL) for my birthday through some amazing crafty sleuthing on his part (he actually tried to get me a Silhouette Cameo but they were sold out for months, apparently). I'm pretty excited to start experimenting with it. My first project is to design an envelop in Illustrator. Also, I was really happy to discover that the sticky spray I use on my slice mat works perfectly well on the Cricut mat (mine did not come sticky at all).<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Number Six: Lynda.com</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://files2.lynda.com/files/lol_ui/ui/images/lynda-logo-on-blk.gif?c-v=24705" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://files2.lynda.com/files/lol_ui/ui/images/lynda-logo-on-blk.gif?c-v=24705" /></a></div>
<br />
I think I first learned about<a href="http://www.lynda.com/"> lynda.com</a> from a podcast that<a href="http://www.izzyvideo.com/"> Izzy Hyman</a> was on... can't remember if it was <a href="http://www.paperclipping.com/category/roundtable/">Paperclipping Roundtable</a>,<a href="http://thedigishow.com/"> Digi Show</a>, or <a href="http://foolishadventure.com/">The Foolish Adventure</a>. Either way, I am on my first month of membership and it's already improved my quality of life at work. Currently working through learning Illustrator tips (see item number five above) and also a bunch of things for Excel and Access. Highly recommend this site.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Number Seven: Staying Motivated and Fierce</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/alanataylor/15301093077/1/tumblr_lxae0fnkYy1ql7s9o" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://www.tumblr.com/photo/1280/alanataylor/15301093077/1/tumblr_lxae0fnkYy1ql7s9o" width="310" /></a></div>

<br />
Found this image on pinterest on a day when I really needed it. It has since been passed along to a few other friends who apparently also needed to punch the day in the face. It's the best new meme around here.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Number Eight: Pretty Fonts</b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp71sTDYG1r1kCzfsqbR1Gb8jSq2VLu2Xdp5J6WDHZJBbGgz0tj_Ze4bAFYKT5VwxhT7lmHCFPEIf4pg6yQf5MMdnUq7YS2f_GKc_7xd1m1k0zKxKprJZ2PkrM_Wzm4Vii7_Dp1kLM-osy/s1600/etsy-banner.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="61" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjp71sTDYG1r1kCzfsqbR1Gb8jSq2VLu2Xdp5J6WDHZJBbGgz0tj_Ze4bAFYKT5VwxhT7lmHCFPEIf4pg6yQf5MMdnUq7YS2f_GKc_7xd1m1k0zKxKprJZ2PkrM_Wzm4Vii7_Dp1kLM-osy/s400/etsy-banner.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
Have recently gone on a font binge. The above image was an attempted design for the Etsy shop (final design still pending). My two favorite sites right now are<a href="http://losttype.com/"> Lost Type Co-op</a> and <a href="http://www.fontsquirrel.com/">Font Squirrel</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Number Nine: Amusing TV Shows</b><br />
I tend to listen to a lot of hulu while I'm chugging through the data mines at work. Cannot get enough of <a href="http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/once-upon-a-time">Once Upon a Time</a> and <a href="http://www.nbc.com/grimm/">Grimm.</a> Also<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b00t4pgh"> Sherlock</a> on the BBC (while I'm waiting for more Dr. Who and Warehouse 13). I also like <a href="http://abc.go.com/shows/happy-endings">Happy Endings</a> and <a href="http://beta.abc.go.com/shows/castle">Castle</a>. I'm starting to get more into <a href="http://abc.go.com/shows/body-of-proof">Body of Proof</a> and I just watched the pilot for<a href="http://www.fox.com/programming/shows/?sh=the-finder"> The Finder</a> (a Bones spinoff) today. I haven't seen the new <a href="http://www.fox.com/alcatraz/">Alcatraz</a> show, but I'm intrigued.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Number Ten: Hawaii (Specifically the Big Island)</b><br />
I swore a vow that I would go to <a href="http://www.gohawaii.com/big-island">Hawaii </a>this year. I am making it happen.I may or may have already bought the products for the scrapbook of this trip about two years ago. Everything for this trip is still in the planning stages, as I'm trying to figure out how my air miles work. But I'm super excited. And a little terrified of flying over that much ocean. But more excited than anything.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Number Eleven: Pinterest</b><br />
Still having a good time<a href="http://pinterest.com/coffeegrlcrafts/pins/"> using Pinterest to catalog and browse for ideas</a>. Need to be more active about "doing" things that I find on there though.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Number Twelve: EfferDares</b><br />
Hell yes. You go girls. Love that you've<a href="http://www.efferdares.com/"> kept the project going </a>and stayed true to why and what you want to make art about.<br />
<br />
Phew, that was tough! One down, eleven to go!Christina C.http://www.blogger.com/profile/07078169783385975218noreply@blogger.com3
