From Thanksgiving to Christmas, I was crafting like a mad woman. Sure, I made my Christmas cards and gift tags like usual, but what took up most of my time was creating a Halloween Horror Nights scrapbook for my sister. Although I don't have any photos (yet), I am proud of my work. It's actually the first originally-designed (as opposed to being from a kit) complete scrapbook I've ever finished, and I'd say that most of the layouts were quite good.
After a month of scrapbooking during every free moment, however, I'm relieved to be able to return to creating art for art's sake. I always enjoy creating gifts for friends and family, but on some level it is not as satisfying as creating art for myself. I am looking forward to getting back into my art journal, even though I can already feel the blank-page syndrome coming on. I also want to create some mini art to use for soldered pendants. As a matter of fact, as I type this, my mind is generating more and more project ideas. There is so much art to make, and so little time!

Well, at least your working on your blog! Which is more than I can be proud of...I know exactly what you mean though. Sometimes you want to scrap for the brain break and the sense of orderliness, but then all you want to do is go back to more pure art for the creativity. I'm glad we can do both! Thank you so much for the AWESOME Christmas gifts!
