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!
