Hello Friends!
I'm up early this morning making my lists, etc. and feeling kinda blah. I had a allergic reaction last week to something and the symptoms keep lingering.....I hope to get some rest this weekend. It always helps to divert myself with my various creative obsessions. Thought I'd share some of my latest with y'all here on my little blog.

1. I heart Martha. Yes, I do. Always have. Always will. Now that she has her own line of craft supplies, I heart her even more. I swear, whenever I go to Michaels and I enter "that" isle...I see fairy dust being sprinkled about and I go into this fairy tale craft abyss. Everything is so neat and organized, pristine and color-coded. I mean, have you seen the blank labels in her isle? I want to buy it all, but I usually leave with something I "need", which is not hard because she has many useful things as well as some frillies. I tivo her show every day. My youngest dd and I watch it together...although one day she watched it before me when I was running errands...that little bugger.
2. I'm totally obsessed with magazines. I'm a certified, magazine carrying member of magazine-a-holics anonymous.... I ALWAYs have at least one on my "list" to go out and find/buy. I believe the headlines. yes, every word....those little cliche phrases like, "walk off the weight by next week", and "look great by next weekend"..oh, they give me so much hope, that I, too, can look like a million bucks by eating the 4 "secret foods" I'll find out about after I buy their magazine...
3. I have little snacks I get obsessed with and I will stay with them until I find my new "fix". My current "fixes" are:
CrystalLight Lemonade
Klondike 100 calorie icecream bars
part-skim mozzarella sticks
and
tazo chai (especially starbucks skim chai latte)
and last, but not least I'm obsessed with
4. my square puncher...yes, after nearly 8 months of making little square collages, I finally bought a 1" puncher. I can punch til the cows come home. I love this new little toy. Did you know that Martha carries punches? Her square one is foo-foo ish with a rounded border, (I got mine as a gift from Chrysti, who's been a major enabler of my square obsession, sending me more prepunched squares than I can make this year!) I used Martha dears punchers for a few of the above squares. Hmmm.... i wonder if Martha could make inchies? WEll, of course she could, I know she loves squares.
She would.
Ok, enough babbling from me...off I go to my next adventure. If only in my own mind. lol.
