Happy Holidays!

Happy Holidays! Merry Christmas!
I watched "A Wonderful LIfe" last night while decorating the tree. Yes, I am a bit behind. I have so much to share with you all! I will do so soon, I promise! I plan on doing an overview of 2008, including my greatest inspirations of the year.
Warmly,
Lia (aka. artjunkgirl)!

Multi-tasking is not good for your health...

So, I've heard.

Yet, I continue to do more than one thing at once...each and everyday. I have taken multi-tasking to a new level. As I shared in the last post, I've been working on shadowboxes, swaps, etc. etc. The list goes on. Not only have I been over-tasking my multi-tasking skills, but I've added new tasks to try to solve the problem, like organizing things better, etc. etc. As I've said before, I have lists for my lists. Why do I do this to myself?

Anyhow, I've decided that again, it's time for me to take a little blog break, etc. I need to regroup and get myself together. I need to slow down, focus on a few things, not 10+.

Rest assured, I will be back on the blog block soon!

p.s. here is the dorothy shadow box (almost complete...just gotta find Toto)...maybe that's why I need a breaK? hee hee.

MaryAnn!& Halloween~

Dear Friends~
Where do I start? Ok...ok, MaryAnn has come back to visit me...all the way from "cheese-land". I am SO grateful to have her here! My fam. was a bit NUTS and Bolts today, but I'm hopin' they will leave us up to our own devices soon so that we can ARt up a storm!
MaryAnn arrived with lots of goodies and gifts in store. I was able to finish up my "halloween" wall with the lovely things she brought for me! I also participated in Lilia's (fleamarketstudio's) Vintage Halloween swap. Maria *(The Junk Drawer) blog, was my partner and she sent many lovely things, which I have included in this wall display (trick or trick sign, BOO framed piece (love, love), and much more!)
My "JJ" made the ornament on the right and Mar's gave me that "cuter than all get-out" guy on the left. Ohmygosh, there is lots more to report, and I "PROM" to do that soon. Today is Halloween, so I gotta go play party mom, and all that, but then it will be back to art as usual. Ohmygosh, I am SO excited about what lays ahead in the next two day of art mischief with my soul "sista" MaryAnn!!!!

Have a happy and safe halloween...and don't skear me...'cause I'm a fraidy cat...ok?
