So I worked on the rest of my tags for a little bit today. I didn't get a whole lot done-I am stuck as I don't think it looks finished. I really think it needs those feathers. I have realized one things in doing these swaps. I want to do by my best work. If I can improvise with something in my stash that should be my first option, but if the project needs something that I don't have it is okay to go get it. I realize we all don't have the same tastes, I just want what I send out to be something I am proud of. So yes after much deliberation, I am going to get black feathers tomorrow. Now I just have to have self control and only buy feathers.
One other thing I did crafty related was rediscovering my stash. I started going through my embelishment containers....I had flashes of "cool I forgot I had this" to "what was I thinking." I found some great things that I can use on swaps without having to justify more shopping.
I think that not getting my paper order for the paper cake this weekend was a blessing in disguise. I spent time with Josh today instead of being obsessed over getting that done. I will be that way x 10 during the week. Today we watched "Paul" it was a stupid funny movie. Just the thing I needed to get out of a funk.
Hope everyone had a great weekend.
