I didn't even see it coming.

I did the Mother's Day thing with my mom on Saturday because my brother had scheduled to do stuff on Sunday (our family isn't one of those that do things together) so I had the day to myself. I know, I know...all you mom's out there would have appreciated a day alone yesterday over whatever gifts you received, right? Sorry to brag, ha ha.

Well, I've been without my creative muse for awhile now. And it has been killing me! I'm generally not one who ever gets stumped when it comes to creating little pieces of craft but despite many efforts I wasn't able to make anything I was satisfied with.

Enter yesterday. I was inspired. I spent the entire day sanding, painting, gluing, cutting and feeling more like myself. I completed four different projects for friends that were all way overdue (although none known about by the recipients so it was just my self determined deadlines), thoroughly contemplated a fifth (which is still in the "I don't know what to add to it" phase), as well as reorganized my collection of videos and cds. If only I could always be so productive. Apparently eating cookies and staying in my pajamas all day is the trick!

The rearrangement of my media collection was long overdue. I used to have all items in one cabinet but it had long been outgrown so instead I took all the magazines out of one cabinet (I rarely buy them but acquire my mom's discards often) to dig through to be sold on eBay (yes, you can sell anything there), put my cds in the cabinet and left the vhs tapes (and my few dvds) to the original cabinet. Storage of these items can be a pain and an eyesore and being the decorating diva that I am, a proper home for them is necessary.

The video tapes hide behind a floral tapestry in a book shelf and the cds are in a cabinet that was once someones potting cabinet.

Now I just need to do the dishes, mow the lawn, put away several loads of laundry, change the sheets on my bed, clean the cat box, sweep, dust, water the plants...why is that no matter how productive we are there is still so much left to do?
