Self Portrait

 
Don't you love the "bow" in my hair? I love this place; it's like wandering through someone's attic! Very little gets tucked behind locked glass cabinets.

Taste Test

 
Really, mom? PRUNES????? I can see your cookies over there.

 

 
The trick is...as I've discovered...is to be sure to wear more than you actually ingest.

Chaos

 
I don't do creativity neatly.

 

 
Doesn't look too bad..but, I've alerady cleaned up the mess.

 

 
And, let me assure you; it was a dandy of a mess!

 

 
Most supplies have been placed back in these drawers.

 

 
I copied yesterday's photo and created 2 quick little journals for my sister and myself. Messy is good.
