book art

When I got home Friday night after bad date, I have urge to create so bad. I pull out the directions for "book art" I had seen in Mary Engelbreit "Home Companion" catalog. I'm going to do some today and when I figure out how to post photos, I will post some! So looking forward!!!!

the dearth

Work has been so crazy this week, filling in for the editor on vacation, that I don't get much time to do creative things and it's a huge bummer. I do get to edit at work, which is somewhat creative, but nothing like the projects I could be doing at home.

computer cake

The cake turned out really good. People loved it. I was afraid they wouldn't be able to figure out what it was, but everyone knew. Though everyone in the newsroom thought I was the one who thought up "Be obscure clearly," which I wrote on that computer screen. I can't believe I was the only one who learned in J-school that it was E.B. White's famous saying.
Hey, I guess that's a compliment-people think I am as witty as E.B. White!

computer cake!

Okay, so even though I gave up sugar and processed foods and foods with dyes, etc., I still have the urge to bake cakes. There is almost more of an urge now. (Maybe it's my way of getting my fill of sweets vicariously or something like that). So I volunteered for this week's "coffee hour" at work. I just have the urge to decorate, create. I decided on a computer cake theme. Let's see how it comes out.
