Hanna and her Inspiration

If you don't have Hanna's blog bookmarked,

GET TO IT!

She is SO full of creativity and inspiration

and ideas that it truly boggles my mind.
When I grow up I want to be just like her

:)

Her most recent topic of discussion has been

Blurb and its very awesome capabilities

to produce professional-looking books

that. you. make.

HOW AWESOME IS THAT?!

They have pre-designed layouts you can use,

or you can upload PDFs of your own layout 

and upload it to the website.

Hanna uses InDesign for her spectacular photobooks

she's made. I am on a free 30-day trial trying

to learn this stuff.

I love learning new stuff

Gets the creative juices flowing

One thing I worry about,

what if I learn TOO much?

Or run out of things to be excited about?

I sometimes worry that I am not focused enough

on what I like to do creatively.

This whole new world has exploded last July,

and I'm running around like a chicken with my head cut off,

drooling, going "Ooh I want to do this! and this! and this!"

And then get overwhelmed and shut down.

What do you do to focus your creative spirit?

 (But I still want to make a book...I just have to think of what!)

You know how I said I loved my iPhone? 

I still do...and the fact that I can take decent pictures

anywhere I want has me on picture taking overload. 

Me getting ready to water the plants outside work

(I loathe this task)

This little fella somehow made its way up to the desk

Today a Kindergartner goes to me:

"Do you like chicken?"

"Yes, I love it"

"Well you should...EAT MORE COWS!"

*he dances a jig out the door*

Kids are hysterical, aren't they?

Cool lighting, eh?

I get to write on this board...pure joy

my arty water fountain shot

I mean...for a phone taking these pictures, its pretty great.

One day I'll get back to art journaling....
