Welcome Back!
Today I feel like an old friend came to visit and we caught up! I've been meaning to send a photo of my updated scrap space so here it is. The table is my Christmas present from IKEA. I actually used it today. Maybe it was the awakening of some of my senses that haven't been stimulated for awhile. My ears had the pleasure of listening to Maroon 5 (both CD's please) and soundtracks from Moulin Rouge and Elizabeth Town plus the fabulous voice of my 3 year old in the background. My eyes were surrounded by color and memories as I worked through photos and fantastically visual paper, ribbons, hardware and paint. My nose happily accepted the paint and glue smells. My mouth was refreshed by a never ending cup of Diet Coke (ice please) and some chocolate. And lastly my fingers really had the best time of all, the other scenses should be jealous as they were covered in paint, glue and ink. Even the new table joined in and welcomed it's first paint and glue stain. Thank you IKEA for making the table user friendly, comes up with a wet wipe. So what did I work on? I finally added my niece, Ellie and my nephew, Gage to our family tree album. That poor album has been wishing for their presence for some while. I really don't know why I have been in such a creative slump for the past 6-9 months now. I could blame it on a busy live with an intense church calling, family and a traveling husband, chronic leg pain, the need to start Alias all over again from season 1 (NEVER get tired of my friend Sydney Bristow) and Felicity from start to finish (love JJ Abrams). Maybe it was the physical experience of handing over my primary binder to a new sister that actually made me feel 10 pounds lighter mentally and physically, or letting go of the need to do the dishes, laundry and clean the house for one day. Whatever it is WELCOME BACK old friend, I really missed you. And here is another sense that was stimulated today, my funny bone. As you look at the photo of McKenna you will notice that she is pointing out a work of art that ended up on the table not the paper which is where it is supposed to go. When asked "what happened?" without skipping a beat she says, "Angela did it mom". That darn Angela, (McKenna's invisible friend for the past year) she sure is mischievous. Maybe some day I'll catch her in the act but for now she remains illusive and continues to be the scapegoat for most mischievous behavior centered around my 3 year old. So invisible friends, paint and a day full of creativity ROCKS!

So glad you are channeling your creative self and feeling better. Its always good to release some of that creative energy and feel like you have accomplished something. Your work space looks awesome. Mine could use a little help its basically a messy closet right now. Wish I could see what you did for Ellie's page. McKenna is so funny those imaginary friends keep getting her into trouble. I can sympathize my alter ego "Angela" keeps leaving the kitchen a mess:)
