October.

Watercolor paper, spray ink, Spooky stamp. (Spooky Collage by Memory Box).

but wait, there's more. This is what happens if I stay home on a Friday. Copics.

Nice, huh.  Some Magenta stamped flowers.  For the curious people, the middle row:  Y17 and Y18,  then my favorite, E0000 as a base, with E04 and B45.  Finally the orangish one, YR02 and YR15.

And then pastels.  Too bad it is not spring, however, I'm sure it'll be spring before I get to sticking these on a card.  Will be nice to stick a brad or something in the middle and layer.  It's almost killing me to be good and stay home tonight...

cards and color chart

Well, I've been busy... working, golfing, stuff like that.   Travel... getting rid of "excess baggage", you know.  That takes time.  In the meantime, I did finally glue a couple things together.

I think I really need some inspiration, since these are pretty plain, but maybe I'm just trying to simplify things... life included.  It's like I either do Copics or Cricut, not both.  I've got to figure out how to incorporate that. 
In other news, I don't know why I'm OCD, but I hate "missing" collections.  This is getting expensive, considering that it appears I'm using my favorite colors over and over.  I need inspiration.  In life and in crafting.

Works in progress...

J Crew Incident

Well, I didn't just stop there.  There was a 30% off sale at JCrew online.  So... found some cute flip flops of course for $11.89-

There was obviously more of an incident than this, but this is mainly a shoe blog, right?  I'll leave it to your imagination, but there was yet another "incident".  I mean hey, it's my bday month.

I also bought some dresses awhile back that they still have, one of my favs is the Aveline:

and the Astin dress (sorry so small, but they are out of it) that I wore with gold accessories and my new gold Madden sandals I got at DSW last week.  Looked great on my tan.

Also picked up some Sparkle flip flops from J Crew:

What a steal.  I also picked up some BCBG clothes at Smart Bargains, and a Juicy Couture dress.  Ok, you can see those too...

Uh, yeah.  So, happy belated birthday to meee....

More shoes, for no reason other than they were a great deal?

um 6pm.com today.  Incident.  I was browsing shoes yesterday, and didn't see any great deals, when 6pm.com sent out a Twitter today... and looky here.  Donald J Pliner's, for $34.00, regular $340.00.  90% off.  I have these in brown, but paid $69 back then. 

To add to the incident, I then picked up some other flats that seemed like they'd be good traveling shoes.

Not "hot", but hey, even well-heeled women need a day off occasionally.  And for $22.00, regular $225.00, um, I had to do it.

To end the "incident", I rounded it off with some nice William Rast jeans, $49.99, regular $209.00.  I mean, fall will eventually come, right?

Even some shoes weren't enough to cure me...

Was kind of feeling down the other day - after the b-day, after the "breakup", etc etc.  Obviously, I was head over heels for no apparent reason, and didn't need shopping or crafting.  Dumb, I know.  So, back to the shopping and crafting... which I am apparently better at...

DSW.  Birthday reward $10.  Coupon $5. 

Brought my Madden sandals to $23.09. Considering they are still in style, not bad.

Next, I saw some cute flip flops I just *needed*.
Enter the Guess WG Joyce...  $18.32 (with part of my coupon discount). 

The shoes didn't quite make up for my crummy week, but I think eventually, they'll come in handy.  Expect to see more crafts soon.
