DLP #4

Good morning!

Playing catch up with the 

Documented Life Project.

I'm still working on January.

This is Jan 24th's project.

The Challenge is Writing

&

The Journal Prompt is Words with Friends

Since I have few friends who have stayed true over the course of my life I decided to start with a letter about them,

 how I feel about them,

what they mean to me, 

etc.....

Now growing up we were always taught to keep things, 

feelings,

to ourselves so

after writing the letter I got out my stencils and randomly started covering up my words, 

thought's, 

feelings.....

I finished with the yellow roses.....

Friendship Roses.

In these two close ups you can see some of my words peeking through.

Someone might even see her name hiding in there.

heehee

I'm really loving this project. 

I'm just starting but I'm beginning to see where I will be able to work through some things that I need to work through 

and that is definitely a good thing!

Messy office...2

If you saw my post yesterday then you saw my messy office 

and my 

perpetually messy desk!

I wrote that post a week or so ago and scheduled it.

However, 

some time this week I got another spurt of energy and did a better number on my desk!

I now have more room to play than I've had in, probably, years!

Here it is now...

Look at all that usable space! 

I'm right handed so my glue & heat guns are in an awkward place but they work better there because of the plug so I'm dealing with that...

and for some reason they took up more room on the right side...

I don't really get that but 

it is what it is! 

Hope everyone has a wonderful warm spring and a great summer!

My messy office.....

Ok, 

I have a question.....

Why do we make so much more of a mess when we are supposedly "cleaning"?

Here's what things looked like in my office while I cleaned!

In all honesty I,
 once again,
 forgot to take a before picture of my desk but,

this is what my desk usually looks like.....

not clean by no means but,

 this is what it grew into while I was cleaning.....

Seriously why?

Happens every time!

Wish I could show you a prettier, clean, after photo of my desk but

 if you are anything like me you know 

the desk is the last thing to get cleaned,

as well as the first thing to be messed

and since I decided to work in my art journal last night it's a mess!

And once again, 

I forgot to take a before picture 

however,

this, below, is what this area looked like while "cleaning"...

trash bag and all! 

LOL

Here we are today.....

Hmm, now I can see the ugly carpet.....sigh.....

I found this cart below on Amazon and grabbed it for my little paint station.....

Love that it's on wheels so I can just roll it over beside me while I'm working with them.

So much easier than having everything in several boxes all over the room!

My closet area however,
(yup, that is the real before picture, proving that "before" is always an after thought when it comes to me & picture taking...after making a mess on my desk and floor in the other side of the room I finally thought "Ooo, I should take before pictures")

went from this.....

(yup I love Amazon...lol)

to this.....

I still have a bit more cleaning to do

(does it ever stop?)

but I am so much happier in there now!

I can walk around without tripping on or kicking something!

Perpetually messy desk.
Cleaner, more organized closet.
Ugly carpet but cleaner floor.
Corralled paint supplies.

Took a few days but it was worth it!
Now I have room for a new mess!
haha

Thanks for stopping by!
