Talk about organization.....



Well...the other day when I said I was going to get organized I was inspired by my hubby! Every once and awhile he will go through the kids art drawer{ we keep paper,crayons,colored pencils,scissors} he will take out their pencils and sharpen each one! I think it's a tedious job and think it's pointless{ no punt on the word point...Ha ha!} Yet he thinks it's better for them and everyhing is neat and tidy! Well this time he took the pencil out of the box and put them in ordinary drinking glasses and displayed them on a dresser I have in the living room! Voila! It was a work of art on it's own! I just loved the look of it! Very atrsy,chic and neat and tidy!So to tell you the truth hubby is the reason I'm going through this organization phase!

Nothing like sharpening pencils and getting right to the point!Just thought I would share that!

An update on the Humpty Dumpty Swap















I while back I shared with you my ATC's that I made for the faerie zine group I'm in on Flickr. The theme was Humpty Dumpty at the circus. As I've told you in the past,I love making these artitist trading cards! They are so much fun and I love the challenge to create tiny works of art!The 1st card I recieved was"Tightrope Humpty" by Angellea......









How cute is he balancing on the tightrope!I just love it! Then I recieved a card from Stacy [Creativemuse]. She didn't put a title but I'll call it "The Dainty Dancing Dumpty"! It put a smile on my face. Too cute!





It's so amazing the creativity one has! We are all alike, but yet so different! What can I say...Two of a kind!




Have a great day!
