S{ICK}

I am home from work really sick today, feeling sorry for myself that I don't have enough "get-up-and-go" to do some creating. As I've said before, daily creativity is my lifeblood. Since I've actually been sick for four days now, I am really in a creativity funk.

So . . . I decided to be creative anyway, with a minimal amount of effort. With my MDS.

As I accumulate new goodies in my MDS arsenal, I give myself hard copies of all the stamp brushes. In MDS, I create a new project on an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet, drag each of the stamp brushes to the project, resizing them so they all fit on the page, and print the page out. Without saving the project, I simply delete each item, and move onto the next set, repeating until I'm finished. I label the upper right corner of the page with the name of the stamp brush set, slide it into a sheet protector, and file it alphabetically in a 3-ring binder.

So, I snuggled into my nest, armed with my binder, and planned my project. I had decided to make myself a get well card, and I knew that I wanted to use one of the images from Word Play: s{ick}. Yup. That's me. Beyond that word, I wasn't at all sure which direction I would head.

Flipping through the pages, I discovered some purrfect images: the overstuffed chair from Little Additions, and two of the kitties and a mouse from Cute Cats.

A little more rest, then off to the computer. It took me maybe ten leisurely minutes, and I had a darling little get well card.

This is about the way I feel. Missing out on life's opportunities.

Hopefully this will be me soon:

Ah, I feel better already.
