One of those days.

Can't wait to see what you come up with for the art journal!
That is totally awesome that you were able to slep in.

I love how you talk about the winds of change percolating Ali- I am the same way- some days you can just feel it in you. Some times you just need one of those days.

Sleeping in is the best. Completing journal pages is the best too. Can't wait to hear your thoughts on risk... you've really given me some things to ponder =)

awesome sleeping in-age!!!!

Isn't it nice when you get a chance to sleep in like that?
I like how you used the word 'percolating.' I really like that.
Can't wait to see your next installement in your Art Journal.

I always feel that way too... "disconnected" I think was the word you used, when I sleep in. But I think it's wonderful that you got the chance to do that. Your body evidently was telling you to slow down --- and that seems to be the whole theme here - with the art journal forcing you to slow down and examine things and be introspective. There's a reason all that happens and I think you are right --- sounds as though you are on the edge of something mind-blowing.

I just want to let you know that you are an creative inspiration, everytime I read your posts I feel motivated. Thank you =)
I saw that you were listening to Matchbox Twenty, well you'd probably like, Tabitha's Secret also. That was the band Rob Thomas was in before MB20.

What a great relaxing morning and day! ENJOY!

Hey Ali- which photo editor/ paint shop sort of software do you use?

ahhh...11AM sleeping in is my kinda bliss. hasn't happened in WAY too long! must put that on my to do list.
Love that percolating feeling...usually it's the start of some whole new direction! can't wait to see where it takes you.

We hope it's book ideas too! :o)

You described that whole change in routine / sleeping in thing so well - disconnected. What is that I wonder? When that happens to me, it takes me hours to function well, but when it finally does happen (maybe even a day later) I seem to really benefit from my hybernation. Seem to be more in focus. I guess we have to go out of focus, to be able to re-focus clearer than before...To really see. I love your latest creations.

I think something is in the air - I know so many women on the same ride, I know I am.....another book idea is music to my ears. have spent so many hours exploring and experimenting with A Designers Eye - it goes everywhere with me. enjoy this ride wherever it may take you!

Having one of those days myself. Have I really accomplished anything?!!! Probably not. But can I just say how excited it makes me that "Something is percolating in me again though." I too hope that it is book ideas.

I have nothing to profound to say except I LOVE peanut butter, honey, and banana sandwiches - they make me happy and fill my stomach when I don't feel like cooking anything! :)

good 4u Ali! {been a walking zombie myself - sleep deprived for days and days. sleeping in sounds wonderful. sleeping in at my house - a distant dream)
can't wait to see your entry on RISK... been contemplating mine... want to do something beyond my usual SAFE style.

I am so intringied by this art journal! Do a idea book on that!!! I would LOVE to give that a try!

you deserved the sleep!!

Okay... I'm going to stop lurking & post something. :) I just recently figured out what "blogging" was when I found your site through a friend. (I’m a late bloomer when it comes to technology.) I must say... you are just too cool for school, Miss Ali. You are so insightful and open with your thoughts. I love reading what you have to say.
I totally know what you're talking about when you say "something is percolating" within yourself. I get that feeling often too. Sometimes I don't know what to do with it, and other times it's a great driving force for bigger and better things. Can't wait to see what's stirring in your genius brain. ;)
