Snippets.

Just a bunch of things milling around in my mind this morning:

• needing to : exercise, eat better, simplify stuff, address my spending issues again, get some CKU-A stuff together & kits for classes at Art House in Portland

• thankful for : a really great email from my friend Dona, Chris taking control of taking Simon to school & finding afternoon childcare, getting more pages done for my next book (and a little timeline extension)

• obsessing about : Adhesives. Yep. Adhesives. I have picked up a bunch of new ones recently...especially glue sticks. My favorite new one was introduced to me at Photo Express - it is the Square Dual Edge Photo Glue Stick. There is something so "raw" about glue sticks that I am totally into right now...maybe it takes me back to that "playful" attitude of childhood. Picking out images and sticking them down. Hey, that sounds a lot like what I am doing right now.

I also like the packaging on the Tombo Mono Agua Liquid Glue. Have not really tried it yet so I can't tell you about its effectiveness...but I can tell you that I like the packaging...feels good in my hands.

• getting ready : to attend the Oregon Summit this weekend to support my husband...more to come on this one later on...
