Time to Create!!

I'm so excited because tonight I get to go to my friend's house and create with a few more of our friends!!  Now, this morning I wasn't feeling so excited because it's been such a very long week and I was thinking, "What?  One more thing?!"  Then I stopped and realized how rejuvenating it is to get together with good friends (good food too!) and just set our dial to CREATE!! Now, to get in the spirit of things today I will surf for creative ideas when I'm not doing actual work at my job here.  I've been finding that if I try to get my mind there before actually getting there I tend to be able to create MORE.  I think it's because I don't have to spend 2-3 hours trying to change my dial from practical/work to create/fun!  On my lunch I will peruse creative blogs and write down some ideas.  The one thing that I'm going to start work on is my gratitude journal!!!  I know, others have already done this but for me, I'm finally getting to it.  I am going to use the Lucky Level 2 Pack from CTMH.  Originally I had wanted to do a frou frou kind of a book, very sweet and very girly.  But I've fallen in love with this paper.  Yes, I already did one layout with it, but hey, I've got more paper and all the cute chipboard pieces and lovely stamps that go with it.  I'm using the little chipboard  My Creations All Sorts Mini Album I think I will use 2 of them and just use bigger rings.  Ideally this should be started at the beginning of the year, but I'm in the mood now!  You know how it goes, when you are in the mood, you just have to follow it because who knows when it will strike again.  Once I get the gratitude journal completed I promise I will post pictures and also offer it as a project class in July.  Here's hoping that you get some creative time this holiday weekend too!
