sleep.....whatz sleep???

so, since I went gluten free my energy level has skyrocketed and I have lots of energy...I've been going to sleep at midnight and waking at 6 am....raring to go....walkin' the show...

BUT...

this morning, when I needed to be up by 6 AM I overslept and got up at 7:30 so

GUESS WHAT...

Missed my flight to Vegas...!!!

Fortunately I don't stress......

 

Now I'm sitting comfortably in the United lounge, on their lovely WiFi and blogging the rest of CHA...

There's always another flight...I'm on standby...could be midnight ! LOL

Thinking about my sweet friend Judy Kaufman and the wood bangle bracelets she made with Shimmer Sheetz mylar. I MUST try this when I get home..I got some samples to play with.

Watching THE Ken Oliver demo and Fran from Stampendous

checking out more of Wendy Vecchi's incredible samples from her Art Parts line.

You will go NUTS for Rangers new Texture Treads....designed by Debbie Tlach. Remember how I used to pour UTEE onto rubber stamps...well, now you have these amazing designs with both a negative AND a positive side and they are INCREDIBLE for doing that exact technique.
