Lots of little things

Maybe you've noticed that I haven't been blogging as much lately and more importantly I haven't been blogging as much about artwork lately.
I've caught up on all my swap commitments and I've been feeling kinda lost. I find that exceedingly amazing as I thought that once I caught up on them I would have all this free time to commit to artwork that I want to do, what's up with that!

I did sign up for a 4"x4" Circus Chunky swap over on ATC's4All, which I'm rather stumped on for the moment, and I've also been approached about doing a private swap for some ATC's on both Craftster and Illustrated ATC's. I still feel a little blocked though. It's been so frustrating.

So in the face of this big issue what do I do? I've been running around the internet finding all kinds of great artists' blogs and I thought I would share a couple of them with you.

The first one is a great friend who has repeatedly featured me in her blog. I met Colorfuldayz through Craftster where we did a few swaps together and then realized we lived awfully close together and finally met. I have thoroughly enjoyed her friendship. She's an amazingly colorful artist.

The next artist I found at Flick'r and tracked her to her blog. Paulette Insall and she's been doing some really cute youtube videos that I've really enjoyed watching.

In checking out Paulette's blog I ran across one of her etsy artist finds and was pleasantly surprised to find Noodle and Lou. I really adore her little lulettes.

Then there is Suzi Blu. I find her very eclectic and wonderful and her blog is a happy place.

The last blog for today is Time with Tascha. Her artwork is so bright and happy and I love wandering around over there.

Do yourself a favor and visit all these wonderful artists.

Debi, thanks for such a wonderful endorsement! I have really enjoyed our growing friendship, too. I am looking forward to seeing you in July. As for the other comments on your blog, I can relate to your overall blockage and lack of creative output. Not sure what it is about, because with the child being gone and school being out I assumed I would be ultra productive ... but that is not how it is turning out and it is bugging me. Hope you had a beautiful weekend~

It so sucks that we can't be as productive as we want to be. It just makes no sense to me. I try to slog through it though.

My weekend was great otherwise. Worked on a couple of things that are almost ready to be "seen".

Can't wait for your trip either!
