Altered Visions

Yes I Have been Tagged! (and not the 1st time!!!)

Well my friend Sandra has tagged me (as have several others previously (sorry can't remember who now!!!) and have yet to post 6 Weird Things About ME!!!!!!!! now really only 6!!!!! well maybe there are a couple of weird things!!! and I know my friends would and could likely count much more but haven't asked them!!!!!!!! so well here it goes!!
1. Once up and going on the weekends I hate to stop to get showered or cleaned up till I am done cleaning and/or arting or whatever else I have going on!!(which could be later in the day for sure!!) and though I love to see and hang out with my friends (I REALLY DO!!) hate to come home then and have to do anything like clean etc so kind of messes up my whole day!! but I did have fun!!!
2. when I start working on a project and don't get it done I hate to leave anything out!! everything has to be put away even if I know I will use it again later that day or the next!! I only have a small space to work in and on (because have LOTS and LOTS of stuff on my 3' x 5' work table!!!) so don't like a mess left where I or anyone else can see it!!
3. I hate to go barefoot even in the house???!!!! don't like things that poke or feel yucky under my feet!! even if I get up in the middle of the nite to go to the bathroom etc have to put on my slippers and in the summer have flip flops!!!
4. Love to work with and BUY lots of beads,fibers,papers etc but find that I tend to horde all my stuff in thinking I will use them for myself or just can't or won't give them up!!!! have made it one of my New Year's goals (no resolutions!!) to use more and also make things out of my stuff for friends and to sell!!!! (so can of course go buy more!!!!)
5. When I take classes as much as I love whoever is teaching etc (even with my friends!!) Love to watch and do some things but for the most part I would MUCH rather create at home where I have all my goodies at my fingertips to use as and when I want!!! so spend a lot of time watching and sometimes a lot of sensory overload too so take notes and things to do later at home!!!
6. Oh my see there are a lot of things ok now one last one!!!!!!!
as much as I love to bring home new things or get gifties in the mail etc I have to always come home and whatever I have bought or been given has to be put right away in it's proper spot!! my room is very small (and NO it's NOT because I have so many things and such taking up all the room!!!! OF COURSE NOT!!!!! ) but I am a bit of an organizational freak I guess that is why nothing lays out on my art table after I work on it even if just going to dinner have to straighten up and then when come back up just start over again!!

well there now think that is about it (well as much as you're going to get hehehehehe!!! )so I won't tag anyone since I think most of my friends have already done this!! but if you want to can do it and let me know!!! thanks Sandra!!!! check out her blog she does awesome work!!!! ( the link is above where I have highlighted her name!!) and I have several pieces from her over the years and hope to acquire more over the years to come!!!!!!!!! thanks Sandra!!!
