Just Another Manic Monday...

…wish it were Sunday! Today is a busy day for me, I have spent the last hour or so doing a paper on Barack Obama’s book Audacity of Hope. It really is a wonderfully articulated novel, even if I don’t support him on every issue. My computer hasn’t been working that well either but thanks to the extended warrantee someone from dell should be showing up before 12, or at least I hope.

I don’t have class today which is great, but as I mentioned I have that paper to finish and a test on Locke and Machiavelli tomorrow. I think you can apply Machiavellian thought to cards, does the end justify the means? Do the 3 hours you spent embossing, coloring, brayering, eyeleting (apparently a word on Microsoft Word !?!), and generally racking your brain justify the gorgeousness of the card?

Or would you rather a simple card which took 10 minutes to color and just as much to finish? Today’s card falls into the latter’s category. This easy and fun card is part of my bin of note cards, which are basically simple cards which you can use for anything. This girl was colored with Copics (No surprise there!), backed with a pieces of something from and old Magic Scraps kit (Remember those??) and placed on a piece of SU! Green Galore. I really like it!

Also, I've been getting a lot of questions about how I manage my time. Well, I am taking 15 credits which is a full load, but I only have class Tuesdays and Thursdays by some wonderful schedule tweaking. Therefore Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays are my catch up days. I intern with the county on conservation projects by doing graphic design, I volunteer at a local school, I hold a couple of sorority positions and on campus ones too. However, I seem to still have some time left over, even after school work (last semester I made straight As), to focus on crafting and relaxing. I think it helps me get through some pretty intense days.

On Another note, the survey on the sidebar seems to be pretty equivocal but there is still sometime for one answer to pull ahead (I sound like CNN), so vote (please)!
