I'm having one of those days where I just want shout "Take this job and SHOVE IT!" I'm tired - and it is wearing me out. I want my brain to be able to think creatively, and not worry about all the mice-nut sized details I have to keep track of for 40 hours a week. It makes me cranky going from wanting to use the side of my brain that functions the best, to having to use the side that just wants to sit back and enjoy the colorful ride. So, since I can't *really* say those words to anyone I want to say them to, I'll put the words here - real quietly - and trust all of you to keep my secret!
On my lunch break today, to relax, I made this birthday cowgirl. She's being sent to someone special this week - someone who shares my birthday. There have been few bright spots in my day today. Creating this card was one of them. YeeeHaw for birthdays!
Oh, it's so darling, Anna! She will LOVE it!!! It's perfection, coming from you, girl!

Being one who struggles with the left brain/right brain/crappy day job dilemma, I have to say a quick easy creative project works wonders for me, also... when I can convince myself to actually DO it and not just DREAM about it.... The card is incredibly cute (as always, Miss Anna). You've inspired me off my keester and into my rubber room. Will it be productive? Tune in tomorrow...... :-)

Anna - you are one of my inspirations! Love that you created such a cool card in the midst of your 'I could scream' day. I've had those days too, and now I'm actually quitting! Too much fun stuff left to do with my life to stick with an uncreative/low pay job :)

Love this card! Do you know how much your larger scalloped circle reminds me of a Moravian Spice cookie? (http://shop.moravianbookshop.com/browse.cfm/4,273.htm) Gee, maybe I'm hungry! LOL.
