TGF Susie Surprise and February Sketches 2009 (Compilation)

Hi Friends! Wow, it's Thursday already. It's unbelievable how it seems that the days are just flying so quickly. Last night I was complaining to my husband that I wish I needed only 2 to 3 hours of sleep so I can get more things done. The truth is if I didn't waste my time and was a bit more organized, I probably could get more things done and still have a full 8 hours of sleep.

Before I went to bed last night, I worked on this card. This cutie is an image by The Greeting Farm and the set name is Susie Surprise This stamp set is one of April's release so stop by TGF and check out the new releases!!

I paper pieced the flower thing on her head and colored the rest of the image with Copic markers. This card sort of "evolved". . I initially had a different plan for this card but things didn't work out so I "improvised". You must think I "improvise" a lot with my cards. I actually do. Many times what I start off with, usually ends up as something else! LOL!

Hey, I'm almost done with the 3rd Twilight book "Eclipse". Before I went to bed last night, the plan was to finish it but at 2 in the morning, well I could no longer keep my eyes open to finish the book. I'll finish the book today and will start on the 4th book "Breaking Dawn".

You know, I was once an avid reader but stopped reading for one reason or another. You sorta need to get into the groove similar to needing your mojo when you craft. Well, the nice thing about Twilight. . .it gave me back my reading mojo and I cannot wait to find another book to read after I'm done with Twilight.

Anyway, don't forget to scroll down and check out the other card I made last night. I also posted the compilation of "February Sketches 2009" below.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!
