Faux Tag Spread

In a previous Cocoa Daisy project, I created a tag using the October Glow Creative Ki t paper to serve as a bookmark. I loved the idea so much that I decided to use it as a template throughout the spread. By tracing around it and then shading in the edges, I was able to mimic the look of layered paper and give my pages extra depth without the bulk. It creates a dimensional effect that makes the tags look like they’re tucked right into my notebook. To keep that “layered paper” look going, I added strips of washi tape from the Planner Kit to the top and bottom of each 'tag'  Washi is one of my favorite ways to bring in more texture without overwhelming the page. It frames the sections nicely and it also helps divide my to-dos from my daily schedule. On the left-hand side I used a Top 3 box to focus my priorities, then scattered in task lists, appointments, and reminders for the rest of the day. I also I divided my tasks into AM and PM lists I do this quite often because it makes...

"How are you doing?"

This is not the "How u doin'?" from Joey of Friends, which can't be farther from my mind at this point, but it's the "How are you doing?" thing every kindhearted friend I see these days says.  Even if I'm not around they ask hubby who says "they are all asking about, how you're doing".

I tend to go into hiding as much as I can at this point because soon they say, "haven't you had that baby, yet?" Which really makes me feel like a beached whale.


Do I see the light at the end of the tunnel?

 Well... do you want me to be honest?

Instead of being a hermit who can't leave the house out of sheer will power, I don't leave the house because it's -9 without windchill and who needs to deal with that.

So what am I doing...

This is what I'm filling my days with:


This                                               OR                                                  This

depending on how impatient I am.

making more of these before V-day!



I wish I was sitting on grass in a short sleeved shirt, but I am knitting.
But I live here...

 Only 4 weeks left and it's only the dead of winter. Nice, isn't it!
