For Paper Lovers

Over the summer I discovered Flow, a book/magazine/collection meant for paper lovers like me (thank you, Barnes and Noble.) It's packed with so much stuff I can't possibly cover it all, but I'll try.

Basically it's 300+ pages of writing papers, tags, cards, stickers, wrapping paper, envelopes, planner pages, paper to make dimensional projects, several note pads, mini posters, a reading poster, a journal with a cover you can customize and even some paper dolls. There are themes to each section (Time to Slow Down, Time to Plan and Time to Play) and images and designs everywhere to inspire you.

Postcards, too.

A pop-up card (I love these.)

Tissue paper for wrapping.

The little journal.

A record player-shaped notepad.

Flow is not cheap ($33.99 US) but it's a great value when you think about what you pay for all of the above separately. The popup cards I buy at Disney Springs run about $13.00 each, for example. It's also a book of inspiration, at least for me. I am still able to hand write letters, and I'd like to do more of that. I would love to make my own desk planner for next year, and the pages for that are in Flow. There are tons of ideas I've gotten just thumbing through the book. Highly recommend this book to all paper lovers looking for some fresh supplies and lots of creative designs.

Wishing

I submitted book one of my NA series for professional review and consideration, and in return I was praised for the work and provided with excellent feedback. Now I have some changes to contemplate, and decisions to make about the future. I have a couple of different directions to take, which makes the deciding part a challenge. At times like these I wish I had a crystal ball so I could see the outcome of every choice. Wouldn't life be easier if we could do that? Image by Matthias Böckel from Pixabay

Downtown Discovery

My guy and I are taking time each week to walk around the downtown areas of places we've never had time before to visit, which is how I came across a lovely fiber art supplies shop wth amazing handspun art yarns and hand-dyed embroidery threads from local artists. Fine silk embroidery thread is literally impossible to find in my part of the country, but not anymore. I also loved the amazing selection of hand-dyed flosses. I even found some tiny seed beads for my current project, and a gift for a quilter friend. While I try to thrift as much as I can for my art quilting and embroidery these days, I love the chance to support our my local weavers and dexters.

Of Kork

On the second day of March I overslept. I spent ten hours sleeping, which is very unusual for me. This is because I've suffered from insomnia most of my life, but since making significant changes (like acquiring my current day job, which allowed me to escape all the toxic people I had to deal with in my old job) I sleep much better. These days I usual manage six or seven hours sleep, and if I'm very lucky eight. But ten? I sleep that much only a couple times a year, and generally only when I'm sick. Dreams might be to blame. I remember the night was filled with them, all lovely. I traveled across Europe, I walked the streets of old cities and met lots of interesting people. In one city I stopped by an engagement party where a very attractive couple were exchanging signed contracts. The groom showed me his, and I read these words: "Course shall become Kork." I understood then that they meant to be together forever, and that it was a reincarnation co...
