More Smashbook Pages!

Feeling more like myself today!! Yeah it's been months since I felt like my bubbly self! I also organized my craft area so hopefully I feel more inspired to be creative (since I know have a surface to put anything on) but I thought I would post some pages that I did a while back.
 So as you know I love doing currently's :) it's a snapshot of what you were feeling, doing and wanting for one moment in your life. You are never going to get that moment again so you might as well record it.
 This was a prompt of what is my guilty pleasure and I know I sound like such a Washingtonian but it's coffee! The more shots of caffeine the better especially when I have to get up at 5am to get to work. Have I mentioned I am NOT a morning person.
This is one of my favorite pages that I have made so far. This was a different take on the currently. The I hope and I want labels I got as a free printable (don't ask me where I got them I have gotten so many but Sweetly Scrapped is a blog that I usually get them from).
Well I'm glad I could share this with you all! Look forward to a post about my awful improving drawing skills since I am taking a amazing class from Megan Suarez!
Tuddle loo,

Currently...

Currentlys are so much fun so I thought I would do it again...

Currently....

Listening.. to my fridge buzzing. I'm trying not to watch TV today (It's hard but sometimes you get so many other things done and I usually use my brain more haha).
Loving...  my mom. This past couple weeks while I have been a super depressed ball of blackness, she has really looked out for me. What would we do without our mothers/mother figures?
Thinking... that I need to sign up for spring classes but stupid Financial aid decided it was a good idea to try and do a exit school survey thing. Which to me is ironic, they say you have been going to school but now my piece of paper says you should be graduating (which I haven't yet, way to rub that one in guys) so we are going to put a hold on you so you can't sign up for classes. Then I really need to take the exit loan thing if I can't even sign up for classes! Errrrrr
Wanting... to be creative again!! I feel like I've lost all my mojo and I really want to draw, do smashbook pages, work on my regular scrapbook, listen/play some music, and journal. But thinking of doing any of that makes me feel like I need to take a long nap (after my 10+ hours of sleep last night).
Needing... to get grocery's  I have been eating top-o-roman because I haven't been grocery shopping in over 2 weeks now. I just got paid but I don;t feel up to shopping yet. Plus I just bought a slow cooker finally and I can't wait to make some pulled chicken sandwiches (I think I'll post tomorrow that recipe because it's supper yummy and even easier to do.) 
Reading... The Shape of Mercy by Susan Meissner it's definitely a young adult read but sometimes simplicity is nice. It's about a rich girl that is hired to read and translate a diary from the salem witch trials. I have always been fascinated with the mass hysteria of the Salem Witch trials, it's amazing what people will do when a group of people are all doing the same thing.

6 Things I Love Right Now

Well I've been pretty depressed lately and haven't wanted to be creative in any way shape or form so excuse me for my absents. I went to the doctor and got my medication upped. Do any of you have stories about depression? I've been dealing with it since 9th grade of high school so for over 9 years, considering I'm only 23 that's a good chunk of time. 
I think to get myself into a happier set of mind I'm going to do a...

6 Things I am loving right now!

1. I'm reading Catherine the Great by Robert K. Massie I'm not a big history buff or anything but I have always been fascinated with royals and their very interesting lives. History isn't all that boring when you find out about all the juicy personal and downright bizarre stuff. 
2. Netflix I don't have cable or anything I just watch Netflix. It's nice when someone says "have you seen this commercial .." and I can honestly say know. And when it comes to not feeling like doing anything or to tired to go anywhere Netflix keeps me sane. 
3. My Kiki, nothing like a cat to curl up with when your feeling down in the dumps.
4. You tube, the ultimate time waster and I learn a bunch of art journaling and artsy things, then there is the funny cat videos when you need a laugh. 
5. My dentist office, this is the best dentist I have ever been too. They were the only one to notice that I had mild gum disease and get preventative care. My teeth have never looked better I know all the ladies by name as do they know me. Plus they deal with my entire anxiety issues which is saying something. If you are in the Lynnwood, WA area and need a dentist give me a message and I will gladly refer you. 
6. My boss, she has been dealing with my crazy emotional mess and given me time off so I can deal. 

Anyway, I hope to get feeling better and posting a lot more.
