Better Living Through Creating
Last night I argued with both my son and my husband. It's a rarity anymore for Dennis and I to argue; not so much with my son Ben and I, since he's 12 and already exhibiting teen aged behavior. Still, it was very upsetting and I awoke this morning feeling upset and frazzled.
The only thing I thought might make me feel better was to enjoy some craft time, which I haven't had much of this week.
So, after spending a few weeks admiring it all, I finally got around to creating some tags of my own using some of Karla's wallpaper:

Now that I look at them, you can really tell I was having "the blues", eh?!
I used lots of vintage seam binding, pages from sheet music and dictionaries, old buttons and jewelry. Most of the pieces are completely vintage!
I really enjoyed myself! I think I'll keep one or two for myself, and put the rest in my Etsy shop.
Which is your favorite?

I've been meaning to order some of Karla's packages. I need to get on that.

PS I've found that creating can be the best de-stresser.
