Sometimes I get caught up in the hustle and bustle of everyday life and just need to slow down for a bit to collect myself and free my mind. So, that's what I decided to do.
At the Weekend Memories crop this past weekend I didn't teach any classes or spend a lot of time getting pictures printed or projects packed. Instead of stressing after a long, tiring week, I decided that I was going to spend my time at the crop doing something that I have loved since I was a child -- COLORING!
It had been so long since I'd colored anything. At first I was worried that I might be
really rusty and someone would walk by and see how awful my blending or color combos would be. Then I got over it and printed out digital stamps from one of my favorite digital stamp illustrators, Krista at
Saturated Canary.
Then I grabbed my big girl crayons (
Copic Markers), my Daylight lamp, my Mac & headphones and headed to the crop to color.
Oh boy what fun I had! And it was so relaxing!
Here are a few of the things that I colored. First up is YoYo.

Like I said, it's been a long time, so my blending is a bit rusty. But it was so much fun. I look forward to breaking out my big girl crayons to color again soon!
