twenty eleven.

First post of twenty eleven! Hope all of you bloggers are enjoying this new year so far and are not too miserable from your resolutions. It is day 4 of my diet, meaning day 4 of no chocolate (yes, I'm DYING) and I feel like I should atleast be a size 4 by now. Sadly, the scales and my pants do not agree. Screw you holiday weight, screw you!

Other resolutions I have vowed to keep...until February.

-Loose the excess poundage (see angry paragraph above)

-Keep my car clean. (ha..ha..ha)
-Journal.

-Volunteer/ Community Service

-Update my blog regularly (permission to laugh was just granted)

Today, inspiration hit like a MACK truck. Not that I have ever been hit by one, but that seems like an appropriate (and dramatic enough) metaphor to compare my burst of inspiration. I crafted with paint and scrapbook paper not 1, not 2, but FOUR canvases. You can see the canvases at the beginning of the post (odd I know), because blogger (the best website ever, duh) messed up and will not let me arrange the post as I wish.

Canvas explanation:

1. Based off the Nickel Creek song, "When You Come Back Down". If you have never heard it, I would suggest giving it a listen.

2. Roll Tide.

3. Was inspired by the color on Kate Spade's website! So bright and cheery!

4. Again, wanted to work with color and I have always loved the bird scrapbooking paper!

Cheers to a New Year, yall!!
