home and back in the groove...sorta!

I got back from North Carolina on Sunday night late...

sometimes when i travel it's easy peasy...

and other times it's HELL...

for some reason coming home from inspired Sunday was hellish...

it started off great...

got to the airport early...

my first leg of the trip was no probs...

but from DC to SLC was another story...

we sat on the tarmac for two hours...

{drives me crazy}

no reason...

noting said...

just sat...

and sat...

finally we took off...

i was about to scream!

luckily the middle seat wasn't taken so i could spread out a little...

i slept for an hour or so...

watched a movie...

as we approached Salt Lake the weather got bad...

the wind was tossing the plane...

we couldn't land...

so we circled...

and circled...

it was bumpy...

to say the least...

then the pilot went for it...

probably the scariest landing ever...

i grabbed the poor kid next to me...

but we landed...

whew...

so so glad i don't have to get on another plane for a few weeks...

bout did me in...

i could have flown to Europe in the time it took me to get home from DC...

that would have been nice...

but i am home...

for about 3 weeks solid!

looking forward to it...

went to my office yesterday...

did two press checks...

exciting...

worked with our web designer...

we are so close to launching...

it looks amazing...

loving the branding of the new company...

amazed that our warehouse is filled with paper...

actual printed paper!

crazy...

it's been a whirlwind...

like the pilot...

we went for it...

didn't circle...

just headed into the whirlwind and went for it...

i can't wait to share more...

being gone last week filled me creatively...

inspired was amazing...

Bill and Donna did a fabulous job...

i loved spending the week with Christy...

she is my true...

loved teaching...

loved even more taking classes...

pushing myself creatively...

letting go of some control...
learning to make something beautiful out of trash...

loved spending time with dear friends...
loved laughing together...

being silly...

loved making art late into the night...

loved funkin & junkin in art journals...

again, learning to let go of perfection and embraceing the art inside of me...

it was just what i needed...

but it's good to be home...

blogging from the cottage...

in my own bed...

i must unpack that suitcase...

filled with art supplies...

my art i created...

i was inspired...

thank you Donna for having me...

so grateful i was there for the final inspired...

looking forward to what Donna has up her sleeve...

it will be amazing...

here's to a great week...

this post was intended for yesterday...

my Monday post...

it took me a day to get back in the groove...

Happy Tuesday...

kiss kiss

So glad you got to be a part of "Inspired" Margie! I know it was a much better event than ever if not the best since you were part of it. I went to my local Archiver's last week and of course your lines always catch my eyes in the mass world wind of 'other' product lines, etc. It's like you have 'read my mind' (may God help you!) and picked up on everything I ever dreamed of, colors, themes, - my soul sista!
Hope to get you back here in "the Lou!" sometime soon! Love, miss, and need you much my beautiful angel! xoxoxo

Hi Margie,
I am glad you made it back from NC in one piece! Your flight sounded scary.
I took your class at Donna's studio the day before Inspired and I was wondering if you could email me pictures of the sample. This was the "unexpected" class that had to be substituted when the materials for the "Kitch" class didn't arrive. (Did they ever arrive?) The paper line was "Jubilee". (Gorgeous!) Thanks so much for any information you can give me.
