Sleepless in Seattle

Oops, I mean sleepless in Fremont.

I hate not being able to sleep.

But laying there really drives

me crazy too, so I end up just

getting up and doing something.

I got Neelix's ashes back yesterday

and look what they gave me.

Sorry it's dark, but it's 430 am and I
didn't want to turn on a bunch of
lights.  I was so touched.  I got back
in the car and just cried.  I miss him.
Everyone says I did the right thing, but
I still have a lot of feelings of guilt.
All part of the grieving process I
have learned.

The one advantage of getting
up early is that my muse works better.
She's been on point the last few
days anyway, so I have lots of
cards to share when I have a dry spell!

I don't like this card particularly but

I do like the closure.  It doesn't open

traditionally, obviously.  I love trying

anything that opens differently.

I'm going to make another today for

my ex's grandfather in the same style so

you'll get to see a better card.

I have had this panel sitting around for

quite a while.  I made it but then didn't know

what to do with it!  I came across it

while going through some other things and

finally had some inspiration.  The enamel

dots actually were the inspiration, believe

it or not.  For some reason they just

put the card together in my mind.  I 

love the verse and as I was putting

it on the card it reminded me of a

situation I've been going through the

past few months.  Thankfully it is

now resolved.  Sometimes you just

have to look back, smile, toss that

match and walk away.  I saw that on

pinterest and it just summed up my

situation perfectly.  I should put that 

on a card!!!
