I organize stuff. My middle desk drawer was driving me nuts - so I took a few minutes and straightened it out. Then to further avoid meaningful work, I went through my file drawer and then organized all my current client files into a basket. Some days my OCD just kicks into overdrive and well - here you have it... I still haven't finished organizing all of my stamping stuff, but that day will come. I've been working on my bookkeeping clients' stuff; it seems like they drop it on me all at once and since they are mostly men, what they drop on me is usually a big, disorganized mess. An obsessive-compulsive's dream job!
Another thing I do when I don't feel like thinking is web-surf. I have added a list of websites that I frequently visit to this blog - it's always nice to share. I am a big fan of Alexandra Stoddard's books - the layout, writing style, colors - and of course, I adore Mary Engelbreit. Her site includes free screen saver and desktop background downloads of her cute artwork. Alicia Paulson is an artist I discovered in an article in Hallmark Magazine - she also has a cute blog. I am also a Vera Bradley collector; Tim knows he can never go wrong when he shops at Crowder Brothers for Vera Bradley for anniversaries, birthdays, Christmas... I saw Tom's Shoes on a phone commercial and wondered if it was real. It certainly is and for every pair of new shoes they sell, they give a pair to a child in need. The next time I buy a pair of shoes, they are coming from Tom's.
OMG, I really need you to come to my house, seriously!
ReplyDeleteYes, Crowders is the place for me, I think the sister and mother get all my gifts there, from Vera B to Brighton. I always have to go when I come back to town, too!
