Deadlines

I'm racing against the clock again. And before any of you send me nasty text messages demanding I step away from the keyboard and pony up to the paint table, let me say that I'm waiting for something to dry. And find this a rewarding way to spend a few minutes break. So there!

That said, my inspiration seems to grow in relation to the closeness of a deadline. Or perhaps I simply lose the time I usually allow myself to agonize over even the smallest of decisions. My current project a sketchbook for The Sketchbook Project 2011, which is like a concert tour only for sketchbooks, must be postmarked January 15.



So since it's Thursday and I find deadlines motivating (even this weekly one with Sara over at Gitzen Girl, thank you Sara, I'll post a sampling of what I'll be sending off Saturday. Before midnight. The theme I've had to work with is Make Mine a Double. Here you'll find three of my favorite things to have "made a double," although I only allow myself the last these days. Seems my addictive personality takes over when I indulge in the first two.





I recently read an article in a medical magazine that 3-5 cups of coffee WITH CAFFEINE THANK YOU per day can help with prevention of Alzheimer's. Of course there were many other practices one could include daily to help fight the onset of this disease, but this one seems to be the only one I remember.



The sketchbook page is dry. On to another! Sure do love these deadlines, regardless of what the Professor might think!

What are you creating in your world this week?
