I have been absent from my blog, as I have reached my own saturation point. Swamped with duties, and living in a haze of tiredness. Trying to rest as much as possible to counterbalance the stress.
I have been in self-preservation mode.
I have missed so many of the amazing events in the blogosphere, but most importantly, I have missed each and every one of you. I have some serious catching up to do, and come Thursday, I will be buzzing around your blogs, taking in the honey of your words, and leaving some gifts of words and wishes.
In my wrecking journey, I have done little. My mental energy was used up in the everyday, and my creativity has been used to survive this.
But I have done some wrecking. Nothing earth shattering. But here it is none-the-less.

I took some of my carrot sticks that I was snacking on while watching So You Think You Can Dance and dipped them in ink, making these drawings. Then dipping them in watercolor. I giggled a lot through this process, making sure I separated the drawing carrots from the munching carrots. A mix-up would have been yucky!
Finally, in much need of some energy, I wrote myself some positive thoughts to carry me through the last stages of summer school. The color that seeped onto these pages from others, makes these messages even happier.
To see what the others in the marvelous Wrecking Crew have been up to go to the magnificent Jamie Ridler's Next Chapter Book Club here !
I hope you are all doing well, and I will be back soon to celebrate your achievements, marvel over your talents, commiserate with your frustrations and rejoice in the blogosphere that has brought all of us together! :)

You seem to have kept tapped into your creativity even in the midst of all that's happening for you. Your thoughts about keeping oneself happy being like putting money in a savings account - brilliant! Hope you will be re-charged soon!
I loved the page of good thoughts. There I was all impressed with the delightful colouration and then you tell me it had seeped through from the other side! That's what makes the wrecking such fun - it opens up all sorts of creative opportunities. Have a good rest and enjoy!
