viv out on a whim

Hello all.. Wednesdays always seem like the longest day of the week to me.. but once its over, we're more then half way through the week! Thank God.

I think I've mentioned before that I'm a magazine addict. well the last couple I bought are these two; artful blogging and somerset life. You should check them out. There are pieces in each by girls you'll probably recognize from blogland.

And so many more that you'll recognize. I love what these girls all had to say about blogging, how they got started, what they blog about and why they keep on blogging. I know you'd agree that we all pretty much feel the same way! (guess you'll have to read them so you'll know what I'm talking about!)

Also both of these magazines are packed full of inspiration. Most of you are probably already familiar with these, But I'm a "late bloomer here!" I'm bought them several times before, but these two just seemed to impress me more then the past issues.

I really enjoy bopping around out here in blog land. I wish I had more time to keep up with everyone, though, its probably a good thing that I dont!

SO how are we doing swappers? I had three partners. two of which have been recieved. I sent to NJ, Denmark and Italy. Italy's the only one that hasnt been recieved yet, well, at least as far as I know! the others, Jenn, and Maija recieved and loved their little miniature bears. I'm so glad!

I have a new project brewing in my head.. and its not a bear or a doll! Im going to be making something special for my sweet friend Mystele soon, she and I are doing our own little swap.. I adore her art work. I think you can tell a lot about a person by the art they make.. Her heart is definitely beautiful!

Ok.. Im off and about.. time for PJs.. magazines and a brownie sundae!
