Ohhhh perspective

Time away is always a good thing. It's all about perspective.

Seb's on vacation and we're taking some time off from our place and housesitting for a neighbor friend now and all next week. It pays to be the only person left in the village! We have a nice house to look after and all the amenitites, dishwasher, t.v. and a bath. Yay! A nice bath puts it all in the right perspective.

We haven't completely abandoned the house. We're working here all week, digging holes, doing plumbing, packing the kitchen. After next week we're off on a little excursion of our own. We need some mountain air. I can't wait to round the bend on that autoroute and see the alps. I think that by the time we get back to the house we'll be feeling really motivated to finish the work and live in the middle of an awful lot of packed up boxes. The REAL work starts in September and October.

I wish I had more blogging time. I have so many art projects to share, and my newest passion -- carving stamps. I'm completely obsessed! I've already done way to many to count and I'm still averaging two or three a day. It coincides really well with journaling and collage work and I love it. I'll try to share some photos next week, some of my favorites that I've made and some of my ideas borrowed from a few different blogs.

But then again I might not get back on the computer because there's just so much going on. Oh well!
