Missing my mojo!

In my rush to clear the decks before my house was photographed I cleared all surfaces, unfortunately that included some rather important papers(this was nearly three weeks ago)that have still yet to make an appearance! Most importantly though, I think my mojo may be with them, either that or he has been packed up and taken to the flat!!
Not to worry I thought - they'll turn up.....won't they?
So, I've tidied, sorted and ditched more STUFF!!! Then sat down to read my latest copy of Cloth, Paper, Scissors and read through some ideas for art prompts....still nothing...then, onto good old blog hopping, starting with my favourites and "Whoopee!!", thanks to Gwen at Foxglove Hill I was inspired, and linked to one of those art prompts I grabbed my 'car journal', (kept in the glove box for those moments when I'm either waiting to pick up hubby or I'm being driven by hubby)and started to stick!! The little journal was from Paperchase last year and has repeated pages throughout so a little bit uninspiring - I have(had lol!)loads of scraps, (don't we all?) so how better to sort through and get rid than to use some up and at the same time make more decisions about what to keep/not keep etc. 







This is the original page, the three above are covered with scraps(some already stamped out
 and I did allow  a little bit of extra stamping)
The next original page.... and what I did with the others
this was one I started while waiting one day

I know it's only sticking but I spent a whole day just doing that and ok, mojo is still missing but I enjoyed myself and I've lots more to show you another time AND I don't have mountains of scraps anymore!
Off to watch Dancing on Ice in a while - just watching the penalties, Liverpool v Cardiff, then to ring my grandson(a Liverpool supporter - so come on Liverpool!)
Thanks for looking, Chris

Tweeting!

Not what you're thinking - I haven't caught up with that particular technology - yet! 
These are my version of some little birdies that I loved in the Jan/Feb issue of Cloth, Paper, Scissors made by Ann Ellis.
I made seven altogether, they are supposed to go onto coffee stirrers or skewers but my downsizing/tidying has resulted in my not being able to find them LOL!Hopefully I will find them soon and I can pick a stick each day to inspire me (or not) 
Here are the five good little birdies
They are going to help me in my toils to clear the clutter!
Here are the naughty birds
 I like these best because if I choose them I get time off to play, he! he!

Hope you like them, Chris

ps if you want to see more colourful birds go to Kate's blog here and Ann has work in an exhibition at Manchester Royal Exchange
