I miss my creativity time .. somewhere amidst a crazy life with two teens, a tween, a sexy man, a twenty year old "step", a pair of silly dogs and a serious facebook addiction I have lost the momentum to create.  Occasionally I still drag out the camera and do a little digi-scrapping.  I've held a garage sale and cleared out the Junk room that used to be my crafting room.  I just can't seem to get motivated to create.  This space has been much neglected and ignored and I miss the motivation it used to give me.  In an effort to get back in the groove I decided to spend some "me" time this morning perusing blogs rather than cyber-stalking people I've known since childhood.  How much can they really have changed since .. oh, yesterday?   Who wants to spend a morning off doing chores?   I came across the Thursday 13 .. memes used to be something I loved to stimulate the thought process.  What better than my favorite number in an open meme to look for motivation.  I've decided that since this blog was originally started to maintain my sanity as a single mother and inspire my creativity that I would revisit my favorite 13 posts .... Hope you enjoy and that it get's me back on track.


1.  http://ginamariebee.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html   My very first post .. over five and a half years ago and still looking for a creative kick ... wonder what that say's about me.  At least I now know how long I've had my camera and no wonder I am jonesing for a new one.
