March is creeping up fast. I have hit a wall with my art work. Just can't seem to find my groove, as they say. It's been that way for weeks. In spite of taking classes about journaling, I am still standing still.
I love this pretty lady with the four leaf clover. Makes me think of St. Patrick's Day. My paternal grandfather immigrated here at the age of two from Ireland in the 1835. I am proud of my Irish heritage. Irish soda bread is a favorite of mine. It's where I get my fair skin, reddish brown hair and blue eyes. I love to listen to The Chieftains. Give me a happy leprechaun any day! 
This is the only family picture of my 3-greats back grandfather, John C. Ryan, born on January 18, 1833 in Emily, County Tipperary, Ireland. He passed in 1928.
Several times a week I get an email from Cloth, Paper, Scissors called "Embellishments." It is full of new ideas and wonderful things they are doing or have discovered. It is an informative email to get and I always look forward to it. Two weeks ago I got an email about their new quarterly publication Studios. In that email there was a list of suggestions on how to decrease the size of your stash in an eco-friendly way. Well, I read those and think that I will employ most of them.
My stash is overflowing. Don't think there is much chance of my using it up in what is left of my lifetime. I continue to add to it. Then I forget what I have. I constantly dig through stuff and find things that I had totally forgotten about. Sound familiar??
Well, I am going to start "destashing." Three of the five suggestions given in that email were to sell it, give it away, use it up. I am going to employ all of those real soon! My stash is taking up a lot of room, I can't find things, it's time for it to live with someone else. Besides, I could use some extra cash! Who couldn't??
