Living a Life that's Crazy Full



When Ronda Palazzari asked me to be a Guest Designer for One Little Word,  I was beyond flattered.  When she told me the word was "Crazy," I thought she must have esp!  While the usual word associations for "crazy" might be "crazy over you," or "you're driving me crazy," for me the word immediately described my life right now!

Let's see -- how many balls do I have in the air??  They are all memorialized on this art journal page!


Sometimes I feel I bit overwhelmed by the energy swirling all around me...


But then I remind myself to pause and breath, and try to enjoy the ride.  Because it's all good!


My life is crazy full, and I love it!


I stenciled the word "CRAZY" using a technique I learned from Carolyn Dube's free online workshop "Use Your Words!"

Here's a short video of how this page came together.  You might even say my process was a little crazy!

Thank you so much to Ronda and the rest of the DT for One Little Word for inviting me to guest design.  What does the word "CRAZY" bring to your mind?  I hope you'll create something around it and link it up to One Little Word!

This crazy page will pay a visit to Inspire Me Mondays, Mandarin Orange Monday, Monday Mantras, and Make it Monday.
 
Thank you for stopping by and (I hope) leaving me some words!  I read and treasure every comment and will answer any questions as quickly as I can.

    Crazy makes me sing - at least in my head - Patsy Cline's version. Or whenever I do something that I know is crazy (which is often) it starts in my head again. I think I will try to find the time to do an artwork inspired by crazy....thanks for the inspiration!

    I really love the page and watched the YouTube clip - terrific. When I first saw the images I thought I was looking at a large painting so when I got down to the clip I was really surprised!
