A really stupendous, stellar, and amazing Great Big Bag O’ Grabs!  THAT’S WHAT!  

This is me: Inventing Graphics….

In the midst of a full-on attack of wondrous ADD, yesterday, I put some deep thought into what I want to be when I grow up!  Part of me wants to give without end.  Part of me wants to create without end.  Part of me just wants to feel better about myself.  So, in keeping with that modus operandi, I developed the Great Big Bag O’ Grabs, in the hopes that I will be able so share some of my talents with others.  

All in all, this deal is pretty sweet, if you think about it!  Here’s the full value of what’s inside: 

• 1 handmade scarf  (retail value  $10-25 bucks easily)
• Report on Earning Cash Quick with legitimate strategies (Worth @least $1)
• 1 article written to your specs  ($10-50 on quality content sites)
• 1 Calligraphy-ized quote ($10 at least….)
• 1 good quality new or used book ($5-30)
  
• Link Love- Priceless
• Recipe-Priceless and TASTY!
  
• Custom-designed graphic ($5-10)

No matter if you add up low end ($40 bucks) or high end ($125), you’ll be getting a tremendous amount of stuff for a very, very hard to beat price!  Furthermore, you get quite a bit of say so in what comes your way, and someone who is willing to delve into your psyche (via your online presence) and create gifts that suit YOU!  All for $9.99! 

What is not to love about that?  

This grab bag ties together my yarn addiction, my love of art, my writing skills, and my penchant for wanting to make new friends, and rolls it all up into one spiffy package for you!  

If you’re interested, just read this for all the details!  

In other news, it’s gonna be a tremendously head-spinning week here.  Making some gifts for family for the holiday, and focusing on writing jobs to bring in some more cash to pay some more bills (as usual!!).  I’m still searching for more pics of Bella’s Mittens  but have yet to be successful!  This saddens me to no end!  

And as if I haven’t had enough on the brain with creativity and writing, I’m facing surgery to have my Gall Bladder yanked out through some microscopically-minute hole somewhere along my side…..HOW will they get that thing OUT through such a small hole?  I don’t wanna know!  So, I have my surg consult this week, and hopefully Friday or next week, I’ll be on the surgical assembly line for parts yankage!  I cannot wait!  I am tired of being sick.  I am sick of being tired.  I hate pain pills, but I need them….but then they make my head hurt, and blah blah blah…so yeah…:D  That’s my whiny world update in a nutshell!!  

It’s Monday, and I’m looking forward to finding more great yarns to spin for the rest of the week!  Enjoy, and again, check out the Grab Bag!  You won’t be dissapointed!!  

 Armani Ad scanned from Dec. issue of Vanity Fair

This is the reason why I am so enamored of the fashion industry. Not the seemingly endless supply of gangly 60-lb waifs that can contort their limbs as needed, not the holier and better than thou attitudes of the fashion elite, and not because I can then run out and buy every trend thrown in my face….no. I love fashion, because of the OVERALL appearance of one piece. One ad. One shoot. One design.

In that single, solitary moment, when my eyes first encounter an ad like this one, I totally am removed from myself. I am totally transported to a world where my own shape and size no longer matter, and I can simply bask in the utter and complete wonder of the design, color, form and flow of a piece. And, we all know, that it’s more than just each element alone. If I saw this dress on a hanger, I’d probably walk right by. If I saw that model in anything else, like the dress she wears on the 2nd page of that spread, I wouldn’t have looked twice.

It is all elements combined together in one brief millisecond captured on film, rendered in whatever editing software they use, printed on shiny paper that make fashion my favorite form of art.

No matter the medium (be it fabric, yarn, paper mache, tinfoil, etc.), if it is designed, composed, and presented in such a way as to mesmerize me and take my breath away for another brief millisecond, I know it was worth it to have looked at it!

Find your art. Find your muse. Find your inspiration. Don’t get stuck in letting everyone (in popular society) tell you what you like. Seek it out yourself!
