Random Brayered Background
Hello there!
I know many of you have asked where I have been lately. Well, truth is, the mojo just hasn’t been flowing. Why, you ask? As many of you know, I work in the banking industry. The past couple of weeks have been pretty crazy, and my work days have left me drained of creativity. 
I’m happy to report, though, that I am back in the swing of things, and will be back to posting. You will find my posts sometimes here, and sometimes on Ellen Hutson’s blogs In Touch and The Classroom. I’ll be sure to let you know where you can find my work, OK? 
So, with that, I am directing you to the In Touch blog this morning, to check out a cool technique using the brayer.
Be sure to check it out HERE and let me know what you think!
Hope you all have a fabulous day! Thanks for your support! Hugs~

When your mojo leaves - mine does to because your work is SO inspiring!!! LOVE the post! As my dad called up and told me, “I quit thinking of all the money I lost!” Great Dad - glad you’re in good spirits! He replies, “Yes, instead of me losing my nest egg I just see it as you losing your inheritance! It doesn’t hurt as bad!” Ha!

I checked out your project — just gorgeous! I’m glad to see you posting again — you always inspire me!
I’m sorry things have to be so crazy at work — hang in there!
Hugs! Christina

Loved that card and tutorial, Trudee. Hope you are feeling better. Work can be such a drag. Glad to have you posting once again!

So glad that you are back…stressful times in the world of finances. I drove behind a little Cooper convertible yesterday and thought of you. It was the first Cooper that i recall seeing.

Hi Trudee,
Stress can certainly cause creativity to go out the window….been there many times. Sorry it’s happened to you but so glad to see you’re back.
By the way…..I’m writing from Kazakhstan! We finally had DSL hooked up to our hotel room and glad no more internet cafe. The manager just hooked us up with TV cable and we now have English stations - 15 of them!
I don’t know if you’ve been to our blog lately (probably not because of work)…..but we’re on our adoption journey and have our little girl. We’re still in the bonding process. It’s hard to believe this is finally happening. We’re in week 2 and I will be here until mid-December. Living in Kazakhstan has certainly been interesting.
Take care,
Eileen

Welcome back, Trudee. I hope your mojo stays with you, even though it seems as though things have not really improved in the financial state of things.

Glad to have you back! I work in the banking business and some days I come home and just don’t want to do anything so I feel your pain!

A gorgeous card and a cool technique too, Trudee. I am warning youu though, you should hide the new dies from Spellbinders that you got as a DT member because I might drive up Ashville way and steal them. You do know that people have been waiting forever……LOLOLOL Seems like everything out of China is late these days. Hope your banking business is looking up too. We do have some tough times ahead.

Very cool technique, with such great results…. These times are stressful that is for sure, hope things soon ease up for you!

Hi Trudee, Just checking that you are ok. I also keep checking since I subscribed to your blog and I thought something was wrong with my subscription since I had not gotten any updates.
Hope all is well.
Take care,
