Paper Hoarder

I love patterned paper. I am the only person I know who requires a rack to keep paper organized by color and it's still over flowing and not organized. My name is Heather and I am a paper hoarder.

So, I decided to work on some new objects for my near-empty little Etsy shop that would allow me to play with patterned paper and miscellaneous embellishments from my stash... you know, the extras in a package left over after I used specific items for a scrapbook page or something.

I got some blank journals and started decorating my little heart out...









As a result of all my busy-ness, I have received a complaint: My husband believes that there are tiny scraps of paper that are invisible to the naked eye on his side of the bed and they attack him in the night. That's the price of art, though. What can you do?

attack him in the night, eh? Does he feel like bugs are crawling on him, too? Does he abuse crystal meth? Just checking.

But seriously, 2 requests:

1. does the CAKE show explain why her name is cake?

2. please to be posting a photo of the insides of the journals you've made. I can't picture them. What sort of journals are they?

Heather Kelley said...

1) It does not. Also, her best friend's name is Miracle. That whole thing makes as much sense as "Horseland."

2) The insides are on the Etsy page... they are just plain blank white paper.

Ok, but

1. Can you hazard a guess about their weird hippy trippy names
and 1a. what the heck is horseland? I mean, can you guess at the plot?

and

2. What sorts of journals, though? Like... not spiral bound. A stapled thing? I know you didn't make it, but what does it look like before you work your magic on it?

1. No idea about the weird names... except that Cake's whole family seems artsy and weird. Grandma was a groupie.

1a. It's about rich girls (I guess) who all have horses and ride in competitions and gossip. I was thinking "is there really a demographic for this, but ok" until the end when this owl started talking to other animals when throughout the entire episode they weren't there at all making me think that all of a sudden I was tripping.

and

2. They're not stapled. They have a spine like a regular book... glued?
