Crafting Therapy.

It's been one of those weeks.  You know the ones.   The one that is seemingly filled to the brim with all that "stuff"  you'd rather it not be?  Well, I have been trudging my way through slowly but surely.  But today, I decided to stop trudging and just get on with it and be firm in my belief that there are blessings in every situation, even if they aren't immediately apparent.  So I decided to buck up and get crafty!  I nearly gave this week's CR84FN Color Challenge a miss due to loss of mojo and any semblance of energy today (but really, I think I was too entranced in my little pity party I had going on).  Then I realized that missing this challenge would only instil a bit more gray into my day, because what I really needed was to have a play with color.   To miss this week's challenge would have been a shame.   Hence this super quick Stamp & Go was born.  I think it mildly funny that even though I did manage to get my craft on, it did serve as a slight attitude adjuster, despite my odd choice of a less than chirpy sentiment.  I guess I wasn't fully ready to let go of the irrits, but I did try.  A mild buck up is better than no buck up at all, right?  Goodness, I sound like that sentiment.  Ack!  Enough of that.

So, before I get all maudlin here's my gorgeous geisha girl that got me going again..sort of,  *wink* for this week's CR84FN Color Challenge featuring Garnet, Chartreuse, and Cream:
