One Ct call is soon ending. Another one tomorrow, and another one before the month ends. I also passed sausan and karen hunt and missed summer simmon's and meredith. I narrowed my preferences to Jan, Dani and Gina C. My problems are:

1.) Time (here a lot of factors steps in)
2.) Restrictions
3.) Have I got enough pictures
4.) Am I good enough
5.) Can I scrap fast enough (so far I have taken my time because I do so much in between, take this blog for example and my other blog.)
6.) I have shopped frantically the latest months and have still too many supplies unused

The last and first is the biggest hindrance. And then again, I have to stop thinking to much, and just have fun. But I think ideally guest spots are better for me. Lie Fhung has guestspots, so does Meredith, Dani M., Gina Miller and Designer Digitals. Gina C's CT call is a 3 month spot. But still it's still fun to be creating for creative designers, and up till this day I still regret not entering Meredith's call when I see her great new releases.

(Oh my, I just submitted my application to dani m. This is exciting. So it is about having fun, taking chances, being challenged, getting to know other people and just let go)

Ok, enough ranting. Here is a LO I made last night. I said before that if I ever needed Dianne's magic brush, I would buy it spontaneously and so I did.
