the Prince gave me red flowers for Valentines Day - tres sweet & totally unexpected

carnations & cheap milk chocolate - Bonjour !! one of the fastest routes to this girl's heart.

Virgil (the cat formerly known as Gus) has removed every blossom & every spray of baby's breath from the bouquet and moved them to the floor at least 6 times now. Not sure what's up with this little floral obsession of his but it get's on my last nerve just a tad. I know if I want to photograph flowers ever inside I have to do it quickly before any blooms get chewed, dragged around, stepped on, covered with cat hair etc... + if the vase is clear he'll knock the whole thing over water & flowers - lovely - apparently he does not like the site of stems dans aqua ?? sighing

Last night after a long session of procrastination & whinging I tidied up my office/desk. Oh my hallelujah to that. Why do I drag my feet so with that particular task when it feels so good doing it (she's says with surprise & alarm). And once it's tidied, well good morning to you tidy office. Lets have a great productive day. It's a little lick and a promise tidy. Surface tidy because my head swims at the thought of how-to masterfully, sensibly & most efficiently store the growing amount of stuff that's all a part of my seedling Creative Empire - art supplies, reference material, books, tons o' vintage papers & tissue paper, sketchbooks, packaging supplies, filing erggggggh.
I really would like a super sensible system of organization but at this moment I have no idea what that would be. In the process of tidying up last night I was reminded of my jh status - junior hoarder - a weird mix of somewhat admirable, eco-conscious "can't throw that out-ness" combined with a pure & often inappropriate attachment to the most banal & mundane items.

My current 2 fav things to j hoard - card stock/kraft cardboard & bubble wrap - I proudly can say I have all the various sizes of bubble wrap from the extra large air filled bubble to the teeny tiny itty bitty bubble - what a thrill ! I know I will have a use for it one day. I know it!
