Altered states...

After Monday's post, I had a crafter's block. What is that? It's like writer's block...I couldn't focus and I just couldn't find my groove. It took me three days to finish notepads that I could usually finish in one or two days. So, I went shopping. Not clothes or shoe shopping...I went to a scrapbooking store and walked around and just breathed and took it all in. Forty five minutes later, near broke but happy, I went to Home Depot next and  breathed it all in again. And, found my groove again. I picked up some wood for a project, metal shingles for magnet boards and oohed and ahhed over tool chests (not for my husband, but, for me).
So, tonight, I altered stuff - clipboards, specifically .

The top board has 2 pockets to slip notes in and the bottom is more like a message board - I adhered some cork to it and added some post it notes and a calendar.

These are two different projects - the black zebra print is a cookie sheet magnet board and the one on the right is a clipboard with a cork piece and some metal shingle that was cut in half  to use as a magnet board. I also glued some magnets to the back of some mini clips that I had from SU! and put that on the board too.

I also altered some DVD cases from SU! I decorated it with some DSP and embellished the front and on the inside included a notepad, pen and a monthly planner. The middle is actually a two pocket folder that I made for it.

Well, these are some of the items that I've got going on for my little craft sale on Saturday...got a few more pics coming up later today...have a great Friday!
