Making a Mess

I’m feeling a bit down in the dumps this afternoon, so I decided to make a mess.

Here’s how the mess originally looked:

I wasn’t too keen, so I turned it on its side.

Being done in PowerPoint and Photoshop Elements it isn’t really a mess at all, Well, everywhere wasn’t as messy as it could have been had I not done it digitally.

I’m still in the dumps a little, but a quick burst of creativity with colour lifted my spirits a little. I’m just going to lift them a little more now, but I haven’t quite decided how. Maybe a run. Maybe a grapefruit. Can’t decide. I’m not going to be down in the dumps for long. By Jiminy no!

    Ice cream – YUP – ice cream always makes me happy. Oh, and potato chips with sour cream dip or mixed nuts.
    YUP … mixed nuts that’s the one to eat. After all, a nut is nuttier than us, isn’t it?
    The painting has a bit of Monet oozing out. I like the vertical. The strong lines look like trees. Actually, the bright colors make it more joyous than sad. Smile now … 😃

      😄《- There’s me smiling! 🙂 Splashing the colours around helped, Isadora! I need to really try to avoid food, so colour’s the next best thing!
      I thought it looked like trees in the vertical – I much prefer it that way!

      Exactly. Thanks, Beverly. I just wanted something quick to make a virtual mess with! I was too in the dumps to be bothered tidying a real mess up afterwards! 😃
