Art Journaling: As Soon as I'm Not Tired ...

Hi, hi.

This page today is the 2nd illustration of my journaling prompt for the UKScappers Art Journey [which I wrote about here on Monday].

I won't go into too much detail about the prompt behind this [that's what the tutorial pdf file over on UKS is for] but basically this is partly to show a way of using song lyrics on journal pages.

The song in question here is Dan Black's 'Cigarette Pack':

When you're listening, see if you can make out these words[from 0.45 on]:

I'm gonna change this world; man I got a million ideas;
I'm gonna change this fear; make it totally disappear.
As soon as I'm not tired ... then I'll start my attack ...

Isn't that a great line:

As soon as I'm not tired ... then I'll start my attack ...

It's always made me smile! I think it's genius and I absolutely love it because, be honest, don't you feel like that sometimes?

You're a coiled spring! You've got so many plans in your head! You're full of grand ideas about how you'll develop that business plan, tidy that craft room, scrapbook more photos, change the world ... !!! And you absolutely, 100% sincerely do plan to get around to it all some day ...

... just not quite yet.

You'll just watch the end of Poirot first ...

Look, don't get me wrong, this isn't some desperate plea or a confessional about my levels of motivation ...they're doing OK thanks.

It's just I love how completely normal and human Dan Black makes it sound: as soon as I'm not tired, then I'll start my attack. He's been there. Clearly.

 Maybe I need to set up an 'As Soon As I'm Not Tired' club for similarly minded folk! Yes, that's definitely what I should do and we can have matching T-shirts and a theme song and everything and yep, I'm going to get on to it, I'll sort it all out ...just as soon as I'm not ... you know how this goes by now don't you? ;-)

OK, so I'm not doing that ... but don't leave me hanging, tell me does it all sound familiar to you too?

What are you lanning to do just as soon as you're not tired?

And as with my other themed series there'll be a Pinterest board running alongside it so ...

• Are you planning any projects, blog posts, photographs, journal pages, layouts, cards, stories, cakes, cushions and more .. which you could see fitting in - somehow - with my theme of yellow / sunshine / yellow /happiness / positive thinking / yellow  .. have I mnetioned yellow?
• If you are, and you get around to blogging them while the series is running [February], and you link to the series in the blog post / gallery where you share your project ...
• Then let me know and I'll add them to the Month of Sunrays board to share your cheeriness with eveyone!
