One thing I'm really bad at is sitting still and getting work done at my computer. So today I'm going to mix work and play!
Here's the game... For every email I send out, I'm going to make a little something out of paper. The goal is to get as much work done so that by the end of the day I'll have created some kind of fun paper collage on my wall! I'm going to be updating this post throughout the day with pictures of my progress so keep checking back!
1:30pm- 10 emails done, 1,833 to go!
2:00pm
3:30pm- chair spinning break!
4:20pm
5:45pm- I have to run out for a quick photo shoot!
8:30pm- Soooooo maybe I stayed out a little too late last night but how can I leave this pretty view?! Time to finish my project!
Phew, that's a lot of emails!
I think I'm going to continue working on it until the whole wall is covered!

Ahhh! I can't wait to see what you're making! This is so much fun! :)
Ah! So awesome and exciting. I always do a reward system like that for myself. Not sure how much it helps but it's more fun for shizzle.
I'm excited to see what u will be making. :D
Fantastic idea! I look forward to seeing the results!

Can't wait to see what you come up with! Also, I started photographing the backs of people in posed photos like you did in your last post. So nice!
How great would that to be to solving paperwork boredom! Happy creating!

katie, good for you! so fun + such a great way to break up the day.
I always love your pictures ♥
I think that is an absolutely awesome idea! Considering that I'm a receptionist and sit most of the day behind a desk (which drives me bonkers!) I would think this would help pass the day fast!!!
Love it, love it, love it!

You make everything seem like it's lots of fun! ;)
This is a good trick for making my homework....
You are seriously the best! Made my day. I'm patting myself on the back for not sending you emails and increasing your workload!
Happy, great colorful, pics! Don´t envy you all the emails though, would totally feel stressed over that amount.
My 'to do' list will get much more fun! You are so cute Katie (:
Damn, this would have made my dissertation a little less horrible!! :)
Your blog is so bright & fun that I just can't help but feel a bit lighter...
I cant wait to see what you make!! I started reading your blog a month or so ago and had to go out and buy some colored paper of my own (: right now I'm cutting out about a million and a half stars to cover my ceiling!!
That's a great idea to mix work and play! I can't wait to see what you create.

I am always trying to fit in as much as possible, both craft wise and work etc. I like to fill all of my time :) Oh I also have the heart fabric from IKEA lol, going to stitch some doodles on it and make cushions I think when I get around to it!

Amazing! I love your little food break ;)

how do you get masking tape to hold poster board to the wall?? i tried it and "it all came tumbling down" so i used duct tape insted...
(smidge more hard core lol)
Butterfly wall is the best wall, I made one for my room when i was living for 5 months in NH. used different scraps of papers i found left after summer camp in craft room. :)
