Terrific Tuesday


When I was working my 9 to 5 job. Tuesdays used to be my favorite weekday, not Fridays because in the publishing world Fridays are frantic, deadlines are tight and work is given out with a 20 minute turn around. Which we use to jokingly say "quantity and not quality". Now that I'm not in 9 to 5 mode, Fridays are fun again. But I still think Tuesdays are terrific. Well anyway this little bunny stopped by to say have a "hoppy" day.

Jump start creativity


Hi all, I'm reading a book called the Artistic Mother http://shonastudio.blogspot.com/ by Shona Cole. It's really good so far. It's about fitting creativity in your life. I particularly like that it urges you to create everyday, regardless of how you feel. As an Artist and mom, generally speaking, I like to create art when I "feel" like it. But one of my teachers once told me, "Just start the process and the feeling will follow". I need to put that into practice, and Just start today no matter what. Hope you all enjoy doing something creative this weekend!

Artist mission statement?


The vision board that I just created got me thinking about an artist mission statement. I think it would be a great motivational tool. The vision board definitely is. The vision board reminds me how passionate I am about what I want to achieve. It also reminds me of the balance that is required to make my goals a reality. I'll keep you posted on my progress with the mission statement and I love to know what you think on either topic.

Creating a vision board

I am trying to add a little clarity to my life. It was suggested to me by Marisa from Creative Thursday http://www.creativethursday.typepad.com/to create a vision board. Hopefully I can do that this week. Here's a link to find out how to make one http://christinekane.com/blog/how-to-make-a-vision-board/ I'll keep you posted on how it goes and I'd love to know if you make one too.

Beautiful Day!


It was a magnificent day around here today. The kids and I spent this beautiful day walking around the neighborhood, blowing bubbles in the backyard, getting my car washed and running errands. The Hyacinth in my kitchen window are so fragrant. It was absolutely dreamy today! Yippee spring will be here so soon!

Exercise Streak

Hi all, I started an exercise streak in February on the opening night of the Olympics. And I have been exercising everyday since, for 21 days now. Boy did that time go fast. My goal is to exercise for 15 minutes a day for 100 days straight, then take one day off, and do 100 more. Join in if you feel motivated to. Even 15 minutes makes you feel great and the streak keeps you going, because you don't want it to end. Let me know if you try it. I would love to have some exercise buddies.
