People are still here. I have not had time for art, no, wait, I don't believe in "not having time" for art...I really have not had energy to devote to some of my projects as we've been running about town, trying to fit in visits in and out of the house. My Mom is also back from my sisters and she requires Lots of attention, both needed and guilted. It's been so nice to have family home though, and parents (who are gettin older but fun to see interacting with the young one's). There's been lots of eating, (pass the chocolate)..watching movies, sleeping in, doorbells ringing and lots of shouting for those hard of hearing, BOTH young and old if you get my drift.
Since I haven't been able to actually do alot of art (other than a few of the squares
I've been using any down time to just organize and puruse through my growing paper supply, I also used "pajama" time to organize digital photo images I want to use in future work. I figure now is a good time to stock up, sort and inventory things I need so that that they are ready when I have time and energy to spread it all out and go to work in my own little creative world. So I guess I can say that if I'm not arting or crafting, I'm plotting my next art and/or craft project!
Looking back on my digital library from this year I see how full the year truly was. I'm thankful for my husband and family. I know I can do anything with them by my side. I'm looking forward to 2007, we will have another graduation, more trips, I'm sure more trials, but I'm hopeful that things will all turn out well in the end as they did this year
My blogging year has been a fabulous one! I loved participating in all the groups most, especially flickr. It was fun sharing friday finds, trying new techniques at Try it Tuesdays, Sharing, creating, posting, creating some more, meeting others, visiting fabulous blogs, seeing artists personalities & heart through their creations. I'm now working on a list of art goals for 2007. There are lots of things I want to try and skills I want to improve. What are your art goals and dreams for this coming year? My husband tells me that I make lists that are too long to accomplish. I make them long anyway. That's just how I do it. I figure I eventually get to some or all of something. Writing something down commits me to it, it also reminds me. I hope to share my list soon. In the meantime, here's my 1 x 1" square collection. Aren't they cute. Oh, for the love of the square! Hope you try to make some too in 2007.
p.s. my husband told my mother in law, "lia makes squares", she looked at him like, what? I told her it was kind of a long story. Oh well, now I'm the wife who makes squares, but I'm happy, right! that's what's important! be back soon! ~Lia
