Busy, busy!!

I have been quite busy lately. T-ball started so we have been practicing as much as possible. I got involved with a "Save the Arts" program for LAUSD. Me and a couple of awesome moms are putting together a workshop at my son's school to make an fabric mixed media art book for our board member to show our support for her. We are trying to get a voice to help save the art program. I also did 3 more journal pages which I will post also. And the best thing of all I went to a class at Zinnia's in Pasadena and attended a class by Micheal DeMeng. His art is spooky and awesome.Busy is good, but boy is my house a mess!!!

My Art Journal Pages

These are some of the pages from my art journal. I haven't taken a picture of the latest page yet. I am not sure if I like it or not. It's really kind of boring.

Cover of my journal

I watched Teesha Moore's videos she posted on youtube. This is the cover of my journal.

Art Journal

Last year towards the end of the year I stumbled upon "A year in the life of an art journal" blog. I waited and waited for the new year to start so I could finally really get serious about doing an art journal. So far so good. I have even done a couple of my own pages between prompts. I am really enjoying myself. Now all I think about is my art journal. Which isn't good for the things on my to do list. I will post some pictures soon of what I have so far.(some pictures posted above)

So let me give you some information on the above mentioned blog. It works like this twice a month a art journal prompt is posted and the page that the host made is posted also. The host also posts why they selected that prompt and an technique to try if you want. Anything goes after that. So the prompts we have had so far are:
What? (as in what is holding you back)
Hope
Unknown
Silence

My other pages:
You are pretty everyday
Being bored is an insult to ones self

P.S. I haven't shared my blog with anyone which is kinda cool. It's like a little secret, my place to blab my chops with no response. Almost like talking to yourself:)

Beauty is all around, you just have to look at it.

Making myself crazy for nothing

My brain is on over load. I have too many things I want to get done. That always causes a problem for me. It ends up making me crazy and I get nothing done in the process. I do have 3 projects that need to get wrapped up ASAP. 1. Complete the scrapbook I started for my niece. I started it a year ago. I have fallen out of love with the project. 2. Complete the scrapbook for my God daughter. I am excited about this project, but keep dragging my feet. 3. Get my website up and running. My husband made me a web site so that I can sell my stuffed Cucuys. I need to make some and get them up on the site. Imagine my husband spent all his time making a web site for me and I haven't done anything with it.

Getting started

Getting started is hard sometimes, well at least for me. I can want to do something so bad and when the time comes I start to drag my feet. I am pretty sure that is because I think I am gonna suck at it. It's that little voice inside my head screaming "THEY"RE ALL GONNA LAUGH AT YOU". I am old enough not care if they are, but I still do. So that little voice always holds me back and makes things take so much longer to get to. So I am going to tune that voice out and go for it. Wish me luck!!
