Ever since  the art world has opened up for me, I find myself being drawn in too many different directions.  There are just so many things I want to learn, I can’t seem to stay focused on any one of them long enough to really learn.  I want to draw, paint, collage, scrapbook, make greeting cards, learn beading and jewelry making, work with mosaics, altered objects like cigar boxes and old cans.  I have a little booth at the antique mall and need time to put into that project.  I want to make vintage looking signs out of old wood scraps.   I need to go to flea markets and estate sales to find more treasures to alter and put in my booth.  I want to learn more about photography and Photoshop.  I’ve only scratched the surface on most of these.   So, I’m taking a day off work today.  I’m going to go to the woods and walk and think and meditate and pray and make notes.  I need to narrow my focus to a couple of things and spend some in depth time and energy learning those before I move on to something else.  

I did work on some greeting cards over the weekend. Here are my first few.   I’d like to put a few in my booth to sell and maybe, MAYBE open up an Etsy shop.   We’ll see.

Spend some alone time if you can today.   Contemplate all that you have going on in your life and what feeds you and what drains you.  Make some changes if you need to.   Simplify your life.

Blessings of peace to you.
