dreaming of being free

6 months left of work . . . counting down the days to freedom! Next will be the minutes:)

Blog Identity Crisis

Anyone ever change their blog template so much that you just get confused about what you really want your blog to look like? That would be my blog. Ever since I discovered free blog templates, I have been having lots of fun changing the look of my blog. So probably the next time you check back, it will look completely different until I find the right template.

Lazy Sunday

Just enjoying a lazy Sunday in the art room.

A New Travel Journal

My friend had a great idea to each create travel journals and swap each month. This is travel journal #3. The last one was so full that the back cover fell off. I recommend this idea to anyone that is separated by distance from their close friends. I feel like it has kept us connected in ways that email, texting, or phone calls never would have & we have keepsakes for years to come.

Spontaneous Journaling

I love when I go into my art room with no plan and just start working in my art journal. That's what I did with this journal entry. The finished product is a little crazy, but when I look back at my old journals I see symbolism or notice things that I didn't see at the time so give it a try have no plan and just start creating & see what happens!

3 day weekends:)

I love three day weekends. It makes my top 10 list of things that make me happy. What makes your top 10 list?

Happy Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day, I can't think of anything more fitting to blog about than my daughter goofing around before she attended her 8th grade Valentine's dance. She said, "I'm so excited and nervous at the same time". Hope your Valentine's is as exciting as it was for my 8th grader:)
