Whoa!

I just got a call from the Art center that hosts the art shows I have done around here-they have a gallery there too and art classes, etc.Anyway, they want me to do a "program" and a workshop! eek!!!! I guess the program is where I take a bunch of my art for display and talk about how I do it, etc. Then the workshop would be like 6 hours and teach them about how I do my artwork. I told them I would get back to them next week......told them I need to work out things in my head, how I would do it. Its kinda scary-great opportunity though! I am flattered they asked. I will probably do it........It would probably be good for me.
Since I have been so creatively dry, since the call I have actually felt a bit of a "jumpstart."
So, that could be a good thing! I would have plenty of time.......until February!

blah

I know I've been quiet............I am still here. Other than my sprained ankle, I am doing great. I sprained it yesterday so I am trying to keep off it. The past month or so has been just blah-I have felt little creativity at all. Probably because pretty much last month my whole family was sick and they sucked my muse right out of me. I guess you could say I am just taking a little break! I have also had some personal struggles that I am trying to work out. One of them is with Gillian-I am going through some phases lately where I am just worn out from all she requires. She has also been very defiant lately and it has been difficult. Luckily I have a friend who is also an aid in her class who has been taking her home after school one day per week for an extra few hours to give me a break. That is SO nice of her. This week I won't get that as she will be out of town and I am sort of bummed, but nothing I can do about it so I am not worried. Also have some issues going on at my church-bottom line is I am just questioning things and I have always felt out of place there, which I truly do not believe is the way to feel-I think it should be a place of positivity. I am finding its causing me more harm than good, really. It really bums me out :( My huband is very active there so I have to be cautious of how I do things as I don't want it to hurt my marriage at all. So, I guess I just have alot on my mind. I am still chugging along........its not like I am sitting around crying my eyes out or anything like that, I am just sort of keeping myself busy doing other things. My mom thinks I am just burned out on everything. I guess it can get that way after you go-go-go all the time like I do.

Playing with new stamps

I have been eyeing these stamps from Artistic Outpost for months, so I finally gave in and got some. I was able to make an ATC with them today. Isn't she adorable?

See It, Say It Saturday on ZNE-My response

Today on "See it Say It Saturday" I responded to this wonderful piece by Jan Whittle, titled "Another Country (the piece to the left here)."

I did a journal page in response to this piece. My Piece is above. Looking at Jan's piece made me think of the different culture of the focal point, so that is what I based my journal page on.
