Made some art postcards
cards made for 21 Secrets - still plenty of time to join!Painted my way through some nervous energy
Worked in my art journals (including the slow moving journal for The Sketchbook Project which is due, um, er, in 2 months time and I am almost half way through?)
Snapped pictures when I could (and not nearly enough to satisfy me)
And drove way too many miles back and forth to the veterinarian's office for a still ailing Moose dog (we are taking distance reiki, pixie dust, prayers, and whatever anyone has to offer to help him recover from some still unknown tummy trouble. Fingers crossed it - whatever it is - is making its way through or else he will need to go in and be scoped.)
No surprises, the greatest inspiration and the force that kept me going was a little munchkin who has become an Abba fan.
I actually am amazed by this review because from my perspective, life was spent hovering on the edges of panic. Guess a little Dancing Queen works better than any sedative and perhaps should be my new mantra?
Oh, and I am loving True Stories ecourse/prompts which is really rocking my journal writing and ideas for blog post. (Thanks Pen!) And Kim Klassen has just started a new session of her Skinny Mini workshop for Photoshop which has warp speeded forward light years me in terms of my skill level with textures and corrections. (I'm not sure if she is taking new students, but get your name on a list for the next time she offers it!)
I could use a dose of energy and inspiration, so please share the ups (and downs) of your week.
Thanks for the support ♥
love, Ms. Toad on her wild ride
What great taste Cowgirl has :)
ReplyDeleteI'm really enjoying True Stories too, although trailed off the last couple of prompts... Must. Do. Better. This. Week!
For me, I am feeling inspired by an old Oprah show (we get them like 6 months or so behind the US) all about eating more consciously. This is soemthing I have flirted with for a long time, but I actually got Cam to watch it with me this time, and he seems like he can be persuaded on this. So that excites and inspires me, cause amongst the e-courses and visualising myself as this creative artist, I quite fancy myself as a real foodie too ;)
Sending Moose lots of love and healing energy

My goodness so much going on! Poor Moose-dog -- well wishes coming your way.
ReplyDeleteI'd write more but now I'm just thinking about the darn Sketchbook. *sigh*

You have had an incredibly creative week, and once more I am amazed at your energy! You are the dancing queen for sure! Sorry to hear about Moose -- hope he is healing.
ReplyDeleteI am such an Abba fan! Cowgirl is on to something! Sometimes at work if I feel down I make a special mix on iTunes of songs that you can't possibly feel down when you listen to them, and I can't tell you how many times Abba has been in those mixes!
ReplyDeleteAnd most of all I wanted to say that I am going to put a prayer for your beautiful Moose dog in my prayer box tonight!
xoxoxo

great that you've got so much expressed through art, journalling and photography. Can I just say this week (already!) has been super tough (teen tough) and today I took down to the photographic studio in college with a friend or two and snapped away on my theme of stories and I feel so much better. art saves (at least for me!) :)
ReplyDeleteI am getting ready to post soon but going through the photo's. thanks for stopping by.
love your photography btw :0
