This was made from stuff I had in my scrap bucket. I’m trying to back to making art but sometimes I feel as if I’m trying too hard. Maybe I just need to let it happen.

He lost his tuxedo…so my 8yr old found this ensemble for him.
***I must apologize in advance to all the die-hard Barbie/Ken fans out there.***
It is kind of amusing though….in a weird 80’s glam rock sort of way….
I just realized that I published my Friday Freebie…on Thursday. That’s what happens when I try to get ahead for once…I mess it up.
Here’s today’s freebie. Or you could just scroll down. :)
I’m trying to get back into my groove after the Holiday’s.
So far this postcard is all I have to show for my efforts.
Running a little behind today…I had to fill in at the school library.
While I was out I stopped by my PO Box and found a wonderful piece of Mail Art from Linda.
The packaging is outstanding! I sat and savored it with my tea before opening.
Linda is so sweet…I left a comment on her blog a while back saying how much I loved the mail art she had received.
She emailed me and asked for my address so she could send me some mail art too!
Inside I found these wonderful bits of ephemera and an ATC.
I never expected such an awesome piece of mail art with little gifties inside as well!
Thanks so much Linda!

After going through last years goals and what I accomplished, I feel it’s important for me to set some new goals for 2011.
ART:
- List at least one thing a week in my etsy store.
- Finish our vacation scrapbook
- knit or crochet one project using proper directions (something I really struggle with)
- Improve my photography skill
LIFE:
- return to our healthy eating regimen
- workout 3 times a week
- weekly family board game night with full media blackout
- keep a journal
Last year I set some goals for myself so I figured I had better fess up and see what I actually accomplished.
I’m rating myself with a stoplight system for lack of a better way.
This is my 2010 list:
ART:
- learn to knit –-Need more practice but have the concept down
- use the supplies I have instead of buying new –-only purchased garage sale/thrift store supplies
- finish my circles quilt –DONE
- open an Etsy shop –open, stocked and have made 2 sales!
- complete my Nature altered book –not yet but am getting closer
- Be Creative Every Day –-it’s not always art but I feel I do something creative most days
SELF:
- get back to eating healthy –the holidays have been a set back
- get back to my exercise routine –not at the level I want to be…goal needs to continue for sure.
HOME:
- paint the kitchen cupboards –nope
- plant more veggies –Yes..will plant more next year
- de-cluttter in prep for a monster garage sale –YES! huge sale
- repurpose and recycle more –hard to measure this one but I think I have
I must be a glass half-full kind of person because I see the goals that I haven’t quite met not as failures as some would but as stairs I have climbed on my way to the goal.
Over all I’m glad I made this list. Obviously, I didn’t do everything I wanted to but really…who does? I’m going to think about my goals for 2011 now. I think accountability is a great motivator.
