Cathy Bluteau Art Class for $5.00!! Hurry!

This is pretty unbelievable, but it's true. Cathy Bluteau is offering the class she taught in 21 Secrets for $5.00!! She's just extended her offer to 1/31/13. If you don't take advantage of this, you really need your head examined.

I joined 21 Secrets in 2013 and Cathy's class was one of my favorites! Every time I look at this page I'm amazed that I made it. I love it. I love Cathy. And you will too!

Biting off more than I can chew

No wonder I can't get anything done! I have so much going on that I don't know what to do next. I take too many classes for one thing. I'm not finished with one when I sign up for another. And do I finish all the classes I sign up for? No. But I watch all the videos and think about all the things I'm going to do!

Christy Sobelewski has a new class that I want to take, 30 pages in 90 days. I'm ready to sign up for it, but I know I'll never finish the classes I have going on now if I do. And even though I'll have a whole year to finish Christy's class, I'll get side tracked by the other unfinished classes, and nothing will get done. I have classes in 21 Secrets to do yet, a class with Cathy Bluteau that I just started, Cotton Candy Girls which remains unfinished, a Junelle Jacobson class that I think I'm running out of time on, and against my own better judgment I started ICAD! Stop the madness!!

I can't do them all at once and I know it! Back in March, I wrote "No More Classes in 2013" in one of my journals...hahahaha. But then something happens, like I buy a cheap sewing machine and take the Remains of the Day class! Did I make a journal? No. Have I used the sewing machine....? No.

I know there are other classes. I just don't remember them at the moment.

I used to do swaps. I loved swaps. I spend too much money when I swap.

I think I'm a video addict but I can't be sure it's a real disease. I know my addiction to Facebook is real. I bought a Kindle so I could take FB with me wherever I go. It frustrates me so I don't use it much.

These are the problems I face each day. Let me tell you, retirement isn't easy.

I wonder if I still have time to sign up for Christy's class?

30 Days without Journalling

My attempts to post on this blog have failed miserably. I haven't published anything since February, started to blog in March but never finished, and now it's April. I'm so (not) ashamed of myself. I'm just not a dependable blogger, even though I want to be one. I also want to be an artist and be 5'4" but that ain't happening either. ;)

I finished The A to Z of Me class in February and haven't journaled a thing since! Guess I needed a break between that and the 21 Secrets class that started April 1st! I'm very excited about 21 Secrets and will no doubt be kept very busy! Hope I can blog every now and then and show what I'm doing. I've only completed one page out of four "secrets". Some techniques I'm already aware of and have used them in the past, so I'm not journaling along with each one. I have 18 classes (courses?) left and I'm sure I'll be working along with most of them!

This is such an excellent program and I'd encourage anyone to sign up if you still can. If not, maybe next year, but don't miss out on this. You get SO Much knowledge at an unbelievably low rate. You can pick and choose from 21 different artists or attend all of them, it's up to you, (and why I've only completed one page out of four classes!). Do it! Sign up now! You'll have until the end of the year to complete the entire program. 21 Secrets

In March, I joined an altered cigar box swap at Your Paper Pantry, and Loved playing with that box! My partner was Cari Masciangioli who wanted a black and white box, and I was most happy to oblige. I really enjoyed making this.

I also tried my hand at another mixed media mosaic. I adhered bits and pieces to the cover of a bolsa box from Michaels. I'm liking this too, but I still need to spray it! I ordered some Lindy's Stamp Gang sprays and have yet to open the package! That'll be next, promise! But as usual, when I have something I need to do, I always end up reorganizing my room instead of working in it!

See you Soon with a new Inspiration or two!

I have 21 Secrets!

Yes, I do, and they're so secret that I don't even know what they are!

I've been feeling a bit UNcreative lately, at least on paper.  I can still shop and reorganize my craft space ten times a week, but I'm just not finishing any journal pages right now.   I'm not finishing any projects either and I have a few of those around here too.  Blah.  That's what it feels like, which says to me it's time to re-fuel, tune-up, change the oil and start the engines all over!  Yeah!  It's time for another Class!

Whooohooo! 21 Secrets has arrived again with all new instructors and new secrets, so I've thrown my hat in (or rather my $59) and signed up!  The only problem is that it doesn't start until April!  o.....m.....g.   What to do in the interim?  Hmmm, I could finish the Wild Abandonment class I started, yep, that sounds like a plan.   And then in February I can join Bernice Hopper in her A to Z of Me. I saw what she did with her last group and I really liked it. So that should keep me busy for a while as I never seem to finish anything with a group. I'm usually lagging behind by a few days, or more, maybe even a month, maybe....ok, not going there.

There you have it. I've absolutely no plans for this week. What about you?
