Since this is a new year and like many folks, I have taken on some new ventures for myself. One of which was to eat better…cleaner if you must say. I have been doing great so far! I have cut out all of the yucky processed foods like pop tarts and hot pockets! (that wasn't too difficult) I also have widdled my way down from sugar and into a "cleaner" form of sugar….Raw Honey! It's yummy! and better for my body since it is a natural form of sweetener. So…changes can be slow…but changes are happening and I like how I feel!
Moving on….
I joined in with an art class/group and it has been loads of fun! I have really gotten the hang of the "mixed media" and am really starting to like the journaling aspect of it. Each week, the head ladies give us a prompt and we are to go 'wherever the creative mind wanders'…and boy does mine wander! I have improved on my art in the 3 short weeks time we have been doing this and it's allowing me to add "sentimental" memories and get it all out into a sketchbook and not in my head or scattered all over my house! I was able to add old postcards, old love letters and 4 leaf clovers that I was saving for over the years. Now they are all compacted into the pages of my sketchpad! I hope that one day, the boys can look over my sketchpad and see all of my memories. On that note…here are a few pics….
…simple sketches make a big impact sometimes..
…this was my motto for my night.. the teabag told me so! :)
