It feels like forever since I've done anything creative and my paints have been in storage for over 6 months now. Getting all of my art supplies out again is one of the things I'm looking forward to most in my upcoming house move. To get some respite from all of the moving crazy, I did manage to squeeze in a quick class at the weekend though:)</div>

We made one of those wood farmhouse-type signs that you see everywhere. I was intrigued to find out how the lettering is done and really happy with how mine came out. The ladies in my class were very sweet too which was a bonus. I'm so looking forward to life getting back to normal:)</div>

What's left is packed up in the garage but if I wait until we are moved into our destination home, I fear I will have an even harder to get back into the habit of being creative on a regular basis. So to fill the gap for now, I have bought a sketch pad and pencils. I started playing with them last night and had really bad results:( It's been a very long time...but practice makes perfect so I'm going to keep trying until I have something I'm happy with. For now, at least I'm getting started:)The Early familyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09757973711497981468noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4994436781180998751.post-13259462411709088902017-04-02T22:17:00.000-04:002017-04-02T22:17:21.878-04:00Baby CardThis is one of the happiest cards I've made!

Half of the battle seemed to be getting organized so I took care of sorting out all of my supplies and signed up for Donna Downey's Inspiration Wednesday class which (so far) I've managed to stay on top of. She is encouraging us to be more 'painterly' which is definitely a challenge for me...<br />

She has such a tough curriculum in her Junior year - I'm so thrilled she has found joy by connecting with her inner artist.<br />

My book has gotten really chunky already though so I have decided to divide the year into two and start a new one for July-Dec. Now that I think about it, it will be an excellent opportunity to refocus on my goals for 2015 and start over on some of those too!<br />

I'm so grateful for this class - now I'm back in the habit of doing something creative almost every day! It feels great and I'm feeling much more 'myself' these days. Thank you Donna Downey and my amazing classmates:) <br />

I picked 'bravery' as my word for 2015. I have so many goals and dreams for my life and I really want to focus on being more brave :). It felt great to express myself through art and capture it in my Inspiration Journal :)<br />

I'm so excited that 2015 is finally here and I can take some time to focus on re-balancing my life:) I'm determined to get more creative in 2015 - I miss it so much - so I've signed up for photography classes and I've also signed up for the amazing Donna Downey's Inspiration Wednesday classes (Donna's blog <a href="http://www.donnadowney.typepad.com/">here!</a>).<br />

Some structure will really help me put time aside to invest in my creative journey and Donna has always been such a positive catalyst for me. I'm excited.

To make one you need about 100 plain white diapers, ribbon, a cake board, cake dowels to stabilize the whole thing and lots of elastic bands. Oh and about 4-5 hours and lot of patience :)<br />

Once you are done with construction, you can cover the elastic bands with ribbons and hair accessories and some fun turrets and flags...<br />

Her blog is jam-packed full of creative inspiration (link <a href="http://www.alisaburke.blogspot.com/">here</a>!) and I was lucky enough to attend one of her classes a couple of years ago and she's a really nice person too :). She did a fantastic post this year linking past pumpkin tutorials (link <a href="http://alisaburke.blogspot.com/2013/10/frida-inspired-pumpkin.html">here</a>!) and they are all so totally gorgeous! I really like the idea of a pumpkin that lasts a bit longer than just for Halloween so I painted one this year and I'm going to see how long it survives as a table decoration outside. <br />

I love my piece and the experience was really rewarding and liberating. I can't wait to try this out with Madison and it's a great way to repurpose old canvases too :)</div>

This class was really different and I got to try out a whole new medium. PanPastels will definitely be something I'll work with again. I love how they blend and the colors are so vibrant...</div>

Thank you to my family for making arrangements to make sure that I could be there and get my creative fill. And of course to the amazing Donna for being a constant source of inspiration :)</div>
