I’ve been working on learning to paint. Here’s my first painting following on online instructor vs a live class.
It didn’t really turn out like the sample, but hey, I’m new…

I finished an object! Now to do the leg warmers so I can be a proper ballerina…
I’ll admit, Carol wears it better, but hey, it’s nearly 10 pm and I’ve been up since 4:30 am this and I’m not at my best.
02 SepThe beginning of the end…
Time goes by in the blink of the eye as they say. I’ve been told I missed the last couple of years. Have a great first day of junior year Grae! And Andrew and Jacob, you’ve finally made it … Freshman year for the twins.
I can’t believe it.

21 MarOne good thing…
So, I cleaned my room recently as part of a 91 day declutter challenge. It looks awesome by-the-way, I highly recommend deep cleaning your room. Well, as part of that I decided it was time to read and get rid of that ginormous stack of magazines I’ve been hoarding since 2006 (yes, that’s right, 2006 – don’t judge).
There are two important things to note 1) nursing homes like old magazines – don’t toss/recycle them, see if your local nursing home can use them; and 2) I really had good magazines. Lots of great ideas, recipes, tips, articles…. Why didn’t I read these sooner?
Now, for the good thing! In looking through the Christmas issues, I’m reminded that the holidays are a mere 8 months away. This year is going to be different.
I am putting it out here as a reminder to myself that the present plan this year is going to follow the rule of 4: Want, Need, Wear, Read.
If I start now, I can knock out the gifts without going broke like I do every year.
