ONLY 5 DAYS UNTIL CHRISTMAS...



Some things amaze me...the way time flies (whether you are having fun or not) is one of them. This year is ending FAST. Have you thought yet about your goals for next year? I am having a heck of a time wrapping my head around finding art shows and applying for them. It is a rough job for me..because I am one of those people that cannot plan in advance...I like having no committments, and you just can't do that and do shows. They want you to sign up in January for a show that is in Oct...How do I know what I'll be doing in OCT?? It's 10 months away..LOL..

I have just been trying out new things..different styles..I feel like it's time for a bit of change..not completely..but just a little..I am excited for 2011 to get here. I am defining my goals, and am ready for the next step up..whatever it may be..to take my art to the next level.

I got Nature Boy a new miter table saw for Christmas. He's already using it, as we don't really have Christmas with presents under the tree. We just go and buy stuff..and say it's for Christmas..LOL. Anyway..he was out there yesterday making me frames, and adding sides to my plywood for paintings..and generally playing with his newest man-toy...LOL.

Nothing much is going on..this will be my first Christmas without SHE WHO KNOWS EVERYTHING (my daughter), and I miss her terribly. She moved to Orlando at the first of the year, and is constantly working now..being all grown up and all. I am proud of her, but wish she lived closer by.

Well, that's about all...Kinda boring..Sorry...Live Artfully!

Time does fly... And I'm feeling the crunch (and actually avoiding it right now - hee hee)

Loving the idea of painting spring flowers to get rid of the snow blues (I totally share your feelings about the white stuff)!

Merry Christmas
Kristin

p.s. I bought my husband a table saw for Christmas :)

I don't think that post was boring at all, I thought it was sweet, the way you talked about your family. I wish I could buy my fiance a saw as it would keep framing costs down but I don't have a place for him to put it because we live in apartments. I'm sorry to hear about your daughter but it sounds like you raised her right :) Merry soon-to-be Christmas. Oh, I can't believe how quickly it showed up either. It's crazy.

Dear Suzan, I made a list of what I did this past year and what will be top of my list this coming year. I didn't publish my post, maybe just before the new year or maybe I will hold it just for me. lol Exploring with your art is good. I tried to do that last year & think I am still in that mode. I hope you have a lovely holiday & get to at least talk with your daughter on the phone~ It is harder when they live further away, I have one in NYC & I am in CA. Wishing you & yours a Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! Thanks for always inspiring me with your art through out the year!! ((hugs)) Theresa

Love your pieces!! I hear you about trying to get organized to do shows. And finding them is half the battle. Good luck!
Merry Christmas
