I was too embarrassed to actually submit my blog name for Art Every Day Month 2008. I much prefer to stay out of the spotlight and just do my thing. I’m in awe when I see the kinds of things the others create and pretty much feel like the poor relative living [...]

Art Every…… so often?…. Month
I’m going to stop joining these once-a-day-for-a-month things! Every time I try crazy things happen. This time Princess (14) fell and twisted her ankle badly at her first basketball game and my sister ended up in the hospital.

Art Every Day #9

Tomorrow I will do something, [...]

Art Every Day #3 and #4
Yesterday I dusted off the art shelves and took an inventory of the supplies. I’ve been suffering from depression off and on since we moved here three years ago and I’ve hardly used anything. Of course, my dd(10) is not only our resident artist, she’s also a supply hog. Things have a [...]

Art Every Day #1
The first day of Art Every Day Month 2008 turned out to be a beautifully warm and sunny fall day. Hard to stay inside!
On my first day of my first attempt to do something this radical for me (I don’t even have the courage to send a link to my blog to the lady [...]

Art Every Day Month 2008
I have decided to commit to Art Every Day Month 2008 which starts (eek!) tomorrow, November 1st. I’m probably more suited to NaNoWriMo, but my kind of writing is more along the lines of short, non-fiction pieces and the thought of attempting to write a novel in a year, let alone a month, is enough [...]
