Just another excuse to create art and remember the present that is my life. Gratitude Journal is a weekly project for 2013. You can see a detailed post on my goal other details here.Gratitude Journal – Week 39
Here are some photos from this week. Not too many this time around: Jake’s cousin came to visit us with her daughter and we took the opportunity to snap some shots.
One more of us.
then it was family photo time.
i love that even if I take no photos all week, I still have these I can count on.
I love looking at them and seeing how much the kids have grown over the three years we’ve been doing this.
we love plants vs zombies number two!
and some tickling.
and here we go. so grateful for my life. i hope your week was lovely, too. Weekly Diary is a project for 2013. You can read more about it here. Before this week’s art here’s the important reminder: Please remember, this is personal and hand-made and thus imperfect. If you want perfect art, do not buy mine. Also one more reminder that these are pretty small. 5.5inches by 5.5inches. That’s about 14×14 centimeters). You will just get the original piece of watercolor paper with my art and signature in the back. No mounting, no frame. I don’t want to misrepresent anything. I will put a paypal button under each (you can pay with credit card or paypal.) the button doesn’t update so you will have to click through to see if it’s sold out. I will try to update them as quickly as I can and remove the button if it’s gone, but just in case. Each piece will be $35. That’s US dollars. If you have questions please leave a comment and I will reply as fast as I can. With that here’s this week’s art:
it reads: you have to let go of one thing to find another.

I read Where’d You Go Bernadette for book club, too. And I will say, I am not a chick lit person. I mean I was but I think I read a lot of them at some point and they all started resembling each other so I grew sick of it. (Same thing happened for John Grisham, too) So I wasn’t even sure I wanted to read this book. And when I started it, I liked it even less. But then I kept reading it and I couldn’t put it down. I just kept wanting to read more and more. I really liked Bee and Bernadette. In the end, I am glad I read it. My goal for 2013 is to make three sketches a week. If I make more, great. If I don’t, that’s ok. Trying to keep the pressure low while still encouraging myself to draw. my one sketch:
that’s it for this week. i have given myself permission to do just one. so be it. Sketching is a weekly project for 2013. You can see a detailed post on my sketching journey here.
As I was doing my Life Organizer prompts this week, there was a question about life insights. I couldn’t remember what she referred to so I had to go back and reread the section. And then I realized I had never read it. One of the things she recommends is to go on a search and create a list of my life insights. I love this idea so I immediately jotted some down:
These are just some of mine. I will be thinking of more for the next week. I love the idea of having this insight list. Sort of like personal commandments but slightly different context. What are some of your life insights?

Here are some photos from this week: We decided it would be fun to go to the Chabot Space and Science Center but all the photos are pretty low quality because there was pretty much no light in there.
David experiencing the work astronauts have to do.
reading the instructions.
what it feels like at no gravity.
my little astronaut.
they also had some tables where high school kids teach you about different science concepts. This one was about pigments and ultraviolet light.
they really liked this part.
david was very curious.
and of course Nathaniel too.
David at no gravity, too.

I love all of these photos so much.
Just seeing the whole family together is lovely and reminds me how lucky I am.

It says: capture the joy in everyday moments. This card uses a template from The Crafter’s Workshop (as well as a few others.) and acrylic paint. Gratitude PostCards is a weekly project for 2013. You can see a detailed post on my goal and the postcards I use here.
I read Seating Arrangements for book club. I had heard about the book and wanted to read it. For some reason I thought it would be a slow read but it wasn’t so at all. I read it in two days and I felt like the story flowed very well. Maybe cause Jake’s from New England, I thought that I understood the kind of people the characters were and could feel some connection to the story. But I am not sure how much I liked it. I mean I didn’t dislike it, I just don’t feel hugely connected to it. Considering how many wonderful books there are to read, this wouldn’t go on the top of my list. |
