Here are some photos from this week. Not too many this time around: This week has been all about cardboard boxes.
One time machines as they’re called in our house.
Nathaniel’s been creating collages at school.
funny faces during photos.
Nathaniel always gets super-excited.
and makes us laugh out loud.
and some tickling.
extra love for daddy who’s leaving town for work.
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: rest your body and soul today. SixBySix is a weekly project for 2013. You can see a detailed post on my goal and other details here.
I keep meaning to write here but then the days have been so long that, by evening time, I find myself too tired to put together any cohesive thoughts. So I keep postponing it again and again. I figured having some post might still be better than a super-cohesive one, so here we go. A little list of what’s going on here, in no particular order:
I could probably write more but I have a coaching client in 12 minutes and I need to have some dinner before then. I hope maybe you can share some of what you’ve been up to as well. Here’s this week’s card :
It says: music is food for the soul. 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 March for book club, too. It’s been on my list to read this book for a long, long time. I am not usually a fan of historical fiction and even though I wanted to read it, I kind of thought this would be a hard read. It was not at all. I sat and read it in two days. There was something about it that pulled me in and I just wanted to keep reading. I think Geraldine Brooks’ storytelling was beautiful and I loved remembering Little Women which I really should reread at this point. If historical fiction is your genre or you liked the Little Women, you might like this one. Here’s this week’s gratitudes and celebrations: Before (sorry for the crappy photos this time, i tried quite a few times but the camera wasn’t accommodating.):

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.

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?
