Another year begins

 

Where did 2014 go?

We all pretty much think and say that

every year, right?

And as the New Year begins,

I always, always, promise myself

to play closer attention

to make each day/moment matter

to love as big as I possibly can

to truly make joy my compass

and the lists I make are endless.

partly because I just love making lists

and partly because if I actually write it

there is a chance it will seep into my core

and become a reality.

That is my thought, anyhow.

What I DO know is that my word

for this year

is

CREATE

If it could be longer than one word

(and it CAN be since I am making the statement to myself)

it would more likely be:

Return to your joy of creating.
 

I had set my papers, paints, stamps,
brushes, etc.
 

aside for several years....
 

and the only creative outlet was photographing

my Blythe girls

My current Blythe family

My third attempt at customizing

A Petite Wanderling Custom - a dream come true

 

and my tiny mouse

 

with an occasional capture of Luli,

the 4lb wonder that rules the house.

Aside from that it was work, work, work
...now an hour's commute each way
compared to the 10 minute commute
 of 8 years...

which led to the necessity of purchasing this

2015 Toyota Prius Hybrid

and only the basic household chores
and that's about it.

But I have had the longing
to play with paints
and stamps
and paper

on canvas...

or make paper dolls

and art cards

....all the things I love doing.
Things that bring me such fulfillment
and a certain peace

So that is my promise to myself
to return to something I love
and

CREATE
