How to motivate myself

I was surfing the web this evening - probably a dangerous thing knowing my propensity to sign up for things.  And I found this: art every day month


I thought it might be a great way to motivate myself to do some art every day for 30 days.  It starts on Tuesday 1st November.   Why not join me in making art everyday throughout November.  And the best thing: It's free to sign up!

Why do I do it?

I expect you can guess what's coming.

Yes, yet again I have signed up to multiple online courses.  One Little Word with Ali Edwards at Big Picture Scrapbooking is a year long course which ticks along in the background.

It's a bit like when I shop at Michaels in Palm Bay.  I only spend a little each time I go ~ using the 50% off coupons, obviously, ~ but when I get to pack my case I realise I have bought quite a  bit. 

So with the online courses, each one comes up and I think, 'that sounds great' and I sign up.  Then at a point sometime later (like today!) I write down everything I have signed up for and find that I really, really have signed up to too many things.

And as regular readers know I am an A* pupil of Procrastination so I haven't actually started on any of them!

However I do have a good excuse this time.  On October 1st I went to San Diego for a week and then to Palm Bay, Florida for a week.

I'll treat you to some photos of my trip instead of any artwork!

An online course

You know how much I love online courses.  You know, all those courses I start and never finish.

Well here's another one.  You could sign up too!  Join me in starting a Divine Romance.


You can follow my progress with this course on my other blog.

Mr Random Generator

Who should I Pass the Book to?

Thanks for your comments for passing Art Saves to someone.   I asked my lovely husband to act as Mr Random Generator and he pulled out Carolyn's name. 


Congratulations.     I'll get it in the post to you as soon as possible.

31 days of October

I was hoping to take part in the '31 days of .... ' project.  However, as ever, things have escaped me.

But that doesn't stop you following along with it.  Go to the start and see where it leads you.  Happy Hunting.
