DITCH YOUR RESOLUTIONS DAY!

As I was trying to think of the many things to celebrate today I came across a very special holiday for today.

It appears that today is the Official Ditch Your Resolutions Day. Just like January 1st celebrates making resolutions for the new year today's the day to ditch those resolutions. Yes, January 17th is Ditch Your Resolutions Day.

I have learned from making resolutions that January first for me just doesn't work as a day I want to take on all the responsibility attributed to resolutions. I would much rather set my resolutions/goals through out the year.

For many people January 1st was the the day to take on those resolutions. I am sure there are many out there that are well on their way to accomplishing their New Years resolutions. Maybe, you have even accomplished some of the things you have set out to do. For you congratulations.

For many, the resolutions have already been broken. Maybe, they weren't a good idea in the first place.

So January 17, Ditch Your Resolution Day is the perfect holiday to celebrate. Breath a sigh of relief and Ditch those resolutions.  It's okay ditch them today...

Who knows, there is probably a holiday called Resolution Do Over Day.

JACK SAYS,

HERE'S TO THE END OF THE SEASONAL FRENZY AND TO

THE MAJESTIC CALM OF THE DAY.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christmas weaves a magic wand over this world, and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful. -Norman Vincent Peale

"There are only so many tomorrows...

"WHAT CAN YOU DO-DO WHAT YOU CAN."

Today is Christmas and what a beautiful blessed day it is. The purpose of life is to discover your gift...The meaning of life a gift is to give your gift away.

ASK YOURSELF

What is your plan to do with your one wild and precious life?

Zentangle

You may immediately think doodle but you must admit the name Zentangle sounds a bit more artsy. So, what is Zentangle? Zentangle is a method of creating images and imaginative patterns. You draw one line at a time until beatiful patterns appear. Sometimes called yoga for the brain.

Zentangles are just another way to create and do. The cost factor and supplies are minimal. No messt clean up and it's very potable art form. No messy cleanup. I find it as a way to relax and feel a since of accomplishment after each Zentangle I create.

So why not try it. They are fun to make and each piece is unique. Once you do one you're drawn in to do another and another and another. So grab your pen and zentangle. looking for more info hit the internet highway and look up Zentangle.

To all our servicemen and women who have served and are now serving, May you have a safe holiday.

Words To Live By

One of my daughters sent this to add a smile to my day so I am posting this hoping that it makes one more person smile.



WORDS TO LIVE BY...

1Aspire to be Barbie - the bitch has everything.

2. If the shoe fits - buy them in every color.
3. Take life with a pinch of salt.... A wedge of lime, and a shot of tequila.
4. In need of a support group? - Cocktail hour with the girls!
5. Go on the 30 day diet. (I'm on it and so far I've lost 15 days).
6. When life gets you down - just put on your big girl panties and deal with it.
7. Let your greatest fear be that there is no PMS and this is just your personality.
8. I know I'm in my own little world, but it's ok. They know me here.
9. Lead me not into temptation, I can find it myself.
10. Don't get your knickers in a knot; it solves nothing and makes you walk funny.
11. When life gives you lemons - turn it into lemonade then mix it with vodka.
12. Remember where ever there is a good looking; sweet, single or married man there is some woman tired of his bullshit!
13. Keep your chin up, only the first 40 years of parenthood are the hardest.
14. If it has Tires or Testicles it's gonna give you trouble.
15। By the time a woman realizes her mother was right, she has a daughter who thinks she's wrong.


'Good friends are like stars..........You don't always see them, but you know they are always there' 'Remember yesterday, dream about tomorrow, but live for today'. Now smile and send to any girl wasting time at work, suffering from a hangover, or just suffering from life , that might need a reason to smile!

WIP-WORKS IN PROGRESS

Sunday afternoon and some personal time to just play. An afternoon to release some creativity. Only to end the afternoon with 2-WIP.

I started out with this plain piece of wood. I had this vision in my mind --but some how the vision has not yet materialized into a finished project. Hence a WIPMy second project was just to started with just wanting to use the peeling paint technique on something. I started with the layers:canvas, old dictionary pages, picture of Rosa Parks, acrylic paint, Vaseline to create the peeling effect and voila' a WIP.

Right now as you can see nothing is completed but it is oh so close and it was a fun way to spend a Sunday afternoon.

INSPIRATION BASKETS

If only Inspiration was as simple as altering a basket and calling it your Inspiration Basket. There is a plus to having a basket it you can use it to hold items that inspire inspiration for other projects.
