<br />
After a lot of thought my word for 2016 has finally been chosen. My word will be RESTORE. Life for me these past 2 years has been a roller coaster of ups and downs. You ever feel like when you take one step forward, life pushes you two steps back. Well that has been my life these past years. My energy, motivation, and body have been destroyed. Oh and my home, totally neglected.<br />
<br />
So now that I am just about close to recovering from all my foot surgeries, I am ready to begin to RESTORE Me to be even better then I was when this all started. <br />
<br />
I have made a list of some intentions that I will be focusing on for my OLW this year:<br />
<br />
<b>Restore My Body:</b><br />
<br />
<ul>
<li>I want more energy. I am going to start exercising as this always gave me the energy I needed.</li>
<li>I want to feel and look better. Get rid of the mid section rolls. Start focusing on what I am eating and make sure it is clean. </li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Restore My Home:</b></div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I want to de-clutter! So I am going to purge what I haven't touched in years. </li>
<li>I want to get organized. Put some order in my life so I can feel lighter.</li>
<li>I want to move into my new Studio.</li>
</ul>
<div>
<b>Restore My Soul:</b></div>
</div>
<div>
<ul>
<li>I want to finish the classes I bought last year and try and not take any new ones until they are completed.</li>
<li>I want to remind myself to have self control and not be tempted to take all the new classes and buy all the new art supplies. </li>
<li>Develop a Mornings Pages routine to help clear my head.</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
My life may have been headed down hill when I turned 50, but this year I am going to RESTORE it back. I am back in the game and ready to get it back the way it use to be or even better!<br />
<br />
What's the story behind your One Little Word for this year?<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
</div>
My year in 2015 started out with my word "Release" and 4 goals. This was the year I needed to get my life back in order after a fall on Mother's Day 2014 that but me out and turned my life upside down. The stress of not being able to be independent, no exercise which has always been my stress relief from work and home. January was awesome lost 13 lbs and was feeling amazing. One problem pain in my left foot continued so I went for second opinion and MRI turns up a broken bone not treated and extreme internal joint damage. Surgery required and so 2015 turned into one of the toughest years to focus on my goals and word. Three surgerys in 2015 and I am still off my feet trying really hard to stay positive for a better 2016.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So hear are some of the highlights from 2015 and things that I am grateful for. </div>

My first hand pieced quilt top Berries and Bears by Cindy Blackberg finally comes to a finish and it's time for me to take on the hand quilting.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have always admired quilts that have been made 100% by hand. After attending Cindy Blackberg class back in February 2014 I was hooked on hand piecing and fell in love. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now it's time for the next step to quilt the top by hand too. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Things I am learning really fast are:</div>
<div>
1. Not as easy as it looks</div>
<div>
2. Fingers get really raw and sore. </div>
<div>
3. Keep air down low if you are getting hot flashes </div>
<div>
4. Dogs can't wait till you are done to get under your quilt!!</div>
<div>

<br /></div>
That's dreaming about going back to those younger years and playing with my Paper dolls again. Well thanks to Julie Nuttings we can play with paper dolls again.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I had the pleasure of getting to take a class with Julie over at Everything Scrapbook and Stamps last month. I took two classes. The first class we used her amoir tags. Loved the size of the Tags and how you can open the doors and hide words inside. </div>
<div>

<br /></div>
<div>
The second class was a banner class. Perfect for hanging in my studio. Another cool option for the banners Julie shared was to use them to decorate a gift bag. </div>

It's my night to hang out with local art journal junkies like my self. The best part Michelle always surprises us with another cool technique. We have been meeting for several years now and she still teaches us something new. For $10 a month its well worth it! If you local try it out. She offer's the class 3 times a month.<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
Now here is a peek at my page in progress.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
First we started with book paper then washed the page with watered down gesso. </div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBQMRH5uA-qeteC3W1ZOAJEbMwhadiXni8I1xbWq8T8yAQsm5v1l_0xxmysbHyxCBhwaB3ErM-OuXWGr3XNqKBWKmal2DDR7Vi03v7WhuqGKMRdNOKzubutl9dI2t21hVzyQVFxN2JtWIP/s640/blogger-image-2082041960.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBQMRH5uA-qeteC3W1ZOAJEbMwhadiXni8I1xbWq8T8yAQsm5v1l_0xxmysbHyxCBhwaB3ErM-OuXWGr3XNqKBWKmal2DDR7Vi03v7WhuqGKMRdNOKzubutl9dI2t21hVzyQVFxN2JtWIP/s400/blogger-image-2082041960.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then we added some Tim Holtz paint and added some thick guess to the bottom of the page and sprayed some paint into the gesso and with a knife added texture and drips. </div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5kQ4tDLd9ehPnqF4UxGaa0wpgkId3Xq0Gjl6QTL-S_5mSEZ97UBT7fPqLFeOQJV9JwG1rKnSIg9AYl7j9MuJe9ae2mfeQrrNv3NfSh8UdvgouA0BwnVMEfMlByYdFiTsr4Y3QtbofB5Jc/s640/blogger-image-158184426.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi5kQ4tDLd9ehPnqF4UxGaa0wpgkId3Xq0Gjl6QTL-S_5mSEZ97UBT7fPqLFeOQJV9JwG1rKnSIg9AYl7j9MuJe9ae2mfeQrrNv3NfSh8UdvgouA0BwnVMEfMlByYdFiTsr4Y3QtbofB5Jc/s400/blogger-image-158184426.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After lengthy drying time we stamped and used stencils to finish off the page. </div>
<div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<br /></div>
<div>
I thought it reminded me of bubbles of thoughts running around in my head. So I added my word FOCUS -listen to your inner voice!! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Perfect for my DLP challenge for this week.

Despite my inability to walk for the next 2 weeks as I recover from foot surgery nothing could keep me away from attending Art Journaling night at Everything scrapbook and Stamps. Michelle always has great techniques to teach us and we have the chance to use art medium we may have not played with before. Of course, I usually fall in love and have to take some home. Love that store as her supply of Art supplies is awesome. Never have to wait for the postman to drop my art supplies.<br />
<div>
This weeks page was made with Dina Wakley paint, stencil and stamp! </div>

We spent 3 days at ESS in Lake Worth,Florida learning to paint over a photo image making it look as though we painted it from scratch. Then take bits of fabric, lace and fibers to make signature wraps. We painted our pages with paint washes and created texture using things like combs. </div>
<div>
Here some work in progress sneak peaks...<br />

We both have so many ideas running through our heads and decided this year we would get them done. </div>

We have a few finishing touches we will add to them but just couldn't wait to share. </div>

Amazing how we set all these goals and expectations each year and then life gets busy and things just spiral out of control or time just flies by and before you now it the year is over.<br />
<br />
Oh well guess that's life. Having fun today spending the day looking back at all I have done and realized that I have accomplished a lot this year. May not have had the opportunity to blog about it, but can honestly say I did make progress and looking forward to another year to continue my intentions for 2014.<br />
<br />
Let's review some of the highlights of my year in 2013.<br />
<br />
<b>My Creative Intention was to spread my wings and try new things as well as continue to take classes to improve my art and improve my art journals.</b><br />
<br />
Here's how I did:<br />
<u>Big Picture OLW </u>- My word CHOOSE was perfect, as I may have not followed on with the monthly projects (actually lost track around April) I still carried the word around in my head and continued to try and remind my self to CHOOSE.<br />
<u>Facebook Calendar Challenge</u> - Kept up with this project 10 of the 12 months. Of course July my vacation month and December well you know Holiday stress gets me every year!<br />
<u>Dina Wakley </u>- Learned to draw faces<br />
<u>Brave Girl Art School Wings</u> - Taught me that I can fly no matter what<br />
<u>Brave Girl Soul Comfort</u> - Brought out the joy of stitching in me again. Really loved being able to stitch on the couch in the evening while spending time next to my husband who likes to relax after work and watch TV.<br />
<u>Robin Marie Smith</u> - Mail Art classes. Loved how you incorporate your art into mail. Makes receiving mail more fun!<br />
<u>Nellie Wortman</u> - Creative Workshop Altered Fabric Book - Really stepped out of my comfort zone and created 2 altered Fabric books entering them into my Quilting Guilds yearly challenge. Received my 1st ribbon for participation and not sorry I didn't win, because I get to keep my books.<br />
<br />
<b>My Life Intentions was tied to my OLW 2013 - CHOOSE as I really needed to work on being happy, having gratitude, spending time with those I love, being more healthy and make me a priority.</b><br />
<br />
As I sat down to review each of my 12 intentions I realized I did make progress in most of them.<br />
<br />
<u>CHOOSE to Listen</u>: Made some progress, but still need to work on this. I realize that when I am stressed about something I become defensive.<br />
<u><br /></u>
<u>CHOOSE Attitude</u>: Worked on this one a lot this year and make lots of progress removing my self from negative people and reduced the negative self talk. Brave Girls classes really helped in this area.<br />
<br />
<u>CHOOSE to Learn</u>: I learned new things like drawing faces but didn't spend the time practicing as much as I wanted. Also wanted to improve my lettering skills and never took this off the ground.<br />
<br />
<u>CHOOSE Organization</u>: Did some here and there thought out the year.<br />
<br />
<u>CHOOSE Fun</u>: This was about spending time with Friends and Family. We had a awesome vacation together and visited family in France. Life dream to take my kids to see my mom's home and family. Also travel with friends to have fun and visited my sister for our annual sister time.<br />
<br />
<u>CHOOSE Health: </u>Set a goal to get down to the 150's by my 50th Birthday. Started the year focused but once the summer came and vacation, then work travel in the FALL, I lost focus completely. My sister motivated me with her amazing transformation and made commitment in Dec 1 to start focus and never felt better.<br />
<br />
<u>CHOOSE SHARE</u>: This was about encouraging others and doing good. I like to believe that my positive attitude this year was spread to others.<br />
<br />
<u>CHOOSE Love:</u> I like to believe I made progress in this area as it is important to me that my husband knows how much I love him.<br />
<br />
<u>CHOOSE to Finish</u>: Finished up 3 quilts that had been started years previous.<br />
<br />
<u>CHOOSE to Live</u>: Like to believe I did this as well. The year went so fast and I really tried hard to stop and smell the roses. Took a Mediation class with my husband at school which helped me to slow down.<br />
<br />
<u>CHOOSE Me</u>: Made time for me, asked for help when I needed it. Mom taking over my laundry and letting dinner go when I just didn't have it in me to cook.<br />
<br />
Looking forward to another amazing year and hoping it doesn't go by so fast!<br />

Today I attended a class with Dina Wakley called "Marvelous Mark Making". This class was way cool! Dina gave us a little Sumi ink, a chop stick, a straw, a piece of string and a price of a credit card and told us to dip these items in the ink and draw using your left hand on gesso pages.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sounds crazy doesn't it!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Well, scary as it was I proceed to add black marks with these objects. After our marks where down on paper, we went around the room to share our creations and looked for hidden images within the marks. It was amazing to see what showed up in everyone's pages.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few of my pages.</div>

I tried something new this month. Instead of making all those tiny squares, I stamped them with a mini tag stamp by Close to My Heart! I like how my background bleeds through my days. And it was a lot faster and easier to complete.<br />

It has many hours of time spent on the couch next to my hubby watching The Big Bang Theory. Not my favorite show which is why I quilt while he watches.<br />
<br />
Here a peek at the final blocks <br />

I loved art but when I compared what I made to what others created there was no comparison. Thanks to discovering Donna Downey and then many other artist in Blogger land, I learned what being an artist really means.<br />
<br />
I now love my work and love the freedom to create and be inspired by so many!<br />
