February in photos

Hello! 

Its been a very productive and awesome day. Ive been working on my to-do list like a mad woman, checking things off like crazy. What a good feeling it is! One of the things on my do to list was to make a photo collage of pictures ive taken in February. Ive never done it before and I absolutely LOVE how it turned out! I cant wait to do one for march.

 Another thing I worked on today was writing my list of goals for March... they are pretty basic and for the most part, attainable. But they mean something to me and I want to be able to accomplish them. 

 Im the kind of person to set goals but never actually take the time to accomplish them, or just forget about them in general. So Ive created this cute simple list and printed out four copies to put in places so that I see this everyday...no matter what. I will be back with an update to see how it goes! 

hope all is well

Here is a cute set of affirmation cards I made today. 

I just love the way they turned out! 

Today has been a very creative day for me. Ive started two mini books and worked on these eight affirmation cards. What a glorious time it was!

Its been a wonderful relaxing day. I stayed home sick from work today and got some much needed rest. I've been working on my blog layout and upcoming posts. Makes me happy. 

Below are a few pictures from around my studio.

Getting Things Started

So last night Bharath and I were sitting on the couch watching United States of Tara when all of a sudden a huge rush of inspiration for my blog came to me. I grabbed a piece of paper and started scribbling away my goals for my blog and what i need to do to achieve them. I have great dreams for this blog becoming successful and having many people flock to my page. Just thinking about it makes me happy, and this is only the beginning. I have a little work to do, and eventually things will just all fall together and my blog will be my own little space on the net.

Today I sat down and made a blog schedual. I made a calendar of february and mapped out when I wanted to post what. I hope this helps me in posting on a somewhat every day basis. This week one of my goals for the blog is to create the about me page. Once I start posting on a more regular basis and actually have folowers, I will add some more content to the blog. But for now, it is as it is. 

And life is grand. 

IM EXCITED

What a productive day its been!  So far today I have made this new blog banner, a new mini book, i've written in my goals journal, and I have also uploaded pictures! Accomplishing all of this feels amazing! 

Im on my way to making my creative dreams come real!
