Starting out with good intentions...

...doesn't always mean I follow through! The craft table is pared down, but not quite neat. And everything isn't put away in the right place. But I am starting to wade throught the post holiday sluggishness, and spruce up my ETSY site. I have also gotten in some fun background painting with my sister last week; turning them in to some pretty darn cute bookmarks!
The applications for shows are printed out, and one has already been submitted. This is a good thing. I start looking forward to festivals about this time; Holiday shows seem like a long time ago. Planning far ahead is a bit tricky this year with my younger son graduating from High School and college Open House days taking up a lot of Saturdays. It will all work out...

Thanks to the CMMAG, I have dabbled where I have never gone before; into the realm of ATCs. I made 4 for the January meeting and hope to do the February "passion" theme cards. I picked up 4 mini pieces of Art from other members. This is a neat way to share without a huge investment of time and materials. I am looking forward to a busy and fun year with the Art Guild; they have a lot of cool stuff planned :)
