My real-life friend, Shona Cole, has published a book called The Artistic Mother: A Practical Guide for Fitting Creativity into Your Life. (You can visit Shona's blog, "An Artful Life.") And Trudy, at Artistic Creations with Trudy, is hosting a new, online "Artisitc Mothers" group which just started. (It's not too late to join!)
The goal of the group is to insert a little creativity into every day with a little bit of accountability provided through the group. The book covers 12 projects and we'll be spending 2 weeks on each project. Once a week, each participant is encouraged to post about their progress. This is a "no pressure" group and you are welcome to join in even if you can't complete a project every 2 weeks or get behind. So, please check out Trudy's post if you are interested! And, I look forward to using my creativity!
Note from Trudy's site: Due to copyright laws, we are not allowed to do tutorials or step-by-step photos of the projects on our blogs or take photos of the pages in the book and post them. You may post a photo of your version of the project and talk about your experiences and feelings relating to it. Also, if you are doing this project with a friend, each person must have their book unless you are doing it together under the same roof. No photocopying of the book, please.
Thanks for the shout out, Dana. So glad you're in the group. It will be fun.
ReplyDeleteAlso wanted to let you know that I have a group button you can place in your sidebar to make it easy for people to click on to go to my site to see the links of the others participants in the group so everyone can visit around.
Can't wait to see what you create.

ReplyDeleteThanks for mentioning it!
Ooohh! I'll look forward to seeing what you post. You've done quite a few creative things lately, so it'll be cool to see what you do when it's a goal of yours.
