Something else that I plan on making

I found these while googling altered Art images...and I am totally going to make these. I have a bunch of clothes pins laying around my house. I think that my studio will get a make over when I get home. Oh....I stole this image from: http://aimeeaustin.wordpress.com/category/altered-art/ Check out her stuff..I've just recently found her..and she has done some really great gift ideas for her child's teacher.

Books that I am going to read and complete in 2009 -Part Two

Here's another book that I have in my studio that I've been planning on reading but never got past the first chapter. In 2009, I am going to complete this book.

Books that I am going to read and complete in 2009 -Part One

Okay. So this book I got for Christmas from my dear friend Sarah...in like 2006....and it is so inspiring but I have been having the hardest time with the discipline of it all...the writing in a journal everyday, and sticking with it. NO MORE! This year in 2009 I am bound and determined to Persevere! It may take me longer than it should but I need to do this. I feel this one in my spirit. God has been really talking to me about stepping out in faith with my art...and reawakening the spirit in me that is designed to create and make things. I am called to release beauty into this world...and I need to do that. NO FEAR!

One project for next year

I have seen these on a couple different sites...where people are using them as an address book for all of their contacts....but instead of using the plain boring rolodex cards they are altered and decorated.I am looking to make a card for those in my life, and my art contacts.
