Birthday celebration

Our youngest grandson turned 2 this week. We celebrated with a meal at Pizza Hut and a treat at Dairy Queen. Amazing how quickly they grow!

This week has been full and blessed. Working two days as a substitute teacher and spending some time in my art studio creating some fun things. The latest tangles I have made are up on my site http://catherinemariecalvetti.com hoping to finish another fun project soon and get it posted soon. This one with inches atop a fun background of layers. Then topped with wires and twine.

How about once a week?

I obviously am not going to post everyday. I am going to try for at least once a week for now. I think that is a doable "goal". I also want to learn how to use this blog site better. I want to learn how to put photos in the post and figure what direction this blog should head. Should it just be a diary of what is going on in my life?

Ahh I see a photo icon... could that be the magic button that will put the photo inside the post? I am going to check it out.

Woohoo I think I did it. Just found a winter picture I took last winter of Lake Michigan.

The Ice Castle

Eagle River is well known for the annual tradition of building a castle out of ice blocks. The ice is cut from a local lake and put together by our local Volunteer Fire Department. This year they used more than 2,500 blocks of ice. It is 24 feet tall.

Time for an update

2010 has been here for a week and what have I done??? A few zentangles, 200 photos scrapbooked very simply and some cleaning in my art studio. I feel like I have not done much and am not very motivated in the art realm so I joined internet group swaps to get me going. I also have two different friends coming over to do some "art therapy" time. So far I have not created a vision board for the new year, but that does not mean that my wheels have not been turning, thinking about what my focus should be for 2010. I know seeing my Dad and my husband become more healthy would be my top thing. Next would be to see the book I just finished writing get published. Get better about posting on my blogs not just facebook. Last of all come to a place where I can sell my art. If it is not for a gift I find it difficult to part with.

I have continued working out at Curves and walking at the school. I have added a few more laps to my walks so I did over 6 miles this week.

What are your goals? Resolutions or focus for 2010?
