Welcome 2021
For all the crazy, sad things that happened this past year, we have seen so many blessings too. We spent much more time together as a family, in person and virtually, and spent less money since we were not eating out, going to movies, or taking a vacation.
I never dreamed I would see 2021 when I was young. That just sounded like science fiction! I am working this year to form a habit of reading my Bible first thing every morning. If I wait until later in the day, so many things get in the way. My mind is less cluttered early in the morning, and hopefully I will be able to retain more of it!
I can't wait to begin a fresh journal. I still have a few pages to fill in my old one. I thought I would fill it with drawings of my Christmas presents. That would be a fun way to end a crazy year.
I hope to produce more art this year. I want to finish a charcoal drawing I started of a really cool dog I found on the internet. (I got permission from his owner who is also the photographer.) I have more ideas than hours in a day! One of our granddaughters is coming to help go through my huge cabinets in my studio this week. They are packed with stuff I haven't even seen in several years. No telling what we may find! I also have a large antique trunk filled to the brim with fancy fabrics, plus jars full of buttons, laces and vintage hankies I have collected from estate sales. She is a natural born organizer so I am hoping we will find some fun stuff to play with and get organized too! It will probably require a trip to Dollar Tree for bins (and maybe some other fun stuff Haha!) I'm sure there will be pictures to share!
Until then.......
