You know how new year’s resolutions go gangbusters in January and then fall off as the year progresses? Well, I’m hoping I can turn mine into a habit which is why I’ve decided to start early in the day on the things I want to work on. My word or focus this year is “Learn”. There’s so much that I’d like to learn I’m going to try to focus it this year — and I don’t mean just scrappy stuff! I’m already working on improving my photography – even took a few shots in manual mode. I also want to learn how to feed my family better – I have a picky eater and rather than cater to him I want to try to figure out how to feed everyone the same stuff and make everyone happy (or at least not hungry). I know there’s a lot to learn there!
Today I learned some doodling techniques from Michelle Houghton‘s class “Oodles of Doodles” at Get It Scrapped. I used to doodle quite a lot as a kid but fell out of doing that as I got older. I can see how it could be a lot of fun. Michelle even gives instructions on how to draw body parts — check out the eye below. I’m quite proud of that one!
Later today I’m going to learn if my family likes quiche 😉 I’m guessing at least one person won’t be happy but the more I expose him to different foods the more likely he’ll be to try things. Right? At least that’s the assumption I’m working under.
Have a great Tuesday!
great word for the year and great eye 😀
That is a very admirable word to pick! And remember, kids need to try things at least 3 different times to develop a taste for it so don't give up on the first try 🙂 Good luck!
Great job on the doodling Paula! and you are right amazing eye!
Ooh! Like it! I chose a word too: "peace" after I saw a sign in a Buddhist garden which said "Peace is the highest bliss."
Works for me, and a very thoughtful word from you, well done.
I love quiche, but I think I'm the only one who LOVES it in my house. Mmmmm… quiche…
Love your doodling. What a great creative outlet this is! When the doodling craze hit the scrapbooking world a few years back, I felt like a teenager in high school again, doodling on almost every single page I made for a few months there. I hope you'll post more of your doodles here. 🙂
This comment is not at all related to this post…I somehow found your layout for a page with a little girl super hero. I have been searching for a girl superhero digital element for my daughter's Bday for 2 hours and can't find any. It appears that the kit you have is no longer available. I don't normally buy many digital kits or elements but do you know anywhere I could get it or have you seen any other's? Thanks for any help you have! Jenny
