Another weekend goes by…

and another week begins.   It’s amazing how time flies when you look backwards yet it takes forever when looking forward.  This weekend we did a good cleaning of the house.  I cleared out the kitchen of unnecessary items, got the emissions test done on the Civic, renewed tabs for our cars, laundry processed, and dishes done.  So you could say I did a lot this weekend.   Yet I never felt satistified.   Wierd.

I finally got my new easel up.  It looks so pretty and so inviting yet also intimidating.   Why so intimidating?  I have no degree in art and I haven’t really ever tried painting any kind of canvas except for once or twice when I was young.  I should just attempt like anything else I’d like to do.   It’s a matter of try try try.

At least I’ve gotten some movement on the wedding album front.  I’m so afraid of not doing justice to the album that it hasn’t gotten done since we were married 4+ years ago.  BUT! I am moving forward on it slowly.  I just got two more pages done.   Pages 7 and 8.  Woo hoo!   I haven’t gotten too elaborate with the design.  I enjoy the simplicity of just a few colors and stamps.   I also started to use some transparency for some wording to keep it even more simple.   I wonder how much time i should spend on these layouts and I want to see a finished project instead of enjoying the process.   Just as if the process is not enjoyable.   Guess I need to find the enjoyment out of it to get the results I’m looking for.
