Morning Painting Evening Pages

I found stationery that said special on it and I custom cut it to fit my planner and I’ll will be using it as a writing exercise for 21 days write about being special.

I’m enjoying a book I found last week and nearly have it read I highly recommend this book Writing alone and with others by Pat Schneider especially if you have writing aspirations you need this book! It's a great read too about her experiences of leading writing work shops and what is good in a writing work shop or writing class.

I wrote and auto bio of my younger years a few years back and that was such a fun experience I took my note book and went to a coffee shop one morning and got the bulk of ideas on paper that went so smoothly without the distraction of phone or TV; I see why they suggest that in the books on writing that I love to read!

I enjoyed a writers group that I was in one fall it so inspired me to keep on writing it was a very productive fall. That was before blogging for me.

No, I do not write fiction not writing a book not working on a manuscript some are doing NaNoWriMo 2006 for a fall fiction project writing project what is this? http://www.nanowrimo.org/

My dear grand daughter 2nd grade is supposed to be doing journaling and I’ve talked to her parents about keeping it in her book bag so she can work on it here, yesterday I had her write down a line of the topic she wanted to write about. I do this to help me remember if I do not have my journal / planner with me. Journaling is one of my passions I love to read journals by others like early pioneers Lewis and Clark journals have been a fun read for me. I’ve found this at the local camp ground and others in
our area. So next time you are traveling check out books at tourist attractions of local authors.

Morning painting evening pages I’m painting in the mornings these days instead of doing morning pages and journaling in the evening whatever works! I"m Painting bird houses doll chairs and other fun items!

I did my art date yesterday ie play time over town shopping / doing research for dining table was exhausting I thought it would be fun it's not!

My 'finds' this week on my art date were two Emilie Barnes tea books! I love these they were on my book wish list last Christmas last year so I’m feeling very blessed to have these to read now. Timeless treasures and the Twelve teas of friendship. I have her gardening one and it’s time for a re-read of it I think! I love the art work in the Timeless Treasures Sandy Lynam Clough is the featured artist in this one; and twelve teas has art by Susan Ross. If you want a gift suggestion for a mom or granny that loves teas this is one you need to check in to getting!

I’ve really been inspired to get in gear with my painting by a book Creative Artist by Nita Lealand got it from north light book club I’ve got a wish list of at least $200.oo of books I want from the last catalogue. If only I had more time to read.
