Day 6!!! (Is it starting to feel like a habit?)

28 days make a habit, but I find that things start to get easier for me after about a week. We're on day 6, and it's beginning to slip into my daily activity to make sure that I at least have some time carved out to be creative.
 I have a couple new sneaker orders to work on so I'll be posting pics of those in the upcoming days! I need to finish some ideas for some upcoming classes and of course my daily calendar! Today so far has just been a quick card for a friend so I can get it in the mail asap and then I'll work on my other stuff! It felt like a day for bright and cheery wishes!

What about you? What do you have on your list of things to do today?

 

Whew... Ok! Monday Jan.5, Day 5!

Ok, so the headache is finally (knocks on wood) better!

Here is what I have going on, because I was out of it, I missed the fact that yesterday I wanted to direct you to visit Suzy over at her blog SuzyMosh Creations because on Sundays she is running a "That's new to me" weekly challenge.  This week was to use a Tangle that was new to you that started with the letter T.
Since I wasn't feeling so hot, I decided to combine some of my challenges into 1 tile. :) Of course that means for the rest of the week, I'll be coming up with lots of stuff on my own, but I've got stuff I have to do, so that's good!

So anyway, my T tangle, the other day I used Twing for the first time... and struggled iwth it a lot. So I decided that since it's really new to me, that would be my T tangle.
Then, Laura over at the I am the Diva  posted her weekly challenge (seriously, check these out. These are such great ways to learn new things and to be creative even when you thought maybe you weren't feeling it)
Hers was to use Hitch by HeidiSue which tied in GREAT with Twing... Ok, I'm on a roll here!

My CZT group is back to doing challenges and this week was Vega, more diamonds! WOOOHOOO.....

and since I was all in at this point, why not add the Square One:Purely Zentangle focus tangle in too? That one was XYP! Wow, apparently diamond based tangles were the thing this week!
So... I put them all in together.

And I got this...

Twing, XYP, Vega, Hitch

I don't really love it, but I did learn a lot about each of those tangles as I did them. That's the point of challenges right? Push past your limits? Try something new?

Anyway, so those are some of the challenges I really like... you should try them if you want. They are open to everyone!

I also started planning a new class, it's top secret for now... and I've been practicing for it and I've recruited a few victims   eer.... volunteers who are going to be testing my lesson plan for me before I make that live. Here's a sneak peek of that, just some playing with scrap paper.

And then... finally, I did my Tangle a day calendar yesterday and today.
I reserve the right to add to these 2, I don't love either of them, but I'm not at the top of my game either yet.

Maybe I need chocolate. :)

Anyway... so show me what you've got going on friends! I can't wait to see!

Monday posts...

Official challenge posts will come later in the day on Mondays, so that I can use my participation of Laura Harm's Weekly challenge over at I am the diva as one of my creativity challenges. :) I never seem to get to those until afternoon so... just so you know, the post is coming, but will normally be after lunch sometime on Mondays. :)

So far, I've made tea. :D
