My Word for 2014

Happy New Year

I am ready to embrace what 2014 has in store for me.

I'm starting a new job as the School Librarian at Carncot Independent School. I'll work 3 hours every day during term time so I get to do what I love professionally, and still have time for my family and creativity :-) 

Time to share my word for the year. Some of my past words have been  Completion (2013), Lighten Up (2012), Be Present (2011). Although I sometimes lose sight of it towards the end of the year, I do find it a helpful way to start. Hear Christine Kane talking about the concept here. If you think you'd like to choose a word, there's a huge list of possibilities here.

I have finally settled on

Living Thrifty will mean :

* Using what I have and not buying new art supplies.

* Not buying new art books - I have enough inspiration on my bookshelf to last me a lifetime!

Lucky me got the Stencil Girl book for Christmas and
the library can feed my art book habit without me spending :-)

* Completing current workshops instead of spending money on new ones

BUT don't forget the free ones :-)
* Making more meals/trying new recipes and buying takeaways less (currently once a week)

* Continuing to attend the gym regularly so I am using my  monthly membership payment well

* Using my time wisely - spending less time on the computer looking at other people's work and concentrate on creating in my studio

Would love you to leave a comment telling me your word or creative goals for 2014. See you again soon
