My Turn At The Wheel

Today i want to introduce everyone here to my new project and maybe you’ll learn a little bit about me along the way.

This project started as an idea to try to keep creativity flowing and gather the like minded to help do so. An opportunity to spread that creative spirit through out busy lives make new connections, online and off. A way to use the power of many to gain a better foothold over all the tasks it takes to be a self employed artist. I mulled this over for a year or more before spilling it all to my online friend, Lori Leissner of Leissnerart. After several chats we approached another online art gal friend, Ursula Smith of Easy Scraps. That brought us to today and a like minded group of 20+ self employed women artists from three continents.

I’m so excited about this collaboration i could scream…loudly!!

 

Continuing over the next weeks we will be introducing the crew members of the Klatch. Each was asked a set of fun, insightful questions so you can get to know them better. Mixed with that will be great artsy projects, a re-affirming gratitude component, and some creative surprises. Our goal is to connect to you through creativity and give you a spot to come when you need a pause from your busy life.

 

Join us and connect with the Cre8ive Klatch!

Always,

Susan

 

 

 

 

Forgotten Words…

me1

Today’s task was to write up a short 100 word bio about my self for our Ice® Resin Team…not an easy task! But I found something that I had forgotten about completely and it’s pretty funny (at least to me!) Not even sure what or who I wrote this for and it may very well be on my old blog…not sure.

But, in either case, here it is again…

Quirks and the Divine (Divine Quirks..?)

My husband was quick to jump into this!

  1. Known only to one other is the fact that I have an innate aversion to the tiny leftover bits of just about anything. I will leave the last dregs of the toothpaste, the last half ounce of mouth wash, a food leftover, and sometimes even the last bite on my plate. Weird, huh?
  2. My family thinks I have kitchen OCD (technically shouldn’t it be CDO…alphabetical would be better). It makes me crazy if the pots aren’t hung on the rack just right, tools aren’t in the same places in the drawer, or the dishwasher isn’t loaded the way I would load it. I take it all apart and put whatever it is back together the “right” way then I can breathe again. And this doesn’t bother me anywhere but the in the kitchen…(okay, so if the toilet paper is upside down I turn it over…are you a paper under or a paper over person?)
  3. My children were quick to point out that I always want to watch the same TV show or movie…all the time! Let’s see…I’ve watched the latest Star Trek movie about 20 times, the first Alien movie several dozen times, I’m on my 10th or 11th go around on the Tudor series, and I’m hopelessly addicted to Downton Abbey. Every time they come into the room with me they can tell just by about ten seconds of sound what is on my screen. I like the familiarity of it, is that bad?
  4. No matter what time I need to get up I set my alarm clock between 15 and 30 minutes before that time. In the just waking up state of mind I can trick myself into thinking I’m going to be late if I don’t get up when the alarm goes off and if, in my morning haze, I hit the snooze button once I’m still on time! My husband thinks this is just plain madness. “You can still read the time on the clock!” Yes….but it’s psychological trickery for the gal who hates mornings. Nuts, maybe?! Does it work for me? Yes! Every time!

Divine?

Live everyday like the devil is chasing you! I believe that life is short and each day is precious. You need to find your path to be happy, laugh, love, and deeply live your life to the fullest. You only get one chance at it. If you don’t like your current path then change it…mold it, wrangle it, work at it until you can say you’re pleased with it. Don’t blame your unhappiness on others…you choose! You get to make your life passionate and happy! Now go blaze your trail!!
