my friend Ann and I met Louise Gale
at AN ARTFUL JOURNEY this February, where she participated in the same wonderful workshop that we were in ... taught by Kelly Rae Roberts and Mati Rose McDonough.
Louise is putting together a CREATIVE COLOR CHALLENGE for August ... just the thing to keep your creative juices flowing in a colorful way.
Yes, I have too many things on my plate (heck, it's a full blown platter by now), but this sounds so fun and so pressure-less. I mean, really - what could happen if I miss a week - will the Color Challenge militia come after me? I doubt it.
So THANK YOU, Louise, for creating this fun experience.
You can join in, too -- here's a link to the details.

Just before my 8-week series of workshops with the amazing Jane LaFazio ended -- back at the end of March -- Jane told me about a very wonderful experience that her friend just had. Her friend had attended BRAVE GIRL CAMP, and because I am feeling brave these days, I ran home and looked it up. Wow, did I like what I saw !!!
Someday {and it's looking like it will be in 2011, since all their Brave Girl Camp dates are SOLD OUT for 2010} I, too, will go to Brave Girl Camp.
You should visit their website to check out what they're all about and what they have to offer. Creative souls especially will find it nourishing. http://www.bravegirlsclub.com/
For a little taster, here's a post that I found in my in-box just today:
Dear Super-Smart Girl,
Did you know there's a part of you that is even smarter than your brain? Did you know that the wisdom that comes from this part of you will get you through all of life's bumpy roads, and the smooth sailing roads, too?
Your gut...that deepest place of knowing that's nestled right next to your beautiful heart is the place where your most important thinking should be done. Your brain should be taking orders from your gut and your heart...not the other way around.
You know so much more than you think you know.
You ARE SO MUCH MORE than you think you are.
You are so much braver than you think you are.
You are so much smarter than you think you are.
You are so much more wonderful than you think you are.
So....start thinking with the smart parts of you ..... you can never go wrong.
xoxo - Melody and Kathy
Okay, so is it just me? Or is that rather powerful? I am in "writing a business plan" mode, for sure. And I am itching to find and make time to JUST. BE. CREATIVE. I have now organized my "projects in progress" {and whoa, do I have plenty of 'em!} into nice handy stackable plastic tote boxes. I can see through the lids, and I just about drool each time I walk by. And what the heck, who am I fooling? I also have "yet to be completed" projects in ... my upstairs craft spot, our bedroom, and my office. Oh, and let's not forget the dining room. What can I say? I like to see my options. LOL.
Anyway - I'm rambling. Visit BRAVE GIRLS' website and check 'em out.
Enjoy!
YOUR,
Princess Magpie
