Day 08- Short term goals for this month and why

Here my goals for Jan 2011

Eat well and exercise so I have more energy and lose my mummy tummy.
Start an online marketing art group to help myself and other artists to be confident in promoting our work.
Get a new business card, I'm nearly out of my last batch.
Help Shaughan upgrade wanganui.org so it is the coolest Wanganui website.
Donate a painting for Sharlene's trip to India.
Go to the dentist cause my teeth hurt.
Find a studio so I can get all my paintings ready for an exhibition or auction in December 2011 celebrating my 10th year being an artist. Time to sell my babies and start again.

HAPPY 2011 EVERYONE! I'm sure it's going to be a good year, I fell really excited and motivated to get back into working hard!

Choc chip biscuits

Dip the biscuits in pineapple juice, paste together with whipped cream to make a choc log, cover the log with whipped cream and service with grated chocolate on top - easy peezy and a fave with everyone.

I might make this tonight, before I start that healthy living LOL.

Art Every Day Month Day 9 - Numbers

11 RULES FOR LIFE ONE - Give people more than they expect and do it cheerfully. TWO - Marry a man/woman you love to talk to. As you get older, their conversational skills will be as important as any other. THREE - Don't believe all you hear, spend all you have or sleep all you want. FOUR - When you say, "I love you," mean it. FIVE - When you say, "I'm sorry," look the person in the eye. SIX - Be engaged at least six months before you get married.

I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One

I had to share this article with you today, if I wrote something like this it would sound just the same... I Wanted to Be an Artist, So I Quit My Job and Became One by Christopher Fife. "Hi, I'm Christopher. I'm an artist." Exhale, run my fingers through my hair. "What do I do? Oh, I paint. I'm a painter. Yeah, I'm an artist." I tried it out every now and then, in front of the bathroom mirror. It sounded all right. But when I introduced myself as an artist outside my bathroom world of make-believe, I always felt false. I was like Magritte labeling a pipe. If I said I was an artist, I was an artist, right? Not exactly.
