Back in the game

I've recovered from my fit of yesterday.  I worked out, the endorphins kicked in (I had great music blaring, which always helps), and feel good.  My artists' round table group is all home and I have some good advice to get moving in the studio, so I'm looking forward to putting something together more than I have for a few weeks now.

I promised myself that I would stop referring to books and magazines for help getting motivated or confirmation that my own ideas were OK.  Last week I went back and looked at the web site for the Art House Co-Op and checked out previous entries for the project in which I'm participating.  Shame on me.  For the first time, I didn't feel like beating myself up and chucking my work.  I reflected on the words of my cyber-mentor Debbie and was really OK with what I'm doing.  This is a nice change for me.  Better yet, I went out and purchased three copies of the magazine in which my swap pendant was published which really made me feel good.  My teen son even asked if he could have a copy.  It was a simple project, but a great confidence booster.

Yeah me!
