Right now I'm sitting here and everything is STILL clean, so I'm wondering to myself, how come I don't always keep it this uncluttered? But then I'll get into a whirlwind of some project or other, and when that happens, it's like a tornado strikes and I'm back to square one: totally cluttered! Suki, sometimes I feel that way too - one outfit, one bowl, one spoon ... so much easier. But then I get hungry for choices! :) Mary, so glad you're doing nanowrimo too! And oh my goodness, Soulbrush, what an excellent idea! I've looked at IF but know it's not something for me yet. But it's perfect for Dylan, and I think we can tie it in with his learning at home, too - I just took a look at past themes, and I think we could spend part of the week teaching him about the theme, and then have him draw what it means to him. This is SUCH a great idea - I mentioned it to Ward just now and he agrees. Thank you so much. And Lynn, absolutely, he loves all your comments and compliments! Thanks, Cris.

Love Dylan's artwork. Esp. the boat and the heart for mom. By this point in life I am of the mind that everything ebbs and flows and cycles in and out and around and back. Flow flow like a river. Whenever we think something is here to stay, wait awhile. I tend to be tidy myself except when in the midst of a project then I can get cluttered. But having cleaned out my 6 room house 4 years ago, and as most of the stuff I saved is now in storage, my own person possessions around me are relatively few. I am living, though, amidst my Mom's stuff, all of which she has left to me. Ugh. Though not the house the stuff resides in. Go figure. So more clutter to clear out after Mom dies. Sometimes I think I'd like just one outfit, one bowl and one spoon. And a sketchbook and pen. And.....:) Hi Belle and Dylan. Love Dylan’s artwork. Esp. the boat and the heart for mom.

Such cool pictures he has been doing too. Yea for Dylan. :) I too find that clutter gets me down. I had cleaned up the clutter before the big draw and now it is swarming in on me again so I need to get that under control. It does seem to sap ones energy. And I too have ebb and flows in inspriation of my Art. I think everyone must do so. Good that your friends help you get back on track. Thats what Friends are for. Great post today. :) Good for Dylan for keeping up with the Big draw. Such cool pictures he has been doing too. Yea for Dylan. :)
