Creative Rehab - Day 1 and 2

Happy New Year!!

Yesterday was Day 1 of Creative Rehab, but I missed yesterday, so I will post day 1 and 2 now to catch up.  Why did I miss yesterday?  Well, I was absorbed in creating my personal and business goals for 2014 using two workbooks created by Leoni Dawson called "Create Your Amazing Year."  She uses really great prompts to get you thinking about where your are, where you want to be, and what you want.  I'm not completely done yet as I need to create my dream boards still - but I will post those when they are done.

One of the exercises I did was coming up with a word and a phrase that I want to live by in 2014.  I decided that my "word" this year is Authenticity - which for me means that my goal each and every day is to live as authentically as I can, being true to who I am and what I want in all facets of my life.  My phrase is Spirit Goddess which for me means that I am embracing both my inner-spirit and my inner-goddess.

I did an Oracle reading and was amazed and surprised at which cards I pulled (if you click on the photo, you should be able to make it bigger):

So needless to say it has been an inspiring, awakening, and beautiful start to my new year! So, back to Creative Rehab!

Here is my shot for Day1:

When it's done it will be a pendent.  The stone is a garnet.

Day 2:

You might think my day 2 photo is odd but i'm very proud of my DIY lightbox!

To keep things simple, I'm just going to keep adding to this post each day rather than create a new post for each day, and I hope you'll join me by sharing your photos on my Facebook page!

And remember, it doesn't have to be "art" per se - just whatever makes your heart sing.

'Til tomorrow!

Creative Rehab for 365 days -- Starting in in 6 Days

Are you ready?  January 1st is just around the corner.  I hope you will join me on my quest to practice art once-a-day.  It can be for 10 minutes or 10 hours, it can be anything you want - finished,  unfinished, it doesn't matter.  For more details, you can check out my previous blog post here.

To make this even more fun, but only if you feel comfortable, I'd love it if you shared your creations - partial or otherwise on my Facebook Page, and post comments if the mood strikes you.

Though the following picture isn't part of the 365 days of course, but thought I'd show what I mean:
