The party I'm having is the culmination of a big effort: making ca 175 notecards, 20 bookmark designs (8 or more copies of each design) and 27 framed prints. These will all be for sale at the open house. It's a fundraiser for a church ministry.<br /><br />I also photographed a toddler a few weeks ago. Just delivered the prints last weekend. <br /><br />I have some other ideas for things to do after the open house. I might try some more drawing and painting. Also, I'd like to further prepare for Christmas. I'm looking forward to looking forward to it for a change. <br /><br />I think what I need to do is not worry so much about what I'm going to get out of it, but rather what I can give through it. What can I put into it? I'll see how that works out.<br /><br />Your plans sound good too. It's all about changing the focus, isn't it? <br /><br />Love,<br />marjamarjahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01810913152746930742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33029643.post-52169689153386795092009-10-21T16:22:40.177-07:002009-10-21T16:22:40.177-07:00Amen!

Your party sounds so nice, and isn'...Dear Marja,<br />Your party sounds so nice, and isn't it nice that your house smells like Christmas without all the sad associations of depression?<br /><br />In terms of creativity, have you considered getting back into photography? Whether you focus on children or some other subject, you're so talented, and I'm assuming it's a wonderfully creative outlet for you.<br /><br />In terms of my plan for Thanksgiving and Christmas this year, I've decided that my husband, son, dog, and I will go to Santa Barbara (one of my favorite places) for Thanksgiving. I'm going to make the reservations today.<br /><br />And, I'm researching a driving trip to visit relatives in Austin, Texas, for the Christmas holidays. Maybe new vistas with different relatives might be just the answer for me.<br /><br />Just wanted to share.<br /><br />Love,<br />Susansbwriteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05881627992105939490noreply@blogger.com
