So much for progress!

I'm still dealing with energy issues so I don't get as much accomplished as I would like.  And consequently I have fallen waaaay behind in my artisic endeavours (;

As I mentioned much earlier, I purchased an online journalling class.  I was very excited about it and had great plans for what I would accomplish.  I also joined Journal 52, again lots of grand plans!
They came to naught.  I fell too far behind, and since I'm an all or nothing kind of gal, I became discouraged and gave up.

The purchased course came very highly recommended and I'm quite sure it's an excellent course.  There volurme of content was incredible and I think I became overwhelmed;  nothing wrong with the instructors or the content, just not my style I guess.

I thought prompts would help me, however I think they worked against me as I seemed to draw a blank most of the time and didn't do anything even remotely resembling the prompt provided.  I know, I know - excuses, excuses, excuses!  Anyway at the end of the day, I decided to just work on my own unless I saw a prompt that really called to me.  In retrospect I think I just bit off more than I could chew.

So my latest project is that I'm playing in the Daisy Yellow ICAD 2016 Challenge.  I find it to be manageable in terms of commitment and I'm enjoying the process which doesn't require as much time.  I have sooooo many supplies that I find this a really good opportunity to use up some of the treasures I've been hoarding.

I am also videoing (or trying to) my process with each ICAD.  I have no video experience or skills and I'm giving it a shot anyway.  I'm sure they will be less that perfect - nothing ventured nothing gained.

Caio!
