I totally know the feeling of overwhelming...I have a lot of mid-way projects lying around. Great idea on the short and long term goals, sort of balance it all out. Glad you are going down this road of experimenting a new way and hope it works out! Have a great week! hi jacqueline!

This year i want to work in a more system way. I am making alot of lists and setting some short and long terms goals and planning with a date range for the short team goals and executing each plan slowly. Will see how this goes but so far i am loving every step of it. Hope you are havin a wonderful weekend and love to you!

I think it's pretty cool you get those moments of inspiration and you can follow through with it. Maybe ADD is a good thing...hehe. Thanks for your encouragement as always! :P Hi Virginia!

Sometimes I have laundry in my hands to sort and then I drop everything (literally)and go ahead in full force to make a card instead! Insane, huh!? I figure that it's OK if that makes you/I happy...we live in the NOW, not past, not future! So go for whatever your heart desires, artistically! I often thought that I have ADD,too!

You are right that perhaps it's just best to let it happen spontaneously...hmm...

I know I can be poking along on a project and suddenly I get this other "great idea" and off I go in another direction! And how can we help it really? There are so many wonderful art projects to be done, and so many pretty colors! Time off sounds good though:) Go for it!
