There has been so much change in my life, and with my family these past 10 years. Though there have been challenges (sometimes coming in quick succession) the beginning of 2010 finds us all stronger, happier, healthier and with greater focus and eager anticipation for the future.
Our four kids continue to be a source of pleasure and inspiration. And Jim and I spend many an hour planning our next home. We're not sure exactly when those plans will become a lot, foundation and construction zone, but we do know it will happen in time. Patience and I have become friendly, at last :)
The new year will bring change, most notably my newfound resolve to establish more consistent routines. As many of you moms know - kids can and will consume all your free and flex time, if allowed to do so. I've learned that protecting my creative time will be a priority in the new year. And one way I'll be doing this is by using a weekly Sketch Journal. This journal, and these pencils, will record and encourage my progress these next few months (and in the years ahead). I hope you will enjoy seeing ideas come to life and events as they're recorded.
Hope you and yours have lots to look forward to in 2010, and hope you've had a wonderful Holiday Season!
