*yes, although it’s a bit adolescent, it’s OK to laugh… I did
You tell me!
This bot was born when I was doodling during an online class. I made a couple of christmas-themed ones and I decided to draw some looove themed ones.
So I’m drawing a series of 10 Valentine trading card size Art Cards. All will be different. All are a little twisted.
The real life cards are all glittery and stuff. The pens I’m using to color them in are Copic atYou Spica, and they’re amazing. Go get your own at JetPens. *if they had an affiliate program, I’d join, but they don’t….
The first three are here:

Each one is $12. Includes USA-only shipping & a card protector. (I can’t guarantee delivery by V-Day if you don’t live in the states.. even if you do, the Post office does what it does. But if you’re not in the US, and STILL want a card, let me know before you buy.
And once they’re gone, they’re gone.
Follow me on Twitter to be updated when the next 7 are available.

Pardon me, I’m going to be extremely girly and squee… then dance & cavort and celebrate…
SQUEE!
I was interviewed by two awesome chicks at 2 Chicks At Home for their 2Chicks Seal of Approval – as the first recipient.
Yolanda bought a journal not too long ago and she even made a video of the unboxing!
She either has way too much time on her hands or she really likes the packaging…
Anyway, go to the 2 Chicks site & read the interview. Then stay there & read the rest of the site. They’re 2 amazing chicks with lots of insight for the home-based working crowd.
My energy level has tanked.
But a big part of getting somewhere in life is showing up, right?
So I’m showing up.
I’m dragging, but I’m here.
But I was full of it (energy,that is) last week… and I did something: an ebook called “Five things to do before you kick your day job’s ass to the curb.”
It’s about taking small actions, things that will stir up your inner ninja and preparing yourself for your major leap into a new career or even self-boss-hood.
I have one chapter available – all pretified and stuff – if you sign up for my Thrive Creative Coaching mailing list.
When I actually launch the eBook, people who are on my list will get a special discount code. SO…. want a preview? The free chapter is on Vision. What it is & how to get it & why you need it.
I have a handy sign-up form right there (pretend I’m pointing you to the top of the column on the right).
10 Steps to Escaping the Job World and Creating the Life You Really Want. Valerie Young gets to the heart of what it takes.
The Silence of Becoming A Linchpin: Jen’s talking about Seth Godin’s new book, Linchpin – and what it means to actually ship (i.e. get stuff out there).
I have a problem with too many tools… so what do you do to get rid of what you don’t need and streamline your toolbox? Ken Robert’s guest post on Productive Flourishing may help.
An occasional romp into the worst-case scenario may be good for you. Screw positive thinking! Creativity, Motivation, And The Dark Side Of The Future
And for some inspiration… The Change Maker’s Creed:
I am changing the world. Lead, follow, help, or get the hell out of the way.
If that doesn’t make you want to unleash your inner ninja… I don’t know what will.

This week was WAY less active as last but I did do stuff.
Since one of my main purposes of this year is to finish up my UFO’s, I bound a book with covers that have been sitting in the corner collecting dust.
And I added it to my artfire shop.
I’ve also doodled daily. Not much to speak of, and definitely not something I really want to show off. Doodling helps me focus, especially while listening to audio programs or someone else talking. Every spare piece of paper on my desk is full of scribbles.
And I wrote. A lot. I finished up my eBook for my Thrive Creative Coaching biz, fixed up the landing page and hooked up MailChimp. I’m offering a free chapter from my eBook if you sign up for the mailing list.
Lots more writing than “art-ing” this week…
This week I stepped waay back from my strategic plan and tried to figure out a way to make this really work without throwing me headlong into overwhelm.
Which is a relatively easy thing to do…
I haven’t exactly made up with my plan, but we’ve agreed on a truce.
Plan lives on my computer where it’s easily changed.
Plan only gives me the next three months of things to do so I don’t rebel against it like a hormonal teenager.
Laminated Plan is removed from planner. This one was a major sticking point. Plan didn’t quite want to be sent to the shredder so I relegated it to the book shelf tucked inside one of the multitude of journals I have lined up.
Don’t ask me which one because I’ve already forgotten. Read the rest of this entry »
This is my very first weekly update for Creative Every Day.
I did lots of background-preparing this week for my Strategic Planner and my art journal, and I finally decided to put some paint on a paper clay niche I made a while back.

I created a lovely plan that would have helped me accomplish a lot this year and now I don’t even want to look at it.
It’s printed out in fancy type but I have the urge to rip it out of my planner… But I *love* my new planner. It’s pretty. So at least that makes me happy. That spreadsheet at the end, however, may have to go.
I know it’s one of the Monsters in my head saying stuff like:
“Well, now that everything’s planned out, you can’t deviate from the plan because you KNOW what happens when you deviate from the plan… Besides, you have it on paper AND on your computer so it’s set in stone. And you know how you get when things don’t go the way you expect so you better buckle down and do all this stuff now. No room for slacking off and daydreaming.”

It’s the second-to-last day of 2009 and the interwebs have been flooded with year-end blatherings since two weeks ago. So, being the lemming I am…
Here’s a roundup of some posts that have been essential to my year-end review and have given me a few good tools to get moving on my general outline/plan/something that’ll get me to where I want to go sometime in the next year or so.
Lisa Sonora Beam’s Strategic Planner – Goal Setting for Creatives: I’ve read her book, The Creative Entrepreneur*. I’ve taken both classes she offered this year – one on Visual Journaling and another on the Strategic Planner. I’m finally putting some of this stuff to work! The post I linked to is first in a series of 4. By the time this is published, she should have all 4 on her blog.
