This Is The Year

A couple of weeks ago, my friend was here and we were going to make banners for our studios proclaiming our word for the year. After MUCH deliberation and contemplation I chose Balance, well I actually ended up with a phrase “The Art of Balance”. That sounds more like what should hang in the studio than Balance, more for a gym… don’t you think?? I originally thought of Organize, but seriously… what is the chance?? Banner or no banner that seems pretty farfetched!

Sadly we didn’t finish the banner, maybe the word should be FOCUS???

Either way I’m going with Balance and until the banner is up I can just look at cork board and there it is…

I’ve been spending some time getting things “in order”, organized comes to mind, but…

I decided to show you a little glimpse of why it is such a struggle.

I start out with the best of intentions

I like to work on a game board, the theory being if I have to stop and clean off the table before I am done, I can fold up the board and all the pieces I was using are still in one place.

It’s all good until I open the drawers

I want to see all my choices…

And there you have it!

Are you asking yourself what is oddball wire stuff??

These little guys I think are for computers?? Or something electronic…

But they work really slick for attaching the beads to the necklace.

This was the first time I used them and I am anxious to try some other ways.

Another necklace.

And one more

I have a problem when it comes to buying things I know practically nothing about, like computers, cameras, well I guess anything electrical, mechanical or electronic…It seems like you make a choice and then the next week they are either obsolete or half price… Sometimes waiting is easier, but eventually I bite the bullet.

After MUCH deliberation and contemplation,

I’m sensing a life pattern here…

I got the Droid Smart Phone.

I think I should have moved a little quicker on this…

I feel like a skipped a step and now I’m not sure how to make a call, but I can post to my blog, Skype and check Facebook all at the same time…

I’m looking forward to 2012, with “The Balancing Act”, I mean… “The Art of Balance”as my mantra.

Gee, after I posted this I realized it was only 2011...I feel much better,

I have another whole year to "get balanced... "
