Crusade 33 ~ Back to School

According to Michelle Ward, this month's challenge in GPP Street Team is to feed your brain - in or out of the studio. Tell us on your blog what you have learned recently, what you plan to learn, or what you are currently learning. It does not have to relate to art. It can be anything.

********************************************************************
You must learn day by day, year by year, to broaden your horizons. The more things you love, the more you are interested in, the more you enjoy, the more you are indignant about--the more you have left when anything happens." -- Ethel Barrymore

Keep your "a childlike" curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.

Once we start learning something new, we become excited again.

I've taken 2 online workshop in last months ago, i.e. 'Capture your dream' and Vision Journal Workshop. I enjoy both workshop and gather new knowledge, which is not limited to art only .






Besides, I also learn to bind my own pages into journal book.
I'm happy for the new try.

However ,all of these is not end for this year.

I have another class with Kathryn on her 'Personal Retreat' which to be started on 1 October.
I just love her class :)

I also plan to take another class in Doll Making.

The house-shape cardboard that I prepared for the class.

What luxury do you wish for ?

Jamie Ridler’s Wishcasting Wednesday Sept' 23 ~

What luxury do you wish for ?

Throughout the years, I lived in average.

I resisted in getting those branded cloths, bags & shoes.

So, my answer for this at this moment is T I M E .

I need more time to create, time to inspirational, time with family, time with friends & time for my ownself.

My wish for today is ~ Wisdom in spend the quality time and allocating those priority tasks.

Vision Board

I make my own vision board (also called a Treasure Map or Creativity Collage) . The collage images was torn out from various magazine and pasted on the poster board.

The process of getting those images :
Go through the magazines and cut out the images and begin to lay on the board.
As you lay the pictures on the board, you’ll get a sense how the board should be laid out.
For instance, the lady with the laptop and the travel suit case.

You may try to make one yourself.

What's Next

So busy in work place until many things had left behind.
My time for family, friends, and art.
I never had so much depression faced in my work than this time.
I was flounder and lost.

I'm glad that I had joined Kathryn's Vision Journal Workshop.
This workshop came in right time.
And the 6 weeks had past.

Vision Journaling Workshop : Excitement List

Throughout the week jot down those things that excited you.
This will be a handy note card whenever you are feeling that your passion has waned.

The "Excitement List" page was prepared.
However, the page was not fully filled.
I still hang on to my work task. The tender need to be submitted by 28/9/09. Another 14 days to go.

Gorgeous you !

"You're gorgeous !
You know that ? We mean you're absolutely and totally out of this world. You're ultimate. You are better than the ultimate.
You're the ultimate ultimate."

I used the rubber stamps from Michelle Ward for her dress.
