Day Three...

Okay, this is the last time I will take note of the days enjoying our goals. Besides, I will probably be getting ready for a snowstorm tomorrow. Actually, they are predicting a blizzard. Most of the snow is gone, but we may get up to two feet over the next couple of days. Think I will gas up the car and pick up groceries tomorrow early...

I am having fun with these craft paints. Here's my latest fun page...

Really bold colors. But very flat, rough paint. This one is done with the craft paints and permanent markers both black and different colors. Non permanent markers do not seem to do the trick. The color actually disappears! Once finished, I sprayed it with Mod Podge Spray and the finish was smooth and a bit shiny with a kind of leathery feeling.

I managed to walk a mile again today. Some writing. Lots of creative fun!!! I like that goal.

Hope you are enjoying your goals...

Thanks for spending some time here...

Hopefully, I'll see you tomorrow...

CRAFTING IDEAS

I am always looking for a small piece of paper to write down something which will later be disposed of. I decided to use some of the scrap paper of which I have a ton. I mostly use the paper for glueing projects. I decided to cut the paper into a small size. (Six pieces from a piece of copy paper.). But just having them sitting on my desk would get messy without a container. So, using a cardboard box, I cut it down to size and using a hot glue gun I glued the ends together. Using a picture from a magazine cut into pieces and stick craft glue, I glued the pieces to the box inside and out. I also used some decorative tape for the outside edges. And to finish the top corners which were not covered, I used straight pins with colorful tops. Looks nice and works well.

THOUGHT FOR THE DAY

So in looking over your habits what did you find? Some popular good habits folks have are: Meditation, exercise, journal writing, flossing, reading and walking up early. Some not so great habits included smoking, saying yes, swearing, tolerating folks, not sleeping enough, always complaining and constantly making excuses. Do you have more good habits or more bad habits? Is it time to change? If so, start with the easiest bad habit to change, not the hardest. This will give the best chance of success. Decide on the best way for you to change your habit. Worry too much? Set a time to worry and then stop. You may have to stop yourself several times at the beginning but keep it up and you will worry less. Or, alternatively, write the worry down as well as options to stop the problem. Just figure out which way to stop is best for you.
