January 21: Affirmations


A lot of the snow melted yesterday, however, the ground is still covered although with only a couple inches.  And it is very cold...the high right now is 9...from a high of mid 40's yesterday.  The swings are dramatic to say the least.

This weekend will be another football filled one for me.  I enjoyed most of the games last weekend and look forward to this week's games.  And if it going to be this cold, I think it will be a stay-in weekend.  Popcorn and cocoa sounds nice...

So today is last day of affirmations.  I hope that you will continue to talk and think about yourself in positive terms and banish those negative thoughts.  And try smiling more!

Self portraits can be fun to do.  You can paint, draw, color, collage with paper or fabric, etc.  Here are a couple examples to give you some ideas...




For more ideas, check out the internet.  

To make a collage first you need a background, paper to draw or paint, watercolor paper for watercolors, heavy paper or cardboard for collage.  Paints and brushes.  Drawing pencils.  Glue and scissors for both paper and fabric collage.  Or, a sewing machine and thread for sewn fabric collage.  

There really is no limit to your imaginations and there is no right or wrong way to make your self portrait.  Take time to enjoy making your self portrait this weekend.  When your finished put it up where you can see it daily...and smile.

Talk with you on Monday...
