Starting Restoration :)

I was so excited for this last week to start. Giddy...like a school girl before the first day. I gathered my supplies, squealed with delight when I opened my kit, talked at endless length to Hubs about all the exciting things bound to happen in the coming weeks. I was ready for this! It was finally time to start... 

Soul Restoration. 

I can't tell you how much I adore Melody Ross. Everything has been so wonderfully positive, uplifting and beautiful. When I heard about
Brave Girls Camp here, here, and here. Then some more fabulousness here & here. I couldn't imagine anything better. I have been on many church retreats and it is so special when a collection of women, beautiful women come together and share with each other. Magic...right? Pure magic. I am so happy to be a part of this online camp! If I can't be in the mountains of Idaho - online with my new, brave girlfriends is perfect. 

Funny thing is on Tuesday I had a hard time starting the work. I wasn't necessarily overwhelmed or scared...but just kind of, I don't know - blocked? I was sooooo excited. The first week curriculum - AMAZING. But, there I sat staring at all my gorgeous supplies and blank pages. Does that happen to you?  I kept telling myself to just start...come on...slap some paint on there. But instead, I decided my house needed a cleaning and I organized my art supplies!

Cabinet Supplies

 Oh Yes! Then the following day when I had a perfect time (during LoveBug's nap) to sit down, get my favorite sparkling water, turn up the tunes, and get started.... I felt we needed some of these babies...

They lasted a couple hours

So I cleaned, I organized, I baked, I avoided! What in the world? Finally, on Friday night I sat down after the kids were in bed and spent a couple hours on my projects. Once I got started - the flood gates of creativity opened and I felt my "mojo" return! I so anticipated the beginning of class that I threw myself into some kind of creative funk. Well, I can tell you that I am glad it returned. I can't wait for next week!!! 

Creative juices flowing again!

They are planning another session of Soul Restoration in April. You will love it - I promise! :) The Brave Girls Community is up and running now too. It is a great place to connect with other lovely, creative souls!! :)

Thank you so much for my sweet birthday comments. Gives me "warm fuzzies!" :)

Off to my creative spot! 

XOXO,
