Greetings Friends, hope all is well with you this New Year! Our family has had a busy year, probably like yours, the up - the downs, the good, the bad and the ugly. I am thankful for all the lessons I have learned, the friends I have made, and continue to make.
It has been a while since I posted last...I believe I was getting ready for my son to move home, he moved home...then he moved out...then he got married...it was an exciting year to say the least! Zach and Sasha just celebrated their 1st year of marriage in December and I found out in November I am going to be a "Me-me." aka "grammy"~ I am very excited about that. My son and his wife live in Canada for now. I hope to persuade them to come back to the states.
A new year brings about new beginnings, new ideas, new dreams, new clothes, new diet plans, and the list goes on and on. I am very thankful for the past year. It's been a good year, and a year of learning lessons. We are
always learning lessons, aren't we?
God has allowed me the privilege to speak at different events last year and to share the gift of art. It was an exciting, overwhelming year.
This year brings new beginnings for our family. Two of my boys will be going to a private school for the very first time...they are in 7th and 8th grade. We have home schooled all these years until January. As a home school momma, I am a bit nervous letting my little birds fly the coop, so to speak, but also know, it will be a good experience for them. I will have one boy at home with me.
I had the privilege of teaching many art classes from My Joyful Art Studio to some wonderful children. They learned to paint like the Master's, Kadinsky, Monet, Van Gogh, and O'Keefe. They also learned how to make a Mixed Media Christmas tree, and many other projects over the summer and school year. It really was an exciting year.
I signed up to take a class with the wonderful Christy Tomlinson from scarletlime.com and Junelle Jacobson from www.yesandamenblog@blogspot.com this past year. They are two amazing artists. I am also really excited to be taking a class with Jeanne Oliver from www.jeanneoliverdesigns.com~~~I am one busy gal for sure. This class starts January 14th.
I will be hosting a Mixed Media Art Class for Women on January 10th. We will be creating a piece of wall art for ourselves or to gift...
What are your plans and creative ideas for the NEW YEAR??? I would love to hear them. You can also connect with me on facebook at My Joyful Art Studio...Do you have a word for the year to focus on? What is it? Mine is "Enjoy." More to come on that...Enjoy...
love N prayers~~~Meagan
