i made 3 layouts tonight! ok, that's kind of a lie. 1 of the layouts i'd pretty much already made, just had to [finally] add the photo. the pictures are crappy, since i still haven't managed to really learn how to take awesome pictures with my camera [i know the camera is capable of amazingness, it's clearly me that's inept]. the 3rd one is my favorite but of course it's the one that blogger is not posting (seriously i ALWAYS have issues posting) ... but it's on my flickr. here they are:

i wrote out a whole entry about a lot of stuff and then deleted it.

i reminded myself that i should make art about it, not write about it. hah. we'll see if it gets anywhere.

and now i'm re-writing to share with you the work of very talented jewelry designer Timothy Meier.

Tim's work is amazing, i really can't say enough good things about him. his work is unique, creative, and stunning. he's great to work with and very dedicated to his craft.

just thought i'd share the work of an incredible artist & my blog friends!!

on another note:
eeek, so excited for my printmaking class tonight!
i think i'll stop by paper tales before if i have time, since it's right down the road.

2009, you're looking good.

i am excited to announce that i've quit my job. my last day is feb 5. i can't wait! i feel a huge sense of relief & know that a huge source of my unhappiness has now been taken care of. it's not over - this journey of healing & growing & loving & learning ... but it's never really over, and i'm ok with that.

i am thinking about taking a printmaking class through the adult ed courses ... it's only $51, it's 6 weeks long on wednesday evenings (6-8) ... i want to take a class, and i'm a little late since the semester is starting this week ... so we'll see. it's open registration. i was looking to take a graphic design class, but that will wait until the summer i suppose.

in the next few weeks i'll be moving. i'm packing up, organizing, purging. it's a slow process, but i know it's good for me. i know it's something i need to do. in the process i hope to clear my head a little bit and make phycial, mental & emotional room for new beginnings ... new projects & roads to explore.

things are good.
