Finding my way

I'm not really sure how to describe what I do , who I am? I think the title that fits me best is artist. I'm not a papercutter , a painter , a sketcher , a singer . I am all of those things and more. I am a creator. I worry tho that this could cause me to become a 'jack of all trades , master of none ' type of person. I DO  like to try new things , different mediums but I woukd like to focus and become GOOD at something. I think I have some natural talent but I think I need to learn to focus. Or maybe I don't? My biggest fault is over thinking . I need to relax , enjoy and create :)

How do you do it ?

Someone asked me that last night. They were referring to the fact that both my boyfriend and I perform in bands, we have 4 children between us, my boyfriend has his own business and I am just starting out as an artist. I don't really have an answer for 'how?' . In fact sometimes I don't think I am 'doing it' at all.. it sometimes feels like an up hill struggle. The thing is we just get on with it , we have faith that it will all work out and we accept that anything that doesn't get done today can always be done tomorrow. I guess we are quite relaxed about it all really but it seems to work for us! My boyfriend is so very supportive of my dreams and ambitions , and I of his. I am a lucky girl :)

Happy Easter

To those that celebrate Happy Easter! We don't go to church but we do talk about the easter story as we as enjoy scoffing all the chocolate goodness ! Though us adults don't actually have any eggs of our own the children certainly have more than enough to share! I've noticed on Facebook that Easter is becoming more and more like Christmas with the easter bunny visiting over night and leaving a pile of gifts not just chocolate ! When did this tradition start evolving as I think I missed the memo? My children got one egg each and they know it was from me! In a fit of guilt induced panic I did make them each a little pile of eggs to see this morning including the ones gifted to them from family members and friends but again they know who they are from ! Am I just a terrible mother for not getting involved in it more ? Anyway here is a little easter inspired paper cut to show that I am not a complete grinch ! ;)
