Back in the Groove
The holidays are past and a new year , like a blank sheet of paper or canvas, is open and ready for the creativity and the many possibilities that may come.
I have a list of things to accomplish, but the moving forward is slow. I am stuck in statue mode and know that in order to get back in the groove, I must start with at least one project. Writing this blog is one them. I don’t know if anyone reads these blogs I write, but if nothing else they are a way to unstick my brain and make clear the path and direction I need to take.
I have a card line with over 43 designs for birthdays, holidays and other special occasions such as “ just because”. I must keep the line fresh with new designs. This year I have a new card titled “Hearts” that can be used for Valentine’s Day but also for an any occasion day. I will be working on a new birthday card and Christmas card. Perhaps a new Mother’s Day card as well. My cards are available in several shops and also on this website.
Some of the cards in my funkybirch line on display, along with my 3 books, at one of the shops that carry them.
Books…….I have 2 manuscripts that I hope to publish as books, at least 1 this year. Last year became busier than I expected and I did not have the time needed to move forward with either of them. One is completely written and in need of the illustrations. The other is somewhat written with some illustrations done. I seem to be hesitating to get back in the groove with putting pencil and paint to paper. I have 3 books published and selling well in bookstores, shops, amazon and on this website. I had published them in 2019, 2020 and 2021. I did not publish in 2022,. Like with anything else, if you don’t stay current and fresh, you are soon forgotten. So finishing and publishing a new book this year is a must!!!
My 3 books I LOVE MY SOCKS (2019), The Snowman Choir (2020), and the The Bears’ Halloween Ball ( 2021).
Time for me to get back in the saddle, back on the path and back in the groove. Happy creating and stay motivated! Believe in the possibility of anything being able to be. Catherine
