8 Things to Share from this Happy Heart!
Friday, January 8, 2010 at 10:36AM 
I ♥ my iphone camera!
- I just got my Happy Heart Pin from Suz over at Surprise Delight Joy! I'm rockin' it in the self portrait above. I have several pins from Suz and I adore each one!
- I'm so excited to have gotten in on Jamie Ridler's next round of The Next Chapter. This time she's doing a mail around of The Happy Book.
- My happy heart is just bursting from the encouragement I'm getting from my new biggest cheerleader, Michelle Ward. She's amazing! I'm so happy to have her on my side and to cheer her on as well! Her energy is contagious. She's on my V.I.P. list of people that I want to be in the same room with sometime in the near future!
- I couldn't be happier for my good friends, Julie Prichard and Chris Cozen! Their new online workshop series, Project deConstruction launched today. Go watch the promo video on Julie's site and get this, registration for the first workshop is only $49 and they're having a huge giveaway for registrants that includes Chris's books and two Golden paint sets!
- I'm happily writing my Art Saves story this week to hand over to the CRESCENDOh team. So excited about Jenny Doh's new adventure and really pumped to be a small part of it.
- I'm happy to report that the book is coming along nicely. I've met my first deadline! Can I get a woohoo? Two huge boxes of art supplies arrived yesterday, so I'm knee deep in mixed media art making mania. (Say that five times fast!)
I'm having so much fun learning new tips, tricks and techniques from my amazingly talented contributors! (Check out the list in the sidebar on the left!) I'm loving taking all of these ideas and putting my own spin on them. And I just know you will too. If you're Seeking your own signature Artistic Style, then you're going to love all of the exercises, prompts and techniques in this book! - Mondo Beyondo begins on Monday! Feels like I've been waiting forever for this workshop! I'm so happy to finally get going with it. I'm ready to fully explore my biggest and scariest dreams!
- Speaking of Dreams, the Art and Dreams Bound Retreat in May is at the perfect time of year to take a break and take much needed and deserved R&R. Join us for a laid back weekend of dream exploration and art making!
What's in your Happy Heart and on your mind today?
Do share.
Happy Hearts Abound,
Carmen
