[ArtMind]

Hello all,

The past weekend was deliciously relaxing. I did things that I
normally don’t do like helping a friend take out her stone floor in
her apartment. A great stress reliever. I hammered like a mad woman
and after 3 hours my whole body was acking and I even had a blister on
my hands. It felt good to have done so much physical activity though.
And on sunday I made a large, large family crumble to take to a party
at my sister’s home. It was a fun family gathering with too much food…
I crocheted granny squares and watched a movie on tv. Bliss!

Last monday I finally took some time to get my application for Lark
books out. I took new pictures and filled out all the requirements.
You can read about it here: http://artmind-etcetera.blogspot.com/2009/11/lark-books.html
And I also packed up the first production package for my secret
collaboration partner. I’m really excited about this and can’t wait
till she receives it & let me know her thoughts. I actually dreamed
that she hated it all – talk about nightmares… Soon we will have to
reveal who she is – too bad as I loved keeping it secret!

The remaining part of the week, I clayed and glazed and blogged and
did my daily routines. I also thought about spring already. I’d like
to plan a few workshops at home so I’m trying things out to see how it
will go time wise and to show also what final product can be made.
If you live in my vicinity and would like to know more about what and
when, please sent me an e-mail so I can put you on my workshop-
mailinglist. I will sent out more information as soon as I'm ready for
it.

And today I wrote my final Secret Santa post for the European
Streeteam. I’ll be retiring from this task and announce the new Secret
Swap chief in my blog: http://artmind-etcetera.blogspot.com/2009/12/secret-santa-wants-to-know.html

This morning I got a few suggestions from people on what to do on my
birthday. I was smiling all the time I opened the envelopes and read
them.
I will certainly share them on my blog & let you know what I chose.
You can still sent me your suggestions and that way win a very special
feeling: http://artmind-etcetera.blogspot.com/2009/11/in-search-for-fun-ideas.html

Hope you are all in good spirits and enjoying life!
Happy weekend to you all!
Love,
Mitsy
