Weekend List:
1. Buy a camera
2. Buy my son new jeans
3. Attend several birthday parties including one in which I get to eat wonderful food and another which involves laser tag.
4. Photograph and upload some of my art journal pages.
Decluttering targets that need to be accomplished:
1. My linen closet
2. My closet
3. My bedroom in general
Well, I managed to get my son jeans and go to birthday parties and eat wonderful food. I played laser tag and in the first game managed to come in behind my husband (codename Viper), my daughter (codename Fang) and my son (codename Fender). That Fang kid rocks at laser tag. I think it's because she's so little she manages to duck under all those lasers and sneak up on more people. I stepped it up a notch in the second game and was ranked 6th overall, which is awesome for me, but now I have a blister on my trigger finger. I'm just not cut out for these violent sports!
And then there was the decluttering list too. I only managed to do one table in my bedroom.
Heaps of snow arrived yesterday so I didn't leave the house so no new camera and I made the mistake of picking up another Harry Potter book so I haven't managed to do anything productive since that time. I should finish the book today though so that will only leave two more in the series. Hopefully I can finish them by the weekend and get back on with art. Although my husband brought Twilight home and is reading it. I may be forced to read that next...

Recycling/Reusing Sweaters
I have been wanting to find some ideas for remaking or repurposing some of the lovely sweaters I have that aren't really fashionable anymore or just don't fit me right. I found this lovely list already compiled at Always Christi. I'm hoping to find some time this weekend to work on one of them.
Pictures of my stack of sweaters awaiting rebirth to come, as soon as I get that new camera.

The Blog Lull
Well, I still have no working camera and blog posts are pretty boring without photos. I've been working on a 2011 Art Journal and really like some of my pages but my cell phone takes horrible photos.
I'm currently enjoying catching up on Kristy's 365 Day Jar Project and plan to continue to follow this throughout the year. I have really enjoyed some past 365 day projects from other artists and would love to find my own but given my schedule, I'm wondering if perhaps that is a bit ambitious. Perhaps I should try a 52 week blog post project?! Once a week for the next year sounds like a good goal.

3. Attend several birthday parties including one in which I get to eat wonderful food and another which involves laser tag.

No Frills Prompt: Empty
No coffee left to sustain me
But plenty of work left to detain me
And many blogs to entertain me
So I must seek a refill
I've been wanting to do Tammy's No Frills Friday Prompts but I never seem to get around to it. I decided that the first goofy thing to pop into my head when I heard the prompt would just have to suffice.
"It is inhumane, in my opinion, to force people who have a genuine medical need for coffee to wait in line behind people who apparently view it as some kind of recreational activity."~ Dave Barry
(Also from Daisy Yellow this week - loved it!)
Back to Jan 1st Please
It's mid-February and I need a reminder that I made some goals! I'm already falling off the wagon.
1. Simplify
2. Exercise
Goal for the weekend - both! Declutter and exercise.
Decluttering targets that need to be accomplished:
1. My linen closet
2. My closet
3. My bedroom in general
I'm hoping to incorporate some regular decluttering in to my weekly cleaning schedule. I really need that. I found this list helpful. I have too much furniture in my bedroom and I would love to get rid of two pieces. Not sure where to put them and I'm not sure I'm ready to give them up. I would love to get rid of some furniture but am at the point where most of what's left is a family heirloom/antique and that makes it harder.
