  1. What a fun giveaway! Oh gosh the biggest thing going on is our youngest just flew the coupe for the summer to play collegiate baseball. He will come home after for a few days and head off to his freshman year of college to play baseball. So adjusting to being empty nesters!
    Of course as much art as I can get in too!

    Wow! What a lot of goodies in your Gvieaway. I am already booked on your Photoplay course, so that is one plan for summer - really looking forward to it! It starts just after my holiday in South West Wales, where I will be exploring rock pools and making beach mandalas and labyrinths with my grandchildren.

  7. This summer is all about change and finding my way through. Im spending time thinking about my loss, packing up our home of 27 years and moving to a much smaller house on my own. Somewhere in that I have to find a new me.

    What a super giveaway. It's not summer in my neck of the woods, but holidays are upon us and it's the best time of the year to paint and craft with the cool weather.
    Love your blog Alisa.

  13. I dont really plan any more. I have a list that I use as a guide with no schedule attached. If I find myself with spare time, I look down the list and choose something that feels right. I add things to the list as I think of them and drop them off when I realise they are unnecessary. This leads to an interesting life with little stress and pressure.

    I occasionally set myself an interesting challenge, like competing in ART BATTLE last Friday - I didn't set a goal to win like I used to and so it was a fun evening in which I proved I can compete with student kids half my age and enjoy myself. I sold my painting and njoyed meeting lots of interesting young people.

    I will at some point be downsizing my clutter. I want to sell and tweak a lot of my older paintings. I'll be shabby chiquing and selling many pieces of furniture and making room in my home, storage, baalcony etc. I may remodel my bathroom and glass in my balcony. Assemble all my papers for pension application. Spend more time swimming and walking in the park. Practise Plein Air and get a flexible part time job to get me out of the house.

    There will be more that unfolds, possibly winning the giveaway and taking all those classes. :) Thanks for the opportunity.

    Wow!! This is an amazing couple of giveaways! I would be thrilled with either one! I plan on staying inside as much as possible this summer unfortunately. As close to my air conditioner as possible. We are having excessive heat warnings and it is dangerous to be outside. Today we are going to be 114 degrees and the rest of the week even hotter. I would love something like these fun courses to pass my time so at the end of this miserable summer I would have something wonderful to show for it! Thanks for the amazing opportunity! ~ Nickalli@gmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  172. I plan to spend as much time as I can this summer in my craft room drawing, painting, writing, making books and miniatures. To take classes on lettering would make my summer. I'm a one legged woman in a wheelchair and most of the classes here aren't very accessible. My husband is 22 years older than I am and is on at least his sixth lengthy round of chemo. I could use as much joy and lightness as I can bring into my summer. Keeping my fingers crossed for this drawing.
