after typing up that list i remembered several other things that need added, but i'll resist and hope they float around up there in the 'ol noggin a few days longer without me forgetting. wishful thinking, that is.
believe it or not, in the midst of all that freelance work, i still work outside the home 5 hours a day. but, such is the life of a freelance artist. a huge lull between assignments, and then a down pour. happens every december as everyone gears up for the big trade show of the year. i'm used to it at this point. the season wouldn't feel the same without all the deadlines.
i THRIVE on deadlines. and to-do lists. i'm weird that way.
"i, tania, do solemnly swear to take time to breathe, and relax, and not stress, and be present, AND do fun art projects with the kids whenever they ask, while whittling away at the List."
anywho.
speaking of to-do lists.......and deadlines.........i gotta scoot and get marking a few things off. happy wednesday!

ReplyDeleteTania...your the greatest... to be able to give as generously as you do is remarkable.... thank you so much...i received my package yesterday again thank you so much i have to sign of now as i'm cooking today for a hundred people...so i have to scoot...see ya.
ReplyDeleteTania, I totally understand what you mean by working better under pressure. I do better with deadlines when they are tight. I think I like the stress LOL You will do it all. IYou always do :)
ReplyDeleteI think we all need to SLOW down and enjoy life more!
ReplyDeleteI find such satisfaction in checking things off my to do list. Not sure why, especially when sometimes it takes me as long to write it on my list as it does to do it! :) ~ML
ReplyDeleteGood luck with getting your list whittled down. We are having your loaded potato soup for dinner tonight!
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine all the to do list you have. I can't seem to finish mine even when I stay on task! Thank you for another great giveaway.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for the giveaways! It's our slow season right now; I'm an accountant. Most of our work is done in the first 5 months of the year. So I'm taking it easy now, but will be getting ready to make all of my "to do" lists very soon.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway...Slowing things down and enjoying this holiday with my family is one of my goals this year. Sometimes we get so wrapped up in everything else and forget the important stuff.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness...what a busy time for you...just hang in there it will be over soon! Love your art!!!

Oh my goodness. Your list is long. Need to take several more DEEP breaths. Take care. And thanks for doing the giveaway in the mist of busy schedule.
ReplyDeleteI KNOW I do better with lists and deadlines... ;)
ReplyDeleteI definitely agree with the list thing! I make LOTS of lists! I don't put as much scrapbook time in as I do with deadlines either! I LOVE online weekend crops! I can get more done in one weekend than in two months! LOL :)
ReplyDeleteI think we all forget to stop and breathe. we rush around like crazy and then wonder why we are soooo exausted.
ReplyDeletestop, take a deep breath, just think, it will soon be all over, another 8 more days, God bless #5012 EVE
ReplyDeleteSo now it is official, you are just way more motivated than I am :) I am impressed and in awe! Also glad to see that your kids and family are your first priority. That is so easy to forget since they move to the side more easily and calmly than outside things. You are doing GREAT!
ReplyDeleteTania, I don't know how you keep up with your busy work schedule and mom to 2 young girls. Thank you
ReplyDeletefor such a great blog... I enjoy reading it everyday!
We're alike in that way, I LOVE to do lists too...
ReplyDeleteI'm all about lists too. But not deadlines. I don't care much for deadlines. :)
ReplyDeleteYour husband sounds like he loves a good laugh.
ReplyDeleteWow your scraproom must have been filled to the rafters...lol you are very generous.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas

ReplyDeleteGood luck in meeting your deadlines. I work best under pressure myself, motivates me to get things done without pushing them off.
