Week 11 - Tree of Life Bonus Lesson with Tam and Gracie

This week was all about celebrating our life connections. Connections with people, things, books. All the positive connections that we have.

And it turns out that I have a lot of positive connections.

Not only with my family, friends + acquaintances, but also with the things I surround myself with, music, books, art, the environment etc.

So this is my tree of life, and the stars are a representation of my positive connections.

Have you had a think about your positive life connections? I bet you will have more than you think.

By the way,  there is only a few days left to get any of my paintings in the LilliBean Designs store for up to 50% off.  

Do you know of any one who might enjoy one of my paintings? Please feel free to share the code with them.

Have a great week.

☆ The One Which I Have No Idea Where she Came From [Friday Art]

Tweet

Week 15, April 2014

So I loved painting my freer flowing watercolour from last week, that I wanted to do another one, but this one really surprised me.

Part of me doesn't even know what to say about her except that every time I look at her, I see something new every time I look at her. 

And that I love it.

And as I sit here with a head full of the first of the winter colds, slightly struggling writing this post, I realise that sometimes you don't have to say anything, sometimes your paintings can just speak for themselves!

I hope you all have a fabulous weekend.

☆ Decluttering your Life + the Super Sale Code [LilliBean Designs Spotlight]

Tweet

Is your clutter, cluttering up your mind, your life or your creative flow? 

Last week, subscribers to my newsletter received this exclusive code to get a HUGE 50% off everything in the LilliBean Designs Store + now I am opening the sale up to everyone!

And you may wonder why I am offering such a huge discount? Well this is why...

Is your clutter, cluttering up your mind, your life or your creative flow? 

And you  may wonder what clutter has to do with art + creativity, but I believe that it has everything to do with it.

See, with the upheaval we've experienced the first 3 months of 2014, which I won't bore you with again, our household fell into complete chaos. And lets face it, while I am not the worlds greatest house wife, [In fact I should totally be fired from that group!], our house is usually fairly tidy, but this last month it has totally spun out of control.

Every where I turned there was crap, the girls toys, my sketchbooks, Macs boots, school bags, hand bags, pencils + markers.

Crap. was. every. where.

So I rallied my gang and told them in no uncertain terms I was sorting our shit out, we were throwing things out, moving furniture around, having a garage sale + we had a week to sort it. 

It took the whole weekend, and it was amazing, how much lighter, freer + clearer I felt afterward.

So what does this have to do with being creative?

Well once I sorted the bomb that was my house + I had stopped obsessing over tit, my brain started flowing again + some awesome creative ideas began to appear.

I am always amazed how everything in my life is connected.

So if you are feeling blocked in one area of your life, (whether it's your creativity, your family, your friendships, your house), try decluttering somewhere else + I bet everything else will start to flow.

And now I am on a mission to declutter other areas of my life. And this is why I am offering 50% OFF everything in store

 But you only have until April 16 to use this code... so pop over to the store now.

And let me know if you've decluttered a part of your life... I would love to know how much freer your feel!
