Hello Monday! Hello MoJo!

"The Tell Tale Heart" Hand-carved lino print by Kellee Wynne Conrad

Funny thing happens when you confess your shortcomings and spill your weaknesses publicly. It lights a fire under your butt to go do something about it! In my Friday post I lamented my lack of motivation and fears of facing some of the plans that I have been yapping a lot about and failing to following through with. When the post was sent out to the world that day, it must have released the little doubting demons because I got to work on my hopes and dreams right away.

Lucky for me I have a long list of ideas. Unfortunately for me I have a long list of ideas. I know I can't possibly go down every path my mind seams to wander, but I know with a little effort and lots of practice the right path will present itself. Right now I am enjoying hand-carved lino cut prints (from original designs), sketching, and water color. Next week I might be back into pastel or collage. Someday I will be brave enough to pick up the oil paints. But the good news is that I am doing it, and it's even better knowing that you are here to see as it unfolds.

Accountability is a surprising motivator and because of that I have decided to dedicate my new Monday post to sharing my creations with you. (Wow, what did I just commit to?) And a celebration of this new commitment I am happily giving away a copy of my new lino print to everyone who leaves a comment! Or follow me on my new Facebook page and leave a suggestion for what I should carve next.  Just remember I need your address and you can send that to me through my e-mail. And don't be shy about sharing my blog with your friends. Thank-you so much for you support! And enjoy this beautiful Monday!
