Can you believe it's July already? I have been contemplating my goals for this month and decided I should add a few things that I keep meaning to do but never quite get around to.
1. Visit a museum or art exhibit.
2. Go to the free summer movies that are starting up in July (even if I have to go alone!).
3. Get some stickers & colored paper from the Dollar Store & make something with them.
4. Walk down to the lake at least once a week.
5. Finish 4 books.
6. Sleep outside under the stars (of course, this requires that it actually stops raining!).
7. Visit the local farmer's market.
8. Watch 4 movies from my birth year (1979!).
9. Start brainstorming Christmas card designs.
10. Work on a YouTube tutorial about using a Wacom tablet.
11. Browse through a used bookstore.
12. Knit 10 hats for my knitting shop.
13. Get 5 more template designs and 10 more Etsy banner designs into my design shop.
14. Try again to get a really good star trails photo.

Do you take artist's dates? Where do you go? What do you do?
Sidenote --> Some of these are inspired by the concept of an "artist's date", which I thought I'd blogged about before, but I guess I haven't. The basic idea is to take your creative self on a date, so to speak ($5 or less!). No one else is allowed to join you. Just go somewhere that will inspire you, refresh you, or otherwise caters to your whimsical, childlike sense of fun. Basically it's a great way to keep yourself inspired and in touch with your creative side and can also help with any creative blocks you might be having!

Good goals! I'm trying to get a lot of reading done this summer, too! Going to a museum or two is also part of my plan :-)
ReplyDeleteI had so much fun when I went on my artist's date and got so much on sale scrapbooking stuff!
