i hate it when i make mistakes...

I seriously hate it when I make mistakes...usually I try really hard to remember things and get them right...but lately I have noticed I tend to make errors here and there.  I guess that's all human, but it bugs the crap out of me when I do.  And I am just talking about silly little shipping errors to customers, or not shipping the right thing...I guess I just want to make everyone happy and I hate it when I don't comply to what they ask for.  So if I messed up your order lately, my apologies!!  I try to fix it as soon as it happens.  

As my painting says...I am grateful, and do have joy even when I make silly mistakes!   Of course when you make a mistake with a painting, you can cover it up and start over; well unless it's a watercolor--not so forgiving then.  

I invite you to share in the experience of Make Something Beautiful our first ever art e-course.  We are pretty much set up and are just about ready for filming.  I have also invited a few other artist to share some of their techniques with students as well; hopefully they will accept and become a part of this.  

I love the collaboration with my daughter; it's really an experience I am going to treasure.  Trust me this girl has taught me so much; you will be sure to learn from her as well.  In the midst of mistakes I have made; this adventure takes over with much joy and jubilation!  Don't let the small stuff get you down; it's just a speck of dust in your day...this is what I have to tell myself...so I don't feel like I disappointed someone with my errors.  Now I think it may be time to add some Ginkgo biloba  to my diet for forgetfulness.....great is this expected for someone who will be turning 50 this year??
