<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">Last year (2016) was the first year I did Vlogmas and during the process of filming myself every day, I learnt *a lot*... so much so I had an Epiphany, which I made a video about.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="270" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/HIx4ynPxKVI" width="480"></iframe><br /></div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="color: black;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><o:p>In the video I talk about my word of the year for 2016 and m</o:p></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";">y word last year was "Me". I wanted to try and focus more on myself; on my health, my enjoyment, my fulfilment,
rather than others... which is what I always have done previously. </span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">I specifically chose the word ME, rather than
"self-love" or "self-care" as I was formally diagnosed with ME earlier
in 2015 and I wanted to claim the word ME back for myself... rather than it just being this
label I had been given for the illness I
had been struggling with for the last few years.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">After re-watching the video this
morning, I initially thought, <em>"wow I never really moved onto to looking after me
much this year did I?". </em></span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">Did I let go
of anything?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No, not really.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Work is still the same, home life is still the
same, parental care is still the same, charity commitments are still the same, and I'm <span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;">still
lacking in hobby time... so, seemingly, everything is still the same. </span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-family: "calibri" , "sans-serif"; line-height: 115%;"></span></span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">But then I remembered, in summer, on
good weather days, I started to carve out time to sit in the sun on the new
decking, I sat in the conservatory every now and then reading a book... not
often, not daily... but I did occasionally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I also watched all the Tennis tournaments.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love tennis but don't make the time to watch it,
this year I did, following Andy Murray entirely through the season.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">I also spent
the whole year of going to Kings College Hospital for ME Treatment every two weeks and part of that treatment involved having psychotherapy,
which has been extremely eye opening for me. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Since becoming ill with ME, I suffer from
extreme anxiety which has been very limiting and getting to understand that
better has been definitely an revelation for me.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">So... as much as I didn't give up
work, get a cleaner and just make art every day... I definitely did started
focusing more on myself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> So t</span>here was actually quite a bit of
forward momentum on that front!</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">But I still
have too much stuff on my plate, it seems I just can't be "not busy"!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">So I've been thinking about my job, <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>do I still want it?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What does it give me?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes, obviously I earn money from it, but some
months I've earnt more selling stuff on eBay than I have at work. And as I've
said previously, we, as a household, don't need the money... however I do like
to pay my way and have an independent income.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">But there is
so much I still want to do and having a job keeps me anchored or committed to something that I'm not necessarily passionate about.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> So </span>I went into work on the Wednesday before
Christmas and had a chat with my manager about it; they are such a lovely
company to work for and I think that's the reason I stay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>He
said "but you're like family"... and I agree, we are like a family...so whatever I decide, that
factor alone makes the decision hard.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">So what do I enjoy?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Well...I enjoy making YouTube videos... because I love the interaction
with subscribers, the sharing of knowledge with others on the same journey as
myself. </span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">However, I
definitely don't to be a big youtuber because some YouTube viewers are just a bit too
judgemental.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There are too many keyboard
warriors, spreading hate for no reason.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I don't want to worry about being judged by strangers on the internet
who have dogs as their profile pictures and have never uploaded a video in their
life!</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">I mean look at me, I is what I is! I
don't wear makeup, I have crooked teeth, mad hair, a saggy jaw... I'm not <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>here to compete with make-up gurus or 30
something housewife's with perfect hair, perfect teeth and perfect homes!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don't need to be told I have too much stuff
(not as much as others buster!) or that I "should get my teeth
fixed". I mean, b</span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">limey, I'm
50 this year... if I haven't paid to have perfectly straight fake teeth by
now... I doubt I'm going to bother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Life
is too short for me to worry about looking perfect all the time and I don't want
to deal with people telling me that I should be worried about those things.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">I'm just living my life and sharing
it as I go, this is as real as it gets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I'm not a master of anything, I don't profess to know how to do anything...
I'm just sharing my journey. </span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">The reason I
started making my decluttering videos because I wanted to be held accountable...
and it seems to work.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Knowing I have to
make a video about the next phase of decluttering, keeps me motivated to move
onto the next phase of decluttering!</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">Anyway... I've rambled too much,
this post is supposed to be about my goals for 2017 and my word of the year. </span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">I've been
choosing a word of the year since 2011, when my word was "Balance" as
back then I was struggling with balancing work and homelife. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My word for 2015 was Simplify as I started to
strip back on consumerism and also on focus more on less processed, whole foods.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">And so what it my word for this
year?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>In November I really thought my
word of the year was going to be "Focus" because I wanted to carry
over the self-care part of last years word ...but Focus on it more.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I also wanted to focus on other pursuits, be
more mindful, more aware... and focus seemed to encompass everything.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But for some reason the word never stuck, it
never felt right.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">And then in
early December, as I was having my last therapy session of the year, my word
hit me like a ton of bricks... I'd been saying it for the last few weeks about
various things and I realised it was the word I wanted to take me through 2017.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">For the last few years I have been
drifting through life; working too hard, consuming to much, eating, sleeping, being
distracted by life, going to bed and getting up the next day, rinse and
repeat.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Following trends, buying stuff
because that's what we are told to do, having a craft room full of stuff
because that's what crafters do, buying books I see advertised and leaving the
unread, following along like a consumeristic sheep.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">I remember
when the urge to break the cycle came, it was early in the year, when I was
making a "look how many planners I have" video.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I was sickened by my own consumerism.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I had bought into the "it's okay to have
20 planners because you swap them out like handbags" theory... but its not
really ok is it? It's unnecessary.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
didn't have that many handbags!</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">Having 20 planners does not add
value to my life.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And remember I'm
talking about me here, not you, not your collection of planners... your collection
may add value to you life but for me, it was the straw that broke the camel's
back, the realisation that I had been buying stuff I didn't really need...
probably for the last 8+ years or so... really since I had become ill and my
ability to travel had been limited.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I
had been keeping myself distracted with stuff... probably to fill a void.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="font-family: "calibri";">And so</span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;"> I woke
up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I realised that my house was full
of crap from clearing out my in-law's house in 2009, 2010 and again in 2015 and I
also had a craft room packed to the gunnels of stuff that I had been collecting for
the last 10+ years, because that's what all my crafter friends did too.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">And once I was awake... I was
awake!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I could see the wood for the
trees, I could see what had value and what did not, I could see what I wanted
in my life and what I did not.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And I was
falling over myself to clear the clutter.</span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">I started
with the 30 bags in 30 days and it wasn't enough, more and more stuff needed to
go. My eyes were open I could see the stuff that had been pushed in every
corner, piled on shelves and hidden inside cupboards for the last 15 years and
I wanted it all gone!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Why on earth had we
kept some of these things?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">With 15 years worth of stuff in the
house I had to rein myself in, I focused on the craft room because I knew that
once that room was done, I'd be able to spend time in there and actually enjoy
the things I chose to keep. </span></span></span><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">And that's
where I am today... sitting in my gorgeous craft room and looking forward to
using it in 2017 and making this new Epiphany video for 2017.</span></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt; text-align: left;">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">I am awake and it's an amazing feeling!</span></span></span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 10pt;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">So what can
you expect from me in 2017?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">More decluttering videos for
sure.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have a garage and a attic full
of crap and they need to be cleared out before the end of March.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I am scared of sharing the attic with you as
it is an embarrassing hidey-hole of crap... but if I want to continue to use
youtube as my accountability partner, then I must swallow the embarrasment and
take the camera up there.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>No judging!</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">I will hopefully
also get to make more art and share more art videos... but then I said that
last year too, so lets see what happens!</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">One thing you won't see from me is
haul videos. I won't be hauling anything, I've deciding to do a no spend for
January, February and March and I will continue to sell things both on Facebook
and eBay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>On that note, and after
requests, I may start a Facebook group where my craft and planner items will be
listed for sale.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;">And that's
about it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>My goals for 2017 are to
continue to be awake and enjoy the meaningful things in life! </span></span></span><span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: "calibri";"><span style="color: black;"><span style="font-size: small;">Happy New
Year to you all!<o:p></o:p></span></span></span></span></div>

<strong></strong><br />
Just like the <a href="http://amzn.to/2c9QCHO" target="_blank">Neverending Story</a> (ahah ahahah ahahah) my art and craft book declutter goes on and on and on and on! Today I go through my Children's Drawing Books and Colouring Books.<br />
<br />
Now... I was into colouring before it was all the rage, so the colouring books include some children's colouring books and some of the more recent adult colouring books too.<br />
<br />
My copy of the Secret Garden Colouring book was purchased from <a href="http://track.webgains.com/click.html?wglinkid=563359&wgcampaignid=201429&js=0" target="_blank">Cass Art</a> in London. I absolutely love that shop and highly recommend a visit if you are in London... well that's if you love arty painty supplies! They also now have an online store, which (amazingly) they still sell at the same great prices they do in store! <br />
<br />
Oh... and there's also another giveaway! This time with two prizes: <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">

Just a short video today, mainly because I forgot about the calligraphy books stashed under the desk, so decided to make this video just about my calligraphy books.

<br />
It's time for a change! Finally! We've lived in this house for 16 years now... <strong>16 YEARS!... </strong>where did that time go? I remember how keen we were when we first moved in; ripping up carpets, replacing fireplaces, having double glazing fitted, tiling the kitchen floor, boarding the eaves of the loft, painting the lounge, the hallway, the upper landing, the stairs... all while both working full time (and some!). <br />
<br />
And then we stopped. Why? Did we stagnate? Did our circumstances change? Probably yes to both of those... but in all reality I'm finding it hard to remember why we went from pouring lots of energy into making the house "ours" to settling with where it was. <br />
<br />
Maybe its because the next steps were all "big ones"... you know like removing water tanks, playing with water pipes... big scary things that can go wrong! Actually I seem to remember the last thing we had done was the double glazing... and my what a nightmare that was! I think that's when we become scared of having more "big stuff" done!<br />
<br />
But now its time... time to make things how <strong>we</strong> want them... and I'm starting with my playroom...ahem...I mean art room/craft room/scrapbooking room, whatever you want to call it!<br />
<br />
I'm going to share my whole craft room update and decluttering journey on YouTube (obviously!) and to begin... here's the before tour....<br />

<br />
It's Filofax Friday! Well kinda. I'm too poorly sick to edit the video... but as luck would have it my Kikki.K order arrived today as I was about to retire to my bed for the day, so I filmed this quick haul. <br />
<br />
Unedited, direct to camera, apologies for the polythene rattling! Enjoy!

<br />
Happy New Year! We made it and...phew...Its over! Vlogmas that is!<br />
<br />
I now have massive kudos for daily vloggers... well those that work, are trying to deal with late running renovations, a poorly family and the large and looming threat of Christmas! <br />
<br />
Finding the time to download the footage, edit the video and upload the video to YouTube after some long days was hard... which is probably why I missed a few days! ;)<br />
<br />
If you want to see the whole lot from beginning to end, here's a link to my <a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPLbjMkxE00L6VE0ysi7VXQkeovidfOWc" target="_blank">Vlogmas Playlist</a><br />
<br />
I learnt *a lot* during this period of video myself... and am about to make a video on what I learnt, my goals for 2016 and my word of the year. Hopefully I'll have that video up tomorrow!<br />
<br />
Enjoy!<br />

<br />
What is Vlogmas I hear you ask? Well its that special time of year when YouTubers vlog ("video Blog") every day in December in the lead up to Christmas... sort of like a video advent calendar, if you like!<br />
<br />
I've enjoyed watching various YouTubers Vlogmases over the last 3 or 4 years and thought it looked like fun......so... I've decided to take part in Vlogmas this year!<br />
<br />
I've never made any DITL (Day in the Life) videos before, but...well... I want to see what happens in December. I have just finished editing yesterday's video, and that's just about to be uploaded... its 40min! Not sure I'll jibber jabber that much in the other videos! I'm still learning remember, I'm a fledgling vlogger lol!<br />
<br />
I'm hoping my Vlogmas will be half arty/crafty and half my real life. Just depends which one gets precedence really! With all that's going on at the moment, I'm not sure there will be time for much Art and Craft!<br />
<br />

<br />
Oooo the excitement when I heard some of the US Art Gang were coming over to the UK! Although they were only going to be in London for one and half days, I had to make the effort to meet up with them. However, their one full and free day in London was a day that I had a hospital visit booked! Dang! <br />
<br />
However, as luck would have it, the hotel the girls were staying in was just 20 minutes up the road in Docklands, so on Sunday I popped into Docklands to meet the lovely Happy Diane and the <a href="http://scrappycampersisters.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">ScrappyCamper Sisters</a><br />
<br />
Here's the short vlog I made!<br />

I found a great little challenge on the <a href="http://artfultimes.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Artful Times blog</a> hosted by Neet and Von, and just had to join in.<br />
<br />
Challenge 21 is all about creating an ATC based on Time... and so here is mine!<br />
<br />
I started by using Alcohol Inks on glossy card and then used blending solution through a stencil to create a ghost clock image. I then stamped off the edges of the card using a Tim Holtz clock stamp and Ranger Archival Ink in Coffee and also inked the edges of the card.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8234/8396503714_f3582ee8b9_m.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8234/8396503714_f3582ee8b9_m.jpg" /></a>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I finished the ATC with a printed and inked phrase and added Tim Holtz metal clock hands to the ghostly clock image. </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8372/8395418055_bd12d2c23b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8372/8395418055_bd12d2c23b.jpg" width="288" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thanks for the challenge Neet and Von look forward to seeing what everyone creates!</div>

<br />
The challenge was to use Portfolio Oil Pastels (or other watersoluble media / crayons), PaperArtsy Stamps and be inspired by the series of tags created by <a href="http://helenchilton.blogspot.co.uk/" target="_blank">Helen Chilton</a>. It was great to see the different techniques used by Helen (and if you want to see some fabby tags inspired by these techniques visit my fellow CV member Sam21Ski's Blog for great examples of <a href="http://sam21ski.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/wax-scrapings.html" target="_blank">Wax Scraping</a> and <a href="http://sam21ski.blogspot.co.uk/2013/01/artbar-blended-backgrounds.html" target="_blank">Blended Background</a> Tags - just beautiful!)<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
So... onto my attempt... however I am rather challenged in the PaperArtsy stamp department as I have just four of their stamps that were purchased long, long ago when the world {and PaperArtsy} were young.<br />
<br />
Not to be deterred, I made two backgrounds by blending the Portfolio Oil Pastels, using stamping and stenciling. Following along with Helen's examples, I then stamped the PA Ink and The Dog Mini 'Man' stamp onto acetate and attached it to the background. I then tried to layer a second stamped image onto the background but noticed that I had the image reversed... but surprisingly liked the fact that layered images created a completely different looking man!<br />
<br />

My stream slot was the midnight hour in the UK where, amongst the mayhem, HRH made a speech and partied on down (edited highlights can be watched on this <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhwfNQV20gg" target="_blank">YouTube video</a>), the chimes of Big Ben were played lived from the BBC... and we undertook a 2012 Quiz with a question (and prize!) for each month.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Here's the Quiz Questions, the answers and the name of the person who won the prize for that question. <em>(Winners: If you haven't contacted me already, please email me your ustream name, real name and postal address, so I can send you your prize!)</em></div>
