Nightwolf's Den

Well here we are, the end of August.

The grand plans to use the Xbox more never happened. By the time Miss K had gone to bed and finally went to sleep neither hubby or I could be bothered. Yup lazy 😉

I’m still doing the AH Beard Sleep Challenge. So far, so good.

I have been taking time on Saturdays to be more spiritual. The Creative Goddess course lasted a week but I do have a plan for an awesome Goddess canvas. I just need to get motivated to finish it. I started the Goddess Haven e-course in the last week of the month so will continue it into September.

I have been keeping up with the artist date with myself on Sundays. Loving having quiet time to scrapbook or read or art journal. I’ve even spent some time creating during the day & Miss K loves spending time with her craft box and crafting with mum.

Oh I also took part in the #tgdmselfieaday but that’s another post.

Next month’s plans?

Two classes at Big Picture Classes – Project Life Lessons and Big Ideas Festival – Celebrate your childhood memories in 30 prompted lists (this one is FREE). 30 Days of Lists. Continuing the Goddess Haven e-course. Hopefully playing with our new camera – finally buying a dslr!

What’s your plans?

I’ve got so many plans for the month of August.

Health wise I’m going to get back into doing some exercise. The plan is to start using the Xbox again and work out using both Your Shape: Fitness Evolved & Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2012. (plus a little Kinect Sports, Angry Birds & Kinect Star Wars).  I’m also going to give the A.H Beard Sleep Challenge a go.

Spiritual wise. Goddess Leonie’s Goddess Haven e-course. I’ll be blogging about it as I go. I’m also giving the Creative Goddess course a go as well. Taking time for my spiritual more every Saturday.

Craft wise – I’m making an ‘artist date’ with myself every Sunday. I might scrapbook. I might art journal. I might just read a photography book or mag but it’ll be something artistic.

So we’ll see how I go with all that. Some I’ll blog about frequently, others not so much.
