The happy scrapbook

"Exercising Creativity" item number two is to create a scrapbook documenting 100 things that make me happy.

28 March 2010 - I've made a list of the 100 things I want to talk/post about (it was way easier than I expected), and I've collected a few pictures I might want to use in the entries. I just have to choose where I'm going to do it (LJ? Tumblr? Here? A totally new [to me] site?) and get started.

Do holiday cards

"Exercising Creativity" item number four is to design, create and send (on time) cards for The December Holidays at least once in my 1001 days. In 2009, despite having brain surgery on the 18th of December, I succeeded. It actually might have been because of the brain surgery, actually. I knew the holidays were coming up fast, and I had to get my shit together before going to the hospital.

Get published on PostSecret

"Exercising Creativity" item number three is to admit to as many of my secrets as it takes until one of my cards is published in a PostSecret book or on the website.

I didn't keep track of exactly how many secrets I sent, but I think it probably had to be about a dozen. Eventually, one Sunday, there it was! One of my secrets! I'm going to totally defeat the purpose of admitting to secrets by not linking to it or saying which one it was. I even waited for a long time before changing the color of the text on the sidebar here, and I waited even longer than that before doing this post. But ... I did get one published. \o/
