This video regarding motivation was interesting to me as a mother and a home educator. How does this apply to my kids? (You'll have to pause the playlist on the right sidebar to listen to this.)

  1. I am so thrilled that you are joining The Artistic Mother's Group. We are about half way through with the projects now, but feel free to jump in at the beginning and join us and just go at your own pace. By going back and reading the previous posts about the group, you will feel a part of everything and know what is going on and how to proceed. See "The Artistic Mother" label under "Categories" in my sidebar down a little ways.

    Just keep working a little each day. The whole point of this group is to develop the habit of doing art each day. It is also so we can encourage one another and be an accountability group. I personally need the accountability part of it. Knowing that others are coming to see what I'm up to is very motivational; otherwise, I may not finish it on my own. Some projects may be easier for you than others and may allow you to catch up. But if you don't, don't get discouraged. Just keep on going. This is a low pressure group. I want everyone to have fun and also enjoy visiting one another.
    And please do a blog post about your participation in the group inviting others to join. Please give a link to my blog for those who may wish to join so they can come here and get the details and sign in. I am keeping a master list of all participants.

    Each week do a post of your progress as you go through the book. When posting each week, please mention the group with a link to my blog. That way people can go to my blog and see the list of the other participants and click around to see their progress as well. To increase your chances of other Artistic Mother participants reading your post, please put Artistic Mother as part of the title. The reason being is that we now have over 100 participants and so we cannot possibly go to every post that each member makes. It will make it easier to know when the post is one relating to the Artistic Mother projects.

    Since our group has grown so much, instead of having to put all of the links in each post or on your sidebar, I have made a button for the group. Just grab my button and put that in your sidebar. I will keep the list of all participants in my sidebar.

    Please check my blog often for tips, notes of encouragement and exciting news. And please go and read my previous posts because they contain resources that will help you get a good start with the group.

    Please also go back and read all of the posts I have written about The Artistic Mother group, starting near the end of February because there is a lot of good information in those posts that will help you get a good start with us with tips and inspiration to help you along your journey. You can find all of them easily by going to "Categories" a little ways down in my side bar and clicking on "The Artistic Mother" label.

    And one last thing. Please come and check the blog list of participants on a regular basis and visit and comment as much as you can. We want to all encourage one another.

    Note: Due to copyright laws, we are not allowed to do tutorials or step-by-step photos of the projects on our blogs or take photos of the pages in the book and post them. You may post a photo of your version of the project and talk about your experiences and feelings relating to it.

    Also, if you are doing this project with a friend, each person must have their book unless you are doing it together under the same roof. No photocopying of the book, please.
