Hello again everyone.
How are you all doing so far?
Here it is almost 2 PM which means I need to get ready soon to go get my son from school - they get out about 2:45 (but I go about 2:30 to get a good parking spot).
It's currently 57 degrees with a real feel of 65. That will be a nice change. Don't even have the heat on inside currently.
It's been a sort of productive day. After breakfast (and watching the latest episode of American Idol with my husband) I cleaned up all the dishes. Then, I started on a bigger kitchen clean up. Trying to clean out the cupboards and make more room, throw old stuff out, etc. Even put some of the spices in a spice rack thing that I got that was my great-grandma's after she passed away. I think it holds 24 spices. Will be nice to get those out of the cupboard and have more room.
I will work on more of the kitchen tomorrow. Then move on to other rooms. Try to get rid of some stuff too. Sort of a spring cleaning. And hoping in doing this we won't have to do too much when inspection time comes in April.
But yeah -that's been the day so far. Sound productive? lol
Also made this puppy design...it is a little bit of a different style than my art has been. Do you like the style and design?

Sounds like you got a lot of things done. I wish I could say the same, but I did get the trash out and the laundry done. So, there's that. George went outside again. Looks like it might rain. Ordered mcdonold's for lunch so instead of going back to my office, I'm here.

Well it doesn't seem like a lot, but I guess it could be. Getting the trash out and laundry done is a lot to me...

@MommyOfEli2013 What's that saying, you're your own worst critic? I feel productive if I just do one thing.

@kaylachan I always have been. But I just feel that I never do enough. That's good that you feel productive if you just do one thing, I wish I could....

It sounds like you've had a nicely productive day so far! Getting a head start on some spring cleaning by organizing the kitchen and going through cupboards is a great idea. Having a dedicated spice rack, especially one with sentimental value from your great-grandmother, will definitely help declutter and make things more accessible. Tackling this room by room is a smart approach.
Getting some decluttering done before inspection time will really pay off. And 57 degrees with that "real feel" warmth must be such a nice break! No need for heat is always a pleasant surprise.
The puppy design you made looks really cute! I like the slightly different illustrative style you've gone with - it has a fun, friendly vibe. The proportions and expression on the puppy's face are very endearing. Switching up styles keeps your art fresh and allows you to explore new techniques. Well done on an evidently productive and creative day so far! Wishing you a smooth school pickup for your son later.
Hope you have a good evening Courtney.

Well I don't know much good it did, I still have a lot to go on just the kitchen. Least we have a few weeks.
Yes, could have worn shorts today, it was that nice. I'd say it was the perfect weather today. Not cold, but not burning hot. No bees out lol.
Glad you like the design....and this style is a bit more realistic looking, but still has a lot of color.

The puppy is really cute. I need to work with hubby's cousin and start cleaning out our excess stuff. I've been doing it for years; but I don't seem to be getting anywhere. Have a good day.

Glad you think it is. Sounds like a good plan... It does take a lot of work!
