If you have read my previous post from yesterday you will know that I have put a lot on my plate for goals this year.  That is simply because I want to keep moving and I want to be healthier.  So far today so good as I not only did my minimum of 18 minutes of creating, but I have also started the massive project of cleaning up my art cave, and I am at least 1/4 done lol...so all is good and the new year in progress!

Here is a photo of my first completed project of 2018 - I saw a DIY video a while back and started saving toilet paper rolls.  This marker holder is made of 112 rolls of toilet paper that did not make it to the fire pit or the landfill sites.  There are 8 rows and 14 columns, and of course they are all in the order of Roy G Biv....except I just realized its upside down...lol...I will fix that...but not tonight.

So, here is what it looks like finished, turned the right way, and with a few markers in it so far:

There, that is much better.  Now it looks like a rainbow!

Going to try to keep track of my swaps and trades here on blogger, this is about the only place I have not tried.  Note book does not seem to do it for me.

As you all know I had the Carpel Tunnel Release surgery in December 2017.  I am already scheduled for my left wrist to be done on the 5th but I have been warned that it will likely get postponed as it is at the end of the day.  I am also scheduled for a colonoscopy January 20th and I am going to see my Ear, Nose & Throat Specialist this Thursday...whew...so that takes care of some health concerns this month; oh and I think I have an appointment with Dr. Johnstone this month too; Yup, I do, just confirmed it as its on the 24th...Whew!
