Loved reading this Christy; I am hopeful that someday I can share what I create - but I know I need lots of practice. I loved seeing how all the "real" artists that I follow have to "practice" too - and I definitely how see the art has changed over the years. It gives me hope that I practice for a reason. Thanks for sharing from the heart.

I get a little emotional about this: I always thought it was ridiculous that people obsessed about scrapbooking. I said I would not even think about it until I retired someday - too many other more important things to do. I lived and breathed my job - teaching. And then my boys grew up and I realized I had to have a creative outlet or I would go crazy because I was feeling so burned out. It made sense to invest my creative juices in the important task of harnessing the lives of my children as they were growing. It has helped me to overcome the difficult transition of the empty nest, and allowed my to develop a different relaxed side of myself.
