The first assignment from Misty Mawn's blog, was to do a self portrait. Here is my first attempt! I missed a few assignments, but at least did 1 page of the orange.

I found this quote on another blog and wanted to share it: "...a Christian, above all people, should live artistically, aesthetically, and creatively....If we have been created in the image of an Artist, then we should look for expressions of artistry, and be sensitive to what has been created for our appreciation....We are all in danger of thinking, "Some day I shall be fulfilled. Some day I shall have the courage to start another life which will develop my talent", without ever considering the very practical use of that talent today in a way which will enrich other people's lives, develop the talent, and express the fact of being a creative creature." --from The Hidden Art of Homemaking by Edith Schaeffer (italics in the original text)

I'm finally getting started with my blog! I recently started a journal with a group of women on line and plan to post pics as soon as my camera is charged up. Stay tuned!
