Drawings - A few free minutes

 The morning started off slow at work, so I took a piece of scrap paper and began to doodle. These are the doodles I made.

Creative Everyday

Come into the light.
It's been such a long time since I've been able to post anything in Creative Everyday. It saddens me that I've been unable to create. The school district I work for gave us Friday off which did allow me to have some free time to create this. I couldn't capture the light and darkness the way I planned but at least I was able to do something.

It's Never Too Late
 When I saw the prompt for this month I was not excited. I am not good at adding different things and coming up with something beautiful. However I did give it a try. I used a old calendar book from 2008, a face that I painted on a library catalog card, old book pages, scrapbook paper (which I completed covered up) and some scrapbook stickers.

This is what I came up with. Definitely not my best but I tried. My scanner would scan the entire page so I attempted to take a picture of it.

It's never too late to find your true talent,
 to imagine,
to keep exploring or
 to marvel at a butterfly.







Take Time to Look Up

Sometimes we are so busy with life and getting things done we forget to look up and enjoy the peace of nature.

AEDM- Face 15: Broken Hearted

I remember feeling this way when I was 15. My boyfriend Alphonzo broke up with me right before the Christmas holiday. I didn't see it coming. At the time I was totally devastated. My heart really felt like it was broken. I stay in the whole holiday break. My sister who still had a boyfriend saw Alphonzo out. I just never thought I would get over it. but I did. So if any of you young ladies feel like this. Time is a great healer. Someone else came into my life and we just recently celebrated 29 years of marriage.

February Painting - Unfinished

I am currently trying to work on my 2nd painting for the year. I can't remember whose blog I read but they stated that you should spend at least 15 minutes a day doing something with your art. So in the morning I've been trying to do that. Hopefully I can allot more time this week, because we will be on winter break. No school Feb. 11-15. Prayerfully I will use this time wisely.

More Time

I wish that I had more time to paint and draw. I can totally forget about having time to think about gardening and quilting. How do you manage to fit it all in. Having time for husband and children. My love for reading. I miss being a stay-at-home mom, but I have the best part time job that I could ever wish for. I work for the school district, so I am out when my children are. I guess I should just be thankful for the things I do get to do.
