My mother always read to me as a child. I really believe that bonding time between a parent and child is so important and precious. I have lasting memories of those stories because the experience was special.
Life is too short to rush around and be too busy for your kids.
Learn from the rejection and turn it into an opportunity!
Things that influence me are my kids, their happiness, colorfulness, and vitality. My husband – he comes up with some great quotes and ideas. God – He is the Ultimate artist. And what I see around me – flowers, leaves, trees, birds, fruit, vegetables.
Life is too short to be safe and sit still and do nothing. Unless of course that is what God has for you to do in a particular place in your life.

I have been trying to get the hang of not being proud but instead turning that into thankfulness. Really whatever we have to be proud about, it is something given to us by the Lord.
Time flies whether you are having fun or not.
A constant FRIEND is a thing rare and hard to find.

Babies! What a wonderful way to start people!
I like to draw late at night when the house is quiet.
Part of my passion for all things Christmas is seeing my holiday stuff again every December. I suppose I do have more than most folks, so the reunion each winter keeps me in the holiday spirit for a full year. And there are always a few pieces out in my house whatever the month.
Not what you do but how you do it, is the test of your capacity.
