Since I was very little I've always dreamed that one day I would be an artist. Remember how you were always asked in elementary school, "What are you going to be when you grow up?" Well I always believed that I would grow up to be an artist! It was definitely one of the only things I was good at in school. School came very hard for me and I really struggled through it up until college. I'm almost shocked that I even decided to go to college because the thought of school even now makes my stomach turn!
The reason why I'm talking about this is because my brother Eric, who is a 2nd grade teacher, has asked me to come into his class and share about what I do. He's always wanted me to come in and talk because he wants his students to understand that there are so many different things that you can be successful at...not JUST Math, Science, and English! We were all created unique with different gifts! I know I wish that someone would have told me that in school when I was growing up...I think I would have felt better about myself. (Of course my mom told me that!)
Well...all that to say that I know I am extremely blessed to be doing what I had always dreamed! I'm an artist! Crazy! I truly love what I do and am very thankful!
I'll have to let you all know how my visit to Eric's classroom goes...I think he might even make me read them a story! That's so scary to me because...like I said...I wasn't a good student and hated when the teacher asked me to read out loud! Ha!
Also...I wanted to quickly share this image! I've been playing around with some actions I just bought...and I'm loving the results!!! More fun examples to come!

I like the tone and grit. I may have to steal that one from you.
