I have so been through this with myself over ...Wow! I have so been through this with myself over and over and over again. I don't think I've truly inked or drawn (or really doodled even) since I got married and started having kids. Inking turned into "stampin' up" parties that I detested for lack of originality. Friends would invite me to all night scraps because "documenting life" made the time spent worthwhile. And I got sucked in. and I hated what I made. Always. It is so not what I need. I need to feel me. Not mom. Not wife. me. And I stumble and fall. I struggle with myself. Call myself selfish for wanting my own time and space and "could you please get away from me!" and I think I'm the worst mom in the world and really, I probably am because I can't seem to get me right and they all suffer for it. So, that said... from one drummer girl to another: do it and do it now!<BR/><BR/>ps. thanks for such a heartfelt post that helped me get that off my chest!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119203360997348863.post-3415182624344676142008-08-18T18:45:00.000-07:002008-08-18T18:45:00.000-07:00Follow your heart, it will lead you in the right d...Follow your heart, it will lead you in the right direction...<BR/>;D<BR/>Bbethchienhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07905476409007575013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119203360997348863.post-62202510773811375332008-08-18T18:43:00.000-07:002008-08-18T18:43:00.000-07:00Debee, I think you are one of the very few scrapbo...Debee, I think you are one of the very few scrapbookers out there who it is quite obvious to me that you are an artist. Not just a crafter, but an artist. Someone who is greatly inspired and who insanely inspires others. I'm so glad you are going to pursue that passion of yours even further, because I think that God has given you that unique ability. You have a special gift. :)Mandi Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13852544607989181915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119203360997348863.post-69781502120103880542008-08-18T16:57:00.000-07:002008-08-18T16:57:00.000-07:00there's nothing left to say after all of that ...there's nothing left to say after all of that except... i love you.<BR/>heart & soul.<BR/>xoxoangie backenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13384928137332243870noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119203360997348863.post-60048236368322616172008-08-18T16:21:00.000-07:002008-08-18T16:21:00.000-07:00wow. u are amazing debee!! and it is totally true....wow. u are amazing debee!! and it is totally true...i have always been into art too- folk art, watercolour painting, sketching drawing, making, designing....but I too somehow lost my way - i used to love my days back at high school in the art room- ahhh the days. and now i have gone back to art school- and drawing and sketching and taking photos - its love all over again!! enjoy it debee....and thanks for the encouragement!Alihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03261682285603756791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119203360997348863.post-26055746143639237922008-08-18T09:17:00.000-07:002008-08-18T09:17:00.000-07:00WoooooW GIRL!!!!Hey, just dont stop to, or forget ...WoooooW GIRL!!!!<BR/><BR/>Hey, just dont stop to, or forget to 'embrace' the 'dimensions' of your goals & dreams that you never anticipated!!!!<BR/><BR/>Coz 'later ON',....... you'll be eternally grateful that you did!<BR/><BR/>Lou xox<BR/><BR/>PS even the crappy ones too!Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14649630290856334042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119203360997348863.post-43274654531598424192008-08-18T09:05:00.000-07:002008-08-18T09:05:00.000-07:00Your soul oozes art...it's there, you embody it, y...Your soul oozes art...it's there, you embody it, you inspire it, you'll find it...hugs.Dinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04038481382321886052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119203360997348863.post-36971061122811921122008-08-17T10:41:00.000-07:002008-08-17T10:41:00.000-07:00seriously, it's like you've put so many of the thi...seriously, it's like you've put so many of the things I've been thinking about lately into perfect words. <BR/><BR/>and I love Hope Floats.<BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>danijohnston.typepad.com/djdanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05579436193819340183noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119203360997348863.post-63418783869461433522008-08-17T00:29:00.000-07:002008-08-17T00:29:00.000-07:00you are art, my dear girl. i know i tell you all t...you are art, my dear girl. i know i tell you all the time how amazing you are but i will say it one more time -- you have a real gift, db...and i can't imagine never having met you. love you. xo.metrochichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02670962519471145860noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119203360997348863.post-74176493955138756742008-08-16T22:50:00.000-07:002008-08-16T22:50:00.000-07:00Love your post today!!

So we lose sight of things ..the good wholesome simple things..that make us ..{{us}}. We are all fingerprints.. We cannot be replicated in any way because we are all different. Sure we may all have similar tastes.. Love the same Starbucks drinks.. but our hearts and eyes and hands and mind... see, feel, hold, imagine, believe, heart many diiferent things that can never be copied by another. God did not make us that way. We are all unique creations.<BR/>I can't wait to see you express all theses feelings on to paper. You will be dynamic!!<BR/>I was crap at art and I was told so..so many times.. I like what your professor said..it really doesn't matter what anyone else thinks or says...It's our own interpretation of art that makes art itself.<BR/>You go girl..!!<BR/>You are a ONE and ONLY!<BR/>{{HUGS}}<BR/>T... is for Tonka :0}<BR/>If you read my profile you'll know that only special people call me Tonka.. so that means YOU ROCK GIRLIE!
