She bonked herself and had to cry a bit about it.?? Doesn’t she have a lovely pout??? I just love it!?? When she was pulling herself up on her little toy box earlier this week I grabbed the camara but right when I got to her she had injured herself.?? Glad I caught this expression.?? :)?? She can pull up straight on her knees and is trying to get to her feet.??

So sorry I didn’t post my oil of Tanner today!?? Sorry ESPECIALLY to Laurie who woke up early to look at it!?? I will post it on Monday.?? It is finished but I decided to wait to post it…I’ll explain later.

I have been bitten by the paint bug BAD!?? Today I want to try a little project that includes painting but has more of a fantasy effect.?? I am trying to immitate the work of another artist I love.?? Not sure how it will go but I have high hopes!?? Not that I can get anywhere NEAR the real deal but playing on possibilities is just so…F U N!!!!!!???? I have always said that I am NOT an artist – Jim is the artist.?? At 35 I am wondering if I have more art in me than I ever realized.?? I guess it started with loving it.?? Beautiful things just make my heart sing.?? I am a major people watcher – I love to just look.?? Brooke says I stare too much and actually got after me for staring at a new couple in church one Sunday.?? :).?? Leave it to a sister to point out how our actions are making them wiggle in their seats hee hee.?? I didn’t realize consciously I was doing it but when she brought it to my attention I realized that I HAD in fact been staring.?? I just appreciate people though and I get lost in my own world studying them.?? God is so amazing and there is nothing in all of creation more astounding than people.?? I can’t help that I look at people like works of art – THEY ARE!??

I may not be able to draw A BIT and I also can’t “see” a lot of dimensions that Jim can (example – don’t even bother giving me a blueprint) but I do love to get my fingers onto God’s already made palette’s and then just add my little touches.???? It is kind of worshipful actually.?? Beauty in creation and people makes me worship the one who hand crafted it all.?? And can you believe that He loves me?????? That HE – the God of ALL THAT IS – enjoys me enjoying what He did??? That’s amazing.??
