inspiration monday


my creative world is starting to look like forrest gump's box of chocolates......you never really know what you're gonna get. i have so many things that i'd like to do and learn, but i have no idea which one i'd like to do first. inspiration overload is alive and well in my studio these days, and when i look ahead, i see many different paths in front of me.....and they're all enticing me to go down them. i've always had a yearning for learning, i just need to figure out how to do it a little at a time instead of trying to do it all at once.
as well as hope that forrest hasn't eaten all of those chocolates yet....

  9. This is one of my favorite Blog posts of all time! I even read it three times before commenting. Sometimes there are so many things I want to do and to learn, that I feel so scattered...I can't do anything. It's hard to choose, when you have to choose for lack of time. Your doodle is my organizer for disorganized thoughts and dreams. Thank you very much!♥

  21. I love the directional arrows and the artwork is SO cute. It says it all. Where is that lettering arrow, though. All you need is another direction from helpful friends, right??? HA HA
