Why I love art

Today I want to share with you why I love art, why I came to wanting to be an artist. So I have always loved art in all of it's many forms. When I was in middle school and high school I took pretty much every art class I could. I loved it! I never really thought I was that great at it, but I have always known that if I were to have a carreer it would be a creative one. Then I got married and had kids and didn't really do art for quite awhile. I did get into scrapbooking, which turned into digital scrapbooking, because there was no mess to clean up afterward. Then last year right before I found out I was pregnant with number 5, I found lifebook, and couldn't wait to sign up. I did, and then like a week later found out I was pregnant. I did the first lesson, and then started feeling sick with morning sickness, and believe me it was the worst morning sickness I had ever had, I was certain I must be having twins because there was no way I could be that sick with only one, well the ultrasound showed only 1 healthy baby. I had to go to the hospital 3 times in early pregnancy to get iv fluids, cause I couldn't keep anything down it sucked. The last time I went I actually had the swine flu on top of the morning sickness. Then after the morning sickness kind of went away, I started having sever pelvic pain and couldn't sit or stand for long. I spent most of the pregnany in my bed, it was really hard to anything. So ya no art got done. But after little Ava Gwenevere was born on 9-23-12 at 11:39 AM. Here she is the day she was born.
She was 7 lbs 14 ounces, and like 20 inches long, she was perfect. And I was finally able to get back to art, since I wasn't feeling sick anymore, or in pain. Here is some of my art that came out the first few months after she was born.


Well that is all for now, thanks for coming on this journey with me.
