Lights, C A M E R A , Action !

I got my new camera lastnight! A Nikon D50 ! My husband knew which one I was wanting and surprised me! I thought he was going to show a pair of shoes or something...I was totally in shock! This is just one of the many steps in my "journey" to help me down the road. I had a "point and shoot" digital camera thinking I wanted to "downsize" from my former Nikon I used in college(film) ....but man oh man! This is so nice! I'm still reading up on it and all the bells and whistles it comes with! I'll be sure to show what it can do at a later time. Oh! I'm so EXCITED!!!!

Boardgames...

Did you ever play boardgames when you were a kid?I did and still do!I know I didn't like Monopoly very much...it took too long! Well my son Chad loves boardgames! Over the week and weekend we came up with ideas and brainstormed to make a Space Monopoly.(they love Space!) The kids drew the planets and I drew the other pictures. I was in my element! I soon became consumed over this boardgame project.Coloring, outlining, and perfecting this board! We still are working on the cards and space movers. It's been a treat to do this for and with my sons.I love seeing them get excited about creating art and dreaming of becoming an astronaut and using their imagination.

Making The Plunge!

Well guys, Im finally entering the world of blogging! I find myself reading others' blogs that I thought it was time! A time to share my life and my journey in rediscovery of my art. I thank you Amy(and I've known many Amys in my life, you know who you are) for the inspiring emails and just being who you are,an inspiring artist and dear friend.
As I hold my breath and exhale as I get this blogging thing under my belt ...stay tuned for more!
