Studio Friday: Quoted!

This week's topic for Friday February 23rd suggested by Robyn: QUOTED!
"Quotes are so inspiring. They give us comfort in rough times or the push we need to overcome our obstacles or fears. They enlighten us and give clarity and "A-ha's". Some we keep around for a life time and let them guide us, others we forget about. We work with them maybe or pass them on to others."~ Robyn
What is your favourite quote or quotes? How do they inspire you as an artist? Have they guided you on your way? Where in your studio do you keep them/ Maybe you have a journal that is specifically for you quotes and that you write them in so you don't forget and can easily look at them again? Where in your studio do you display your favourite quote?
I have few favorite quotes that inspire me. I may not have a picture or photograph to go with these but these have kept me going in my persuit of my passion for photogaphy...


"The minute you begin to do what you really want to do, it's really a different kind of life."-Buckminster Fuller

"If you can imagine it, you can achieve it. If you can dream it, you can become it. -William Arthur Ward

Photograph your memories and you will live life twice-Alice Paul

Find ART in the everyday.-Banana Republic Campaign

"When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single talent left, and used everything you gave me."-Erma Bomback
I keep these in my "Artsy" book/journal but I need post them in my studio where I can see them constantly and inspire me when I get in a rut.

Waterpark @ Massanutten Ski Resort...a FUN Birthday Gift!



We usually plan to go somewhere for a birthday. This year I decided I wanted to go to an indoor waterpark at Massanutten Ski Resort in VA. We had so much fun! I was so proud of the kids actually getting totally soaked at the little slides and getting sprayed! And lil"Chad went down the BIG slides on a double tube with daddy! SO brave! The kids asked me what my favorite thing was at the park....I told them, seeing them with huge smiles on their faces and all the fun they were having...Priceless! Well I can surly say I am definately NOT 18 anymore! My SORE body reminded me the next morning that yes, Kendra you are OLDER!

Something NEW...(look at the top of my blog)

YES! FINALLY after pulling my brains out to figure out how to put picture as your blog header/title...I finally figured it out, only after 5 months or so! The sad thing is I had to go to another blog called "Blogging For Dummies" and read up on it...I found it quite easy and Im still learning so you probably see the image change quite often!

SNOW ! - NO SCHOOL ! - DAY OFF WORK ! ...

Ahhh! Finally some decent snowfall here! Only 3 inches or so but enough to go SLEDDING!! I have such fun and great memories of going out in the snow when I was a kid.We always headed over to the hill we called "Kill Hill". When you're little everything seems so much bigger and grand! I look at it now and it looks so small!
We headed over to the Park where we go to our favorite hills...Lil chad and I named it "Museum Hill" because it's on the side of the park near the museum. Hopefully I'll be able to load up some video too! If it doesn't work, bare with me...still learning.:-)
