Day 11 - Post one of the oldest pictures you have in your Picture folders. This is a picture of my great great grandmother. She is the native American woman on the left. I wish I knew more about her and her culture though. This is all I have.
Eclipse is now out in theaters and tickets were all bought weeks ago. My sister and some close friends decided to wait a few days until all the screaming fans are gone. We enjoy the movie, just want to hear it, have a decent night sleep, and not have go to work the next morning. So we will be going on Friday. My boss and co-worker are good friends and they go crazy over Twilight. They will be going to the midnight premiere. My boss asked me to make her a t-shirt she could where that night. She is so Team Edward/ Rob Patterson.
Day 10 - A picture that you took at one time that you love. It's a picture of a mother at our daycare with her two baby girls. I love how it shows their love for each other.

With the county fair coming soon I have been doing some quick art work in other mediums to get more points towards the winner in the art division. Most of the time I have alot to choose from, but this year all my work was in the same materials. It gives me more experience with different materials, which is always good. I'm doing some pieces in watercolor.
Day 9 of the Photo Challenge is taking a picture that showcases motion. I use to love riding in the back seat, window down, with the night setting on my camera. I would get crazy lines of color that didn't exist.

My current work place to create my art lately has been sitting in my recliner, supplies on the side table, and a pull up table to work on. Not the ideal work space. Lately it has been a confortable space, but not much space to work with.
With my mom and me both being crafters or artisans in some way we have always had a somewhat sewing room, which is more now a craft room. One half is the sewing supplies and the other is all other crafting and art supplies. A few months ago I organized the messiest parts of our house. Our craft room and garage always become unmanagable. Once I moved back home from my dorm and my mom starting a new sewing project (making scrubs to sale to the nurses she works with), our craft room became a mess once again. My mother is still able to work in there, but I can not.
Most of the mess is on my side of the room but it's not all mine. My mom doesn't put her stuff up and places on my side so then I'm less inclined to put mine up. So here is my desk where I should be working. Just a bit of a mess to clean up.
Now for the next day of the photo challenge. Day 08 - Post a picture from your commute. This was a hard one. I'm normally rushing to work and going straight home or the gym. Sometimes though I stop at my sisters house and will be there all night and never realize it. It is almost my second home. Today I took my nephew home from daycare to his house. This happens at least once a week since his daycare is where I work.

On this day of the photo challenge is Day 07 - Post a picture from a recent vacation. Last weekend was father's day and we took a mini vacation to different places. First we went to the Creation Museum that has a beautiful garden designed by one of my cousins. Also we went to the Hollywood casino and to Newport next to river for a comedy show. I have a few photos from the day, but these are my favorites.
Also after a while of doing things here and there, I finally returned to my major work in progress. It involves me pen and ink drawing, which I haven't done in awhile. It is nice to get back to it though. I hope to get this piece completely finished in the coming week.

I'm back on track now..... I hope. So here is the the next photo challenge.
Day 06 - A picture that inspires you
This is my sister's friend Eric. He's a pretty good photographer and crazy man. In a good way of course though. Obviously he's not taking the picture but he is holding the flash attachment and flashing the moment the picture is taken. It inspires me because it shows you can always make new creative ideas, all you have to do is think outside the box.

I saw a to do list to complete before they were 25 on another blog. She had, I guessing, about a year to complete it. She turns 25 the end of this year. I'm only 21 and have 3-4 years to complete these 25 things. It would seem easy but most of these things either take alot of time, money, or both to complete them. So most are large goals that will take alot of work and effort.

So I'm a great big slacker! Not really with life just with my blog. It took the back burner for a few days while my mind was else where. In the past week I have made several amount of changes in my life. It greatly affected my work and school for this coming fall though. The biggest thing is that I will be working full time for the next 6 months instead of part time between my college class schedule. Its fine with me though. I work at daycare and I love it so much. Art and children are the important things in my life. Right now we have a teacher who have degrees in education but she sucks as a teacher. She never does anything and complains about the job and the children. She teaches 3 year old children and I have always loved that room. I really want to be in there as the lead teacher so these kids can explore and develop instead of being bitched at basically. That lady wants a new job and is applying at other places and my thoughts on it is GREAT!!! Just hurry and get out of here so I can help these children flourish. So I've been doing some planning towards this change that I really hope that will come and letting my boss know how I think somewhat. I hope the change happens soon. Wish me luck!
Now on to the photo challenge. I have missed a few days so I will try and catch myself up.
Day 03 - A picture of your street
This was taken this past winter when we had a pretty good snow.
Day 04 - A picture of where you went today
Day 05 - A picture from your morning
These are some of my favorite babies.I was in these two rooms at my work today. Not that 3 year old room like I would, but these little ones are still a lot of fun just they get so messy. This is where I am almost everyday. These children fill me with so much joy and so much stress at times. I love them for it. I can't wait until the day when I have my own family.
