I am not a Taylor Swift fan, but I do have a friend that is. I created this for them, and she loved it.

What am I Good At?
What are you good at?
What am I good at? That is a good question, and I often struggle with questions like that, but I will keep on going and answer the question. One of the things that I am good at is having patience when working with children, which is a good thing since I am a teacher. I have always believed that kids can learn while having fun, and I try to incorporate this when teaching kids. Another thing that I am good at, so I have been told, is drawing. I picked up drawing when I was going through a rough patch many years ago, and it helps me to relax and not worry as much. I find joy in expressing my creativity through various art forms.
Battle of the Bands
Here is a great battle of bands. Go check it out and vote. 😊
Artwork- Dug from the Movie Up!
I absolutely adore the movie “Up,” and Dug holds a special place in my heart. It was only natural for me to feel compelled to capture his essence through my artwork.
Having it all
What does “having it all” mean to you? Is it attainable?
Having it all to me means achieving a sense of fulfillment and contentment in various aspects of life. It’s about being happy and comfortable in my own skin, not letting others dictate how I feel or what I do. It also means being with someone who appreciates and supports me for who I am.
In terms of my career, having it all would involve a job that not only brings me happiness but also allows me to make a positive impact and difference in the world. I would love to encourage and inspire young minds, showing them that they are capable of achieving anything they set their minds to. Additionally, being recognized and respected for the hard work and dedication I put into my job is also important.
Travel is another essential part of having it all for me. I want to explore and visit new places, immersing myself in different cultures and experiences. The idea of discovering new destinations excites me, and I believe it contributes to a well-rounded and fulfilling life.
Having it all to me is about finding a balance and satisfaction in all these areas of life. While it may be a lofty goal, I believe that with the right mindset and effort, it is attainable.

New Feelings
Here is a little something I wrote a while ago. I just now felt comfortable to post it on here.
———————————————————————————-
I feel a stirring deep within,
A sensation I can’t quite define.
It’s like a whisper on the wind,
A feeling that is wholly mine.
I’ve never felt this way before,
This rush of emotions so new.
It’s like a wave crashing on the shore,
A feeling that is pure and true.
I’m lost in a sea of unknown,
But I’m not afraid to dive in.
For this feeling has truly shown,
That in this moment, I begin.
To feel things I never thought I could,
To experience life in a brand new light.
I embrace this feeling, as I should,
For it’s leading me to a future bright.
So I’ll cherish this feeling, hold it dear,
For it’s a gift that I never knew.
And as I navigate this uncharted sphere,
I’ll let it guide me, strong and true.

Artwork- The Nerd
I was inspired to create this after reading a blog from Anthony (check out the link above). I connected to the post on a personal level.
Artwork- Cherry Blossom Tree
I have always been captivated by the beauty of the Cherry blossom, so I made the bold decision to create a drawing of one. Behold, here is my initial attempt. I believe it turned out rather well. I am bursting with anticipation to embark on drawing another exquisite blossom.
Artwork- Dust Bunny
I drew this when I was substituting for a class, and they had an assembly where someone was demonstrating how to draw certain things. I am thrilled with how this drawing turned out, especially because at the time I created it, I lacked confidence in my skills.
Collections
Do you have any collections?
Over the years, I’ve gathered quite a variety of collections. Right now, my favorite is my assortment of cover-ups. I have so many that I could wear a different one every day for two weeks! I love how they can instantly elevate an outfit, adding a splash of color or completely changing my look. My collection keeps growing because every time I’m at a store, I can’t resist searching for new ones to add to my fashion arsenal.

Artwork- Bulldog
My mom loves bulldogs and I decided to draw this for her and she loved it.Drawing for my mom was such a heartwarming experience. Seeing her eyes light up as she gazed at the bulldog filled me with an indescribable joy.
Legacy
What is the legacy you want to leave behind?
I want to leave behind a legacy of kindness, compassion, and making a positive impact on the world. I hope to be remembered as someone who always tried to help others, spread love and positivity, and make a difference in the lives of those around me. I want to inspire others to be the best version of themselves and to always strive to make the world a better place.

I had a great time with creating this one. I would like to introduce Ivy or Poison Ivy.

Favorite Musical Artist
Boyz II Men
What’s the name of the group?
I had the incredible opportunity to see my all-time favorite group perform live in concert yesterday, and I must say, they absolutely blew me away. Having seen them in concert before, I can confidently say that each performance just gets better and better. They delivered their classic hits flawlessly, but what really stood out were the new “old” songs they debuted and the covers of other artists’ tracks. Each one was performed to perfection, showcasing their musical versatility and skill.
From start to finish, the energy in the venue was electric, with the entire crowd up on their feet, rocking out and singing along with the group. Their music has always had a profound impact on me, touching my soul in ways that few other artists can. Whenever I listen to their music, it has a calming effect, helping me through moments of anxiety and stress. They will always hold a special place in my heart, and I can’t wait for the next opportunity to see them live again.
