Thanks, Mary! And I remember how busy it can be with little ones! I give YOU allot of credit for the amount of art you create with the full plate you have right now. Someone suggested to me a while ago, that I look back on my life and see if I had not been creative all along, just not with a pencil and paper. It was true. When my kids were little we made books together. I made toys for them! We cooked together and decorated cookies. I took writing courses and had a couple small essays published locally. Looking back and recalling these activities was very encouraging and confidence building.

I am sure there are many many moments in your everyday with your children that you are still creating, being an artist, even when away from your easel. It is in our spirit and it just won't be denied. Claiming that is very powerful.

Your art is beautiful, Mary. And I commend you on your determination. Time is a cherished commodity when children are young!! Keep up the good work!!
