It's Vacation Time!

BubbyAndBean

So, I just made it through the first 6 amazing months of my year-long project for charity and I just so happen to have a family trip! Great timing for a break, huh?

Me, my mom, my youngest brother and sister are taking a road trip out to see my grandmas. It's been about 6 months since I've seen them last(And last time was because one of them was in the hospital on life support. Not a happy visit!) SO we're all super excited to go and see her and my other grandma now that she's all recovered!



Couple of downsides though.

1:No internet access. So that means no new art cards until I get back on the 9th. So when I get back I'll be drawing 2 cards a day until I'm all caught up(unless I find the time while I'm away to draw!)

2: I'll be making the 9.5 hour trip with a sprained knee. I've been hobbling around on the poor thing for a week and a half. And I don't even have a cool story to share about how I did it. haha


So wish me luck! And see you all on the 9th!

Healing HeART

When my emotions are frayed, chaotic and tired, my creative juices are just as zapped.

So that’s why things have been a little slow around here. I haven’t drawn in two weeks, which is strange for someone who spends 6-7 hours drawing and creating each day.

It’s really hard for me to pick up a pencil again after I’ve lost someone very dear to me. Creating art has always been such an emotional and spiritual thing for me and when my heart takes a blow like that, it takes time before I can draw again.

But how do I know when it’s time to pick up the pencil again? How do I know when I’m ready?

When I feel I can draw the loved one I lost.

Now, they may not be the first I draw when I continue, but having that confidence in my healing is what enables me to start creating again. And then I will draw her. Because it is the best way I heal and remember and honor someone I love.
