Bloggers Block

With all that's going on I should have plenty to write about and actually I do but it sure is hard coming up with a title for it! I am steadily working on all my new images for my new line of clear stamps and the catalog should be available within the next three weeksto a month. I am doing all this while beginning a new semester but I am only taking 12 credit hours this time so it is a walk in the park (haha). I am getting ready here to change my blog so that I can include a list of other sites and blogs that i think are super cool and deffinitely worth sharing. This has been one of my goals for the past six months-but sometimes things just have to take a backseat when you've go so many irons in the fire. Well, the important thing is that it all is starting to come together. I started out at the beginning of winter break with the intention of working on a children's book and illustrations but ended up deciding on doing the new stamp line and catalog. That was a big decision for me, anyone who knows me and what happened nine years ago and in the years since, must know that the decision did not come easy. But it feels right and I am really psyched about it now! A very wise woman told me once long ago. "those people may have stolen your artwork, but they did not steal your talent." She was right, of course, but I could not get past the helplessness or the hurt and anger, so it has taken me this long to really come to terms with it and truly be able to move forward. I think that actually designing and making stamps again will be so good for me in so many ways!! (For those of you who do not know what I am talking about, I will post the whole story one day soon...)
In the meantime, I have to go for now. I have a couple projects and a paper that need my attention. Darn it, all I want to do is draw and color! :)
I hope you make something cool today.
