I Does What I Likes



When I was in the first grade, I had to stand in the corner (that was the punishment back then) three times. One time it was for singing during the prayer. Why did I do that? Mother said I would play outside and be so intent on what I was doing, I'd tinkle on myself. So I DO have some degree of concentration, but it definitely has to be something I love. Math? Blah blah blah. English and Art, that's what I love. I love to write, but not read. Right now, I'm doing what I love best, painting and helping others become painters too. You would be SOOOO surprised to find out how MANY kids LOVE to paint! Why can't that be the reward for hard work in math or science. I think I would have stepped up to the plate if that had been my reward. OR I would have been thinking about the painting too much, who knows? Anyhoo, I hope you like the before and after of an old cabinet door.

  4. Marji, I was always doodling on something. My mother would buy rolls of freezer paper for me to draw on. She was tidy bell and threw everything away! I haven't been able to find any of it in her house :-( People always ask how long I've been drawing or painting. I don't remember when I DIDN'T! Thanks for following me!
