That I won, with God's grace, an Xbox 360 Kinect for my family for Christmas?
That I recently won gift cards to my favorite TexMex restaurant? (Facebook contest!)
That I love God? (I hope so!)
That life has been different this summer than we thought it would be? (I'll try to post more about that later!)
That I've lived in 5 US states and 2 countries? (US and West Germany)
That I love to read?
That I was once a Teacher's Aide in an Art classroom?
That I became the Art teacher after that?
That I have
That I am 'somewhat' of an artist?
Oh, maybe you thought I was but did you really know? If you know me irl* then yes, you would know that!
And, that is my segue into this post....
One reason that I am not posting as often here in the last few months is because I now write an article for Examiner.com. I am the National Children's Craft Examiner - and yes, that is a mouthful!
I am really not a good salesperson, so I've just sort of written my articles and hoped people would be interested enough to click on the title and see what I had to say. My readership has grown - I had over 100 more page views for June than I did for May - so somebody is reading it!
However, I know that I need to somewhat 'advertise' what I put time and effort into and work hard on! So, here's my first advertisement:
I really like to watch children get excited about creating a piece of art work of their very own! On Examiner.com I give parents, grandparents and caregivers tips and suggestions for engaging a young creative and encouraging them to be what they naturally are....creative!
Thank you for reading my advertisement!!!
I hope that if you are involved in a young child's life in any capacity, that you will please take the time to check out my article. I enjoy encouraging others, but this is a very different format than I am used to and it is a bit challenging at times!
However, I am so thankful for this opportunity! And while I love to be creative myself, if any of you would like to see me work on something special (in other words, if you have an artsy idea for young creatives!) please let me know and I will see what I can accomplish!
Okay, enough about what I have been up to lately....what are y'all doing special or different this summer? I would love to hear about it!!!
Praise God from whom all blessings flow....like young creatives
God's girl,
