Because sometimes scribbles are the best...

First - I am going to share a layout that I did the other day - complete with ChickenLittle's artwork.   This girl kills me.  She really does remind me of ... me ... except more emotional (that is not good, well, for ME it's not, we don't connect that way).    BUT - this is the thing that we have  in common and through silliness we can communicate non-verbally and somewhat less overwhelmingly emotionally (her teenage years are going to require a lithium drip...or tranquilizers or something - FOR ME more likely). 

I digress...

and all of this brings me to a blog that I peruse often Write, Click, Scrapbook -- their post titled "Process Process Process" - well, first of all it made me laugh at the title all by itself.   Anyone that has worked with me in the past (when I worked at a contractor for the VA and we did examinations for Veterans) - I ALWAYS and probably IRRITATINGLY would spout off PROCESS - DON'T IGNORE THE PROCESS (seriously.)  But I digress (again?)...

This is the part of the post that kind of  sang to me, if you will:

"One More Thing
This week, as I was planning this post, I rediscovered a children's book, that seems to perfect to share here. I also will probably not be able to write about it without getting a little teary. The Dot is about a young girl, who, with an empty sheet of paper at the end of art class declares to her teacher, "I just CAN'T draw!" Her teacher tells her to simply make a mark on her paper. Angrily, she jabs her marker to make one dot on her page. "Now, sign it, please"  says her teacher. When the girl arrives next time, there is her dot, framed and hung up on the wall. When she sees that, the girl proceeds to paint dots of different sizes, and colors, and when the school art show rolls around, there is a wall full of her paintings.

The moral of the story is, make something. Anything. See where it takes you.

You can also take a look back, and see where you have been."

 Do you feel inspired?
