Illustrations WOOT!

I am honestly on a bit of a high today.
I got an email this morning from a local children's musician in town. She has enlisted my help and several of my private students are now illustrating lyrics from a song of hers to be published into a children's book! I can't wait. I picked four of my students and they are THRILLED to be a part of this process. I am so stoked!
On top of that, Tara, the musician, asked me if I would like to work with her on two other books that she is getting published! I am THRILLED! I tried not to show her that I was literally wetting my pants, but this is GOING TO BE SO MUCH FUN! Illustration is my first love. I love love love love this kinda stuff and I am so happy right now. She's wanting to have the books out by Christmas, so the next few months I will be working late into the evening to get this stuff done! YEE HAW! When I know a little more I will let you all in on the information! WOOT!
On top of all of this I am also going to be painting some letters for a local family and one of my really good college friends! One family just had a little boy and I am doing sports letters for them and Betsey, my college buddy, is having a little girl and I will be painting letters to match a Beatrix Potter theme...how totally sweet!
I am just so totally blessed that I can be so totally ADHD with my art. I don't know what I will do with myself if I ever have to settle down and stick to something. HA!
Cheers and love!

China SNARF SNARF SNARF

I'm sorry. I can't stand to watch another round of the gymnastic finals. The Americans are getting totally boned over by HORRIBLE judging and I seriously think Mark and I might need to be wheeled to a hospital to check our hearts after the last round of crappy judging against poor Nastia and the American girls. BOLOGNA.
Don't get me started on the fact that a MAJORITY of the Chinese "women" are even able to compete...when they don't have all of their GROWN UP TEETH. GRRRRRR.
I hate bad judging and it has litterally happened almost every night to the Americans...next time I plan on judging with my VAST knowledge of this subject....UGH. (at this point I think I might be better)
Sorry for the rant. I am in one foul mood...actually let me tell you how I really feel. Ching shouldn't even be allowed to HOST the Olympics. Where are all of the human rights advocates? Have you noticed Taiwan isn't allowed to carry their flag in that God forsaken counrty because China won't allow it? Did you hear about the Americans who had their Bibles striped away from them while in China? Not to metion the government forging documents so 11 to 12 year olds can compete after being ripped from their families at the age of 2 or 3! Screw this.
I do love the Olympics, but I am so disappointed in what they have done this time around. I hope London is better.

Here I go!

Hmmm I blog on myspace, but MAN this is cool. A totally new way to suck all of my life away from reality. I can't wait to get started. he he he. Look for more soon.
