Olympic time!!

I love the olympics!!! makes me wonder what I might have done if I hadn't been such a lazy kid. I was actually pretty good at gymnastics...all the flipping around all over the place...good times :)

This particular pose always makes me nervous. It looks awesome but there are so many ways this could result in injury.

It's not that good...just a quick little doodle while watching the USA beam routines....I'm still trying to work on the photoshop painting skills. I have no idea what's wrong with me, I'm good at painting with paint, photoshop shouldn't be any different. I honestly think I over think everything, thus always making it look like a 2nd grader did it.

i regret the gray background. :-/
but eh, it was just a quick little doodle....

Summer Camp!

I work at a cub scout camp during the summer, where I teach arts and crafts!! So last week's theme was Australia, and I had a few free periods and I got bored. I forgot my sketchbook but luckily I was helping the kids make cave drawings, so I had sandpaper and crayons handy! And being Australia week, I had of course been quoting Finding Nemo like crazy to try and get an Australian accent...

Finished Stamps!

I finally am getting around to posting this!
I finished the other two stamps awhile ago, and gave them to my mom and grandma as mother's day presents! They always take me to musicals and our favorites are always Rodgers and Hammerstein's musicals!

So the finished Sound of Music, Cinderella and The King and I!
I saw this at the Merriam Theater in Philadelphia! (which ironically my school now owns)

I recently took my grandma to this at the Walnut Street Theater for Christmas. I love this musical!! I had the cartoon version as a kid, but nothing beats the version with Yul Brynner! etc, etc, and so forth

This is by far my favorite one!! The hills are alive with the sound of music!!! Julie Andrews will always be the one and only Maria.
I love musicals, I was watching the movie versions as I was making these.
And now I'm posting and I want to watch them all again!

It will be awhile until I post some more, I'm the maid of honor at 2 weddings!! I'll be super busy!
