For some silly reason I find myself thinking, mmmmm which is my favorite - not sure why - and I couldn't pick one if I had to - Love the baby ensemble, the colorful flower cowl, the giraffe,and elephant, and animal prints, and the collaged photo - great ideas and oh so wonderful treats!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03745918161344486602noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-76959011795445761082009-03-13T20:37:00.000-07:002009-03-13T20:37:00.000-07:00I love all of your comments and will respond...it'...I love all of your comments and will respond...it's late here and my cousin gets married in the morning (life has been nuts!!) but I will be back this weekend...loove your thoghtfulness..all of you,..love your spirit cheering and magic...thanks for being here...you mke my world brighter..nightNatashahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14700445200303617499noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-24336724043957131252009-03-13T18:54:00.000-07:002009-03-13T18:54:00.000-07:00Though I wasn't able to participate, i couldn't wa...Though I wasn't able to participate, i couldn't wait to see all the new safari creations. <BR/><BR/>They are all so unique. Here is just a few of my favs. <BR/><BR/>I think "Our Name is Mud", created a terrific PINK ELEPHANT. The intro made me lol. Great piece.<BR/><BR/>"Explore" the Wild Cover hand-bound jotter<BR/> from Amanda (Persistent Green), is stunning! <BR/><BR/>I like (Jody's), "My Pencil Portraits", "Mother's Love." She knows how to draw!<BR/><BR/>Giraffelabel's amazingly cute "Safari clean-up crew." As a mom you gotta love it.<BR/><BR/>And Natasha: my passion is writing children's stories and creating new characters. So the adoration and love i have for this silly little monkey is enormous. What's his name?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for these sweet treats Natasha. I am hooked.Gina@ A bit of whimsy!https://www.blogger.com/profile/08260082759700482007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1438262482678835889.post-52022810791095882382009-03-13T08:12:00.000-07:002009-03-13T08:12:00.000-07:00Fantastic work everyone!

In my life right now, I'm not producing sellable art so much as I am holding onto the artist part of my identity, while in the midst of some huge changes. Having this prompt each week to tuck inside my thought and heart, lets me go through the days as an artist, despite what the outside of my life looks like. I'm so proud of each of us--the brave sharing, the loving and excited support of each other. Kinda feels like I found some new family.aquamaureenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17368274520999097910noreply@blogger.com
