| One of my new greeting cards... sweet and glittery |
Blog post from 2012 - Until six
years ago, I’d held a belief that I couldn’t draw. Although I had enjoyed doing
various creative projects, I had never attempted sketching. One day I sat down
with a pencil, paper and my daughter’s elementary school drawing. I tried
copying what she had done with some success.
That day
something magical began to unfold. I discovered an artist deep within me. I
started playing with paints, markers and anything else I could get my hands on.
Slowly my drawings improved. Then one day
a voice inside me said, “you’re going to design greeting cards.” My reply to
this internal voice was, “how is that possible?” Today my
cards are in the finest gift stores in the area. I could never have imagined
this during that first rough drawing. I still shake my head. All
these years later it still feels brand new, dream-like & exciting. No one knows
one’s true potential until one takes risks and tries new things. I am thankful
for that one moment when I looked at my daughter’s drawing and said to myself,
“I wonder if I could do that?”
