Accomplishments, are good to talk about...

I haven't posted in a while. To be honest I really haven't done a lot of design work this semester so I don't feel compelled to post assignments, because...I don't have any. I have been keeping up with other blogs and websites, so I have tons of inspiration just nothing to prove all of my "research." I am still insecure with my daily journaling which I totally slacked this weekend. I forgot two nights in a row! This entry is taking me way out of my comfort zone and I will show you my progress so far. But before I do I want to thank a dear friend of mine. Ana :) She e-mailed me today and said "BTW You need to post something on your Blog...." She totally called me out! Which is why I think she is awesome! Definitely thankful to have her in my life :)

"Snowball J" this is when I started to do my own thing with my letters. The pressure was off and I could do whatever!

I like this one because experience is spelled experienec. If you know me you know I'm a poor speller. But I learn from practice. Which is what this quote is all about. I sure make mistakes, but that's how I learn. That's how everyone learns. Experience and mistakes. They go hand in hand.


That is what my husband told me last night. He filled up my "love tank." He let me know he needed me and it made me feel 100% full of love from him. What a wonderful feeling to have :)

One last photo to post. This will explain my title. Today I went to the VA Hospital in Fort Wayne. I went to cover a News Conference for a photographer at IPFW (only the second event I've covered). A piece of art I created for this hospital was there. I didn't know it was going to be at that hospital so I was excited when I turned the corner to see my piece at the end of the hall. It was the first one on the left right before the door to the auditorium. Thinking about that moment is like a movie for me. Everything is in slow motion and I'm in "awe." I was really excited to photograph an event that had so many dignitaries there. The Chancellor, Dean and Chair from the VCD department at IPFW were there, and Congressman Mark Souder came to "unveil" the artwork. That was another "movie moment for me" being in a room full of important people. Those are my favorite memories. The ones that slow down and nothing else matters. I got the privilage to have my photo taken with the Chair from the VCD department Haig David-West by my art work. He heard me ask someone to photograph me next to my work and said let me stand with you. My experience today felt so surreal. This event was not for me at all. This event was to "dedicate" the student artwork to the Veterans who fought for our freedom.



A very proud moment in my life. I am not bragging, I'm simply sharing an experience that I will always remember.
