He is my darling little turtle…and well, I don’t want to give anything away to spoil the story! I started working on the finals in the beginning of September and have just started pages 13-14….

I thought I would do a little home-job-scanning and tease myself in seeing him on my computer, versus on my drawing boards back and forth every day from school.
My students are engaged in watching my entire process. A few minutes here, a few minutes there…I even let one squirkle a few scribbles of bulk into a page!

Dear Readers:
The most difficult part of this process, is finding the time and trying to get others to understand that much of my “free” time is needed to focus on my personal work. I hope everyone that asks me to paint murals, signs, etc…truly understands my reluctance…(it’s not easy, as I love being helpful!) Teaching all day, 2 nights a week, and the boys are both in sports (eating up our entire weekends!) being yearbook advisor for my first year AND we are still trying to sell our 1st home while juggling two mortgages! YIKES! I hope all our friends and family understands the pressure I have placed on myself to do what I need to do for our family and my project. We love you all and appreciate all your support!

I took photos this morning (doing drive-thrus) of all the beauty that surrounds my family and friends.
This town is truly a historic landmark…

This is the Starrucca House, it is an old railroad station…It’s one of the last Gothic Revival buildings still standing…and still in use! The breakfast buffet is to die for and is run by a local family.
