Hello friends! It is summer; so I know it is heating up all over the US. I wish we could have temperatures on the 60's and 70's all year long; but that isn't happening here in Southern CA.
I wanted to share my Inspiration Post using Ching-Chou Kuik "Dreamy Lily" digi. Isn't she lovely?! I created this for my granddaughter, Abigail; who will be 18 yrs old this year. She is such an inspiration to me. I have always wanted to be a writer; but I didn't make it happen. She has written several books; not published yet; and is in the process of writing a sequel to her last book. Abigail is so very talented that I am in awe of her. Plus, she is so dedicated to her writing. She writes a chapter almost every night; even though she is in high school with lots of activities. One of my biggest challenges was not making the time to sit down and write; but she doesn't let things get in the way of her dream. I hope she makes it happen. I just worry about her; because she stays up really late to do her writing.
I tried to color this kitten similar to her cat, Lani. I found it is harder to color a little kitten from a picture of a full grown cat. LOL! I did the best I could; and I know she will love it.
