Look at me being BRAVE!!

OK so here it is...my "Legal Graffiti"...my assignment for WrappedEmotions . i am feeling brave. i feel proud of myself. i am pretty sure that some of my family and maybe even a few close friend will think i am a little nuts. but right now, in this very moment, i don't really care. wow, typing that felt awesome! it is 2am...i decided i needed to do this assignment before i saw anyone elses, just in case i saw something FAR too beautiful and chickened out.


Just a little side note...i have a friend named Cristina (who lives in Florida now) and i have always thought of her as the most brave, free spirited woman i have ever known. to me she has always been fearless and creative and she has always just jumped into anything soulful or artistic with what i viewed as almost reckless abandon. i envied that. i wanted to feel that free. i wanted to not worry about judgment. when i decided to jump on board with WrappedEmotions i thought about Cristina, as i often do when i take a leap out of my comfort zone, and thought to myself..."self, it is time to start expressing yourself, unwrap, dig deep, and FEEL. it is time to share your soul...come what may" this is my first completed assignment since i jumped on board late. (Cristina...if you are reading this i love you, look at me being brave!!)

to all those who are here to view my Graffiti...you don't have to understand it, because it belongs to me, but i do hope you find the beauty in it....because it belongs to me.

I like all your glitter and sparklies. I've always found it kind of amazing how glitter can make a person feel happier. : )

I think it's awesome! I love the glittery swirls and the words that you used. I also love the header on your blog. So very real!

HolleeAnn!!! I love that you jumped in without even holding your breath. Your wild abandon and spirit for the project just leaps off the computer screen through your words and art.

It's wonderful how the glitter sparkles just as your enthusiasm. Fantastic creation, and it was done with great emotion.

BTW, I'm getting you on the blogroll. Welcome to the fun. :)

ooh glitter! love it. what a great interpretation of the prompt. can't wait to see more:-) (and i'm impressed by the getting it done so fast!)

I have known you for years HolleeAnn and you have always been the one i envied. You DO have an artistic spirit and you have shared it with others many times. It is in the way you are with children, I have seen you do some incredible things in the classroom. And now look at you, sharing your knowledge and talents with others so that ALL the kids in preschool get to experience that same magic. You rock!

Oh and I love the glitter!

That glitter screams joy, freedom and reckless art abandon. I love it! I have no idea what I'll do for mine, I'm certain my four year old could do better work than me, but I'm going to try. You did an awesome job!

Hi! Wow! The sparkle against the black, it feels like an entire universe to me! A night sky, complete with stars, constellations, and planets. VERY beautiful!
