Growing up I thought that being an artist was something people didn't become, I never even considered it being a dream until I got older.. maybe even a smidge wiser.. I thought people like me were suppose to aspire to be a doctor or a lawyer, but never dare to be different or take chances.
I allowed myself to dream, and I let possibility in!
Don't worry Winston didn't swallow any crayons. :) Am I the only one who likes the smell of crayons?

PS I have some new paintings and scribbles that I am going to show you this week and I am super excited about it. :)

Hi Erika! I love the new look of your blog! So organized:) Hope you got lots of fun painting done this weekend! Have a great Monday!
I definitely have dreams/aspirations. I want to be a master diver someday. I'm working for it...slowly but surely.
P.S. I used to eat the paper around crayons when I was a kid. I was a little off...
Thanks for the motivational thoughts. I heard somewhere that if your goals don't seem impossible then you need set new ones. (o:
I was always afraid to try to the crayons. lol. afraid to eat paste also..
This post is well-timed for me to read. Thanks.
I must be a dreamer...but I'm one of those glass is half full people. I can't wait to see your new work!!!!
I love your motivational monday posts- they get me thinking! I have lots of dreams and I try to work my way to make them reality one step at a time.
I really loved this post Erika - it's a beautiful reality built from a dream ... as always I leave here feeling inspired! :)
It's funny how we constrain ourselves with concepts of what we think we 'should' be doing rather than doing what feels right.
Dreaming is magical and something I don't do often enough.
PS. I love the smell of crayons too, and I can't wait to see the new paintings! :)
To dream...often...although as of late it's been harder to do so...haven't been able to get lost in Christmas yet. Soon! Crayons don't taste like they smell...just stick to smelling them...I have a huge box full just for that...can't bring myself to actually use them so I just look at them and enjoy their smell!
i love the smell of crayons. I use to have a jetta and people always said it smelled like crayons. I got into a friend's jetta recently and it also smelled of crayons. The smell in that car was a bit more poignant than in my jetta from a couple years back but that was because there were crayons left under the seat in my friend's car.
anyway, yes, the smell of crayons, especially crayola crayons is awesome.
