2011 KICKED MY TAIL! ... Another move that year with YET ANOTHER MOVE on it's way come summer, and this time, out of state ... away from the kiddos for a little while. Honestly, the last thing I wanted to do this year was go to the festival feeling like it was going to be "work" when my body and brain was SCREAMING for some peace and relaxation.

I was flipping through my photos on my phone and came across a photo of me kissing Shai good night that I had taken right before I left for the festival.

Inspiration found! (Thanks, princess!)

No stencil, no print out and no grid line. Total free-form. Yeah, it may not be a perfect likeness, but choosing this photo to draw made it a ton of fun and helped me gain a bit more peace of mind. A friend/former colleague of mine came by that day with her family and I put her daughter to work. I'm pretty sure she'll be coming back next year.

It's contagious I tell ya!
