It is slowly coming together!

The other day I showed you my fear of painting.  My fear of ruining an already pretty background... I had to fight the urge to not put it on the wall just as it was.  Silly right?  I didn't think so at first but once I decided to dive in, it definitely turned out that way.

I sat there looking at the blue surface,  wondering just how badly I was going to destroy it... thinking that perhaps if I just walk away then the painting itself would be saved... but I took you're advice.  I decided to JUMP IN!

I grabbed myself a white pencil crayon and started to map and plan it out.  I mean the last thing I needed was to not be able to fit everything I wanted in so I needed to write it out lightly so I could build on it.  At that point I was thinking: "this is fine... I can live with this... maybe I can paint it all over again with the blue and the white writing will go away....?"  I kept pushing... I MUST do this, I have never painted, nothing past say gr. 3 and I am DETERMINED to find some love for it.  I really enjoy doing it but I keep doubting myself.  Doubting my abilities, but I kept to it and stuck it out.  I NEED to do this, I need to prove to myself that I can do this at any age, at any skill level.  I need to prove to other moms that you can do something you've NEVER done before because you "thought you couldn't" or "I don't think I'll be very good at that".  These things can't stop us!  It is like rain in Vancouver if it stops you from doing something you'll never leave the house!  So here is what I finished with last night... I still need to keep going but it is turning out really good, in my opinion anyways.

What are somethings you've never tried but always wanted to???
