This has been a great week full of learning and positive growth.
1 thing I learned this week is how important it is to do things for people to show I care.
I'm going to work on creating things for my friends and family, surprising them, because they expect to get nothing. I just did that this week! I created a picture of my two instructors sort of in cartoon form.
What kind of gifts do you treasure most?

Inspiration Friday
This Friday I spent time on two different projects inspired by people I know.
The first was inspired by a friend of mine that loves music and languages. She is fluent in Spanish and now we are learning Arabic together. She's about 36 years older than I am and she picks things up so quickly. I don't think it's really true what they say about youngsters being more absorbent of languages, at least not this youngster. I won't say I'm doing badly with it, but I know it takes effort on my part to soak it in.
My friend also plays the violin and lately she's been getting me to play. I quit orchestra after my freshman year, partly because I disliked our teacher, playing tests, our nun-ish orchestra dresses, and I wanted to replace it with an art class.
So for my friend, I am creating a violin pendant necklace out of polymer clay. I think I'll write her name in Arabic somewhere on the pendant as well, or make another pendant with her name.
The other project I'm working on is a caricature of my two instructors that I have for a 2 week course I'm taking right now. They are being our instructors completely free of charge, and they arre so genuine! So I thought to capture the fun personalities that they have in a caricature would be nice.
I will hopefully be posting pictures of what I end up with soon. :D
