Revealed by Nature

   I love to draw and paint, but being a mother of young children makes finding time to do... anything...rather difficult.  Over the last number of months, though, I've done some watercolors of different things in nature.  When I find those moments to draw and paint I feel more connected to God, since the beauty of His creation is what I am attempting to capture.  I've come to realize how important it is for me to carve out a moment of time every so often to do something I love and that makes me feel like "me."  Studying nature and painting refreshes and revitalizes me.

  Ever since I heard of Etsy I've hoped to have a site there.  Well, I finally pulled things together enough to come up with a set of 5 nature note cards.  I'm really excited about it because it encourages me to keep painting to produce new cards for the future, and it helps me feel productive (in a non wiping bottoms or folding laundry sense).
