Sometimes, It's the Small Things In Life...

that make you the happiest. My daughter's tiny fingers wrapped around my thumb, a phone call to my favorite abuelita, or simply peering out my front door to see my favorite tree. I finally decided to do a layout about the tree this weekend. Its flowers just bloomed a few days ago and they are stunningly gorgeous this year.

I tackled another tough issue this weekend...my memories of 9/11. I ended up doing a layout after many years of being reluctant to revist them. After completing the layout I really do feel much better. Expressing those emotions through art really helped me to come to terms with the whole event.
