so on monday i scurried around town in a bit of a flurry to get my grant proposal turned in for the Createhere Make Work grants. I have been in a bit of a blur ever since I decided to jump on this train. I was so hesitant to embark on such a journey that may or may not produce any fruit whatsoever.... somehow it felt like critique time back in ye ol' art department days where you labor and labor over a project till the wee hours of the morning only to find out the next day that your work was dreadfully lacking in compositional integrity or somethin... erg. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate those hard times of learning the fundamentals, but let's be honest... that is hard stuff... not the funest fo sho....
anyways... all this to say, I got up the gumption to submit a proposal for a project that has been incubating in my brain for many many years and I'm so glad I did... even if I don't make the cut. If you're wondering what this elusive proposal is about, I will fill ya'll in if I pass the test.
and one last thing... I wanted to give a shout out to Lauren & Cannon for the awesome words of recommendation... thanks more than you know. and I also wanted to just say to my mom and my sweet little fam... thank you for putting up with zombie jen while I have been so consumed. I promise that you will no longer have to put matchbox cars in my coffee cup or say my name 12xs to get my attention. love yous

JEN - I am your secret admirer :-) I told Linda the same thing. I love to read her blog and yours. You both have a beautiful way with words and the most amazing pictures. Those two little girls of yours and their little pixie faces are just too much! I can't help but think of how much fun your Mom is having and how proud she must be.
My sweet daughter,
I just want to say again how proud I am of you for the hard work you put into your proposal. I was excited when I read what you are hoping to do - and even though I am your Mom (and Darla, I am having so much fun and think Jen is just amazing!)I think what you are wanting to do is personally and communally beneficial. So, my prayers are with and for you. And, I love that pink Matchbox car in your almost empty mug! Love, Mom
Oh, girl, I'm so proud of you for submitting!!!
