On my Way Home

I'm on my way home from Art Unraveled, and I have a four hour, yes FOUR HOUR layover in this little tiny airport just an hour and a half from my home, and home airport.
But... the ticket was cheaper this way, and so, I'm catching up on emails, eating in the wonderful restaurant here (yes, it really IS one of the BEST restaurants around, no joke!!!) and I'm going to watch Traci Bautista's video that I picked up at the AU Shopping "Extravaganza" while I wait. The time really IS going by rather quickly.

But... in the restaurant, they have a little trivia booklet, and freezer paper on the tables with crayons to draw all over the paper. I LOVE this, and love the fact that when I'm on my way home from AU, I have one little last "gasp" of art before I re-enter "real life."

So, I sat down, ordered my glass of wine and proceeded to draw where the plate would go, where the wine glass would go, etc, etc, and then doodled over most of the paper. Great, right? Yup, until I picked up the little laminated brochure they had on the table, which also had a bunch of cool trivia - one section was quotations. Well, anyone who knows me, knows I LOVE quotations!! Here are my favorites:

"Delay is preferable to error." -Thomas Jefferson

"All that we are is the result of what we have thought." - Buddha

"Gravity cannot be held responsible for falling in love." - Albert
Einstein

and my favorite of the evening-----

"Few things are harder to put up with than a good example." - Mark Twain

What great journal pages these will make!

Till next time!

I have just spent the most amazing 5 days at Art Unraveled. To all of my new friends and all of my renewed friendships, thanks for making the time together so much fun. To all of my teachers, thanks for helping inspire my creativity & helping me to see things in a new or different way. What a wonderful time together! Until next time!
