Believe it or ...You've been so busy on here, Julie! Believe it or not, blogging helps me relax. Since I'm not teaching right now, sometimes I don't get to use some of my skills in the way I'm used to. So with my blogs, at least I get to write and be creative. (My dad is happy I'm getting some use of my college education right now, although I routinely tell him that I am using child development, child psychology, art for children, and music for children DAILY!). <BR/><BR/>When I had more time I scrapbooked, but right now my blog is my digital scrapbook and eventually I will get back to the paper form... maybe when A stops putting everything in her mouth! I also like to knit and read! I've been doing quite a bit of both lately, constantly checking out books from the library and discussing knitting patterns with friends.Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519925071466083222noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29522895.post-79270011145105038972007-10-01T09:33:00.000-07:002007-10-01T09:33:00.000-07:00What do you like to draw?i can be detail oriented,...What do you like to draw?<BR/><BR/>i can be detail oriented, but i'm not so great with the larger part of organizing--or maybe it's just the keeping it organized that i'm not such a fan of--juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14354144831826180457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29522895.post-62510829772035639232007-09-30T09:32:00.000-07:002007-09-30T09:32:00.000-07:00i think it says you and i share a lot of things in...i think it says you and i share a lot of things in common!!

I can get completely lost while drawing. I have no awareness of the time that has passed while I'm doing it. Organizing, while it's not one of my favorite things in the world (my house will attest to that fact!), does seem to make the time fly for me as well. Once I convince myself that I need to get started, I get lost in the task. Yes, I still see it as a task, even if it makes the time fly! ;) I think I'm such a detail oriented person that I can drive myself crazy with organization. I get overwhelmed before I'm done. Oh, and writing. I can spend hours writing - that's one of my favorite pastimes. I really don't know what any of this really says about me and my personality, however! hah! ;)Tersiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05893338323139967279noreply@blogger.com
