I have been gone for so long. Well, since I've been gone, many tragic things have happened. Our little dog Jessie has passed on. Also, the bad dogs next door killed our momma goat, Ducky. The dogs got put down, which to us is a good thing. I know I shouldn't be happy that dogs have died, but they were so dangerous. They were two large German shepherds that could have easily have killed me or my sister, Jenny. I would write more, but it's hard talking about it...

For a couple of weeks I was not feeling normal. I was worn out and felt like I had very little energy. I also had trouble falling asleep. But now, I am starting to feel better. I've been drinking soymilk instead of milk, so maybe I am lactose intolerent. It's possible because milk upsets my sister and grandfather. Who knows, maybe it was some kind of virus. We did bloodwork and all the tests came back negative-mono, valley fever, lupus, thyroid problems, diabetes- which is great. I hope whatever it is (or was) is gone now.

Originally this was a painting of a building in the city at night, but I painted over the building and used pastels to make the grass and the moonglow.

Well, I have changed my blog again. If you have been here recently, you saw the plaid header and yellow backround. I'm glad it's gone. I got the flower backround from an assorted box of cards and took it into Photoshop to add the "Katie the Queen".I am so proud!

I'm off to the beach today with one of my best friends and her family. I go with them every year--it's a tradition!
Illustration Friday "Twist"
I just looked at this piece this morning and thought "this will be my twist!"
I made this a while back, but I was very proud of myself when I made it. I used pastels and acrylics.
I'm just having a plain old rotten day. I should probably get a good night's rest. My mom and I went down to buy paint for my room and I was very excited when we got home. So, we tested the paint on the wall, and it is really yellow. Not neon, but not what I wanted, so I'm a little upset with that. I've pretty much been a couch potato since then. Maybe sometime when I feel a little better I'll post some pictures of my bedroom.

The header and little picture was made by me! I am so proud of myself. With a little help from my mom, I have a newly decorated blog for the summer. I love it, I love it, I love it!!!

Tammy Vitale interviewed me for a young emerging artist , so if you're interested, check it out! Hopefully I'll create and post more art. It got me inspired to do more work, but testing in school this week will definitely set me back. Well, I hope you get to see the interview on Tammy's blog(there's even a good picture of me!)!

Well speaking of long, I cut my hair on Wednesday night. It is now a little below my shoulders. I might get bangs soon, but who knows. I woke up early this morning thinking I had school, but I have a 4 day weekend.The goats are still cute, although Gryphon is WAY bigger then Phoenix. We recently burned their horns, which stops the horns from growing. We did this for various reasons. My mom mentioned that if the get caught on the fence with their horns on a hot day, they could get dehydrated. Also, without horns they can't hurt us.Yesterday, I was looking through scrapbooks with my sister and it was fun to see myself in pictures when I was a baby. I'll try to find a good one to post. Well, I'm off to the studio to make "green" for my Illo. I also have to reply to a tag.

Well, the baby goats have names. The brown goat is Gryphon and the little gray one is named Phoenix. The momma goat is not accepting Phoenix. She actually threw him over her back yesterday with her horns! I started crying, it was so horrible. We are now bottle feeding him. He is so funny though. He climbs on the stacks of books and plays with one of our small dogs. Right now, he is sleeping under the desk. He is the cutest thing ever! So is Gryphon, but we don't see him as much. We are going to let the momma out and reunite the two brothers. I think we are going to do that now.

Our goat, Ducky, had three adorable baby goats. One of them died(the only girl), something just wasn't right. The other two are very healthy. One is brown and one looks like the mommy.Click here if you would like to see some pictures. They are so cute!

I'm excited about participating in Finding Water! Check out the blog if you haven't already! I do my morning pages with my mom because my mom is doing this too. This might inspire me to do more art and go more inspiring places, like antique shops, art galleries, etc... Well, I'm very excited!!!

This is my favorite one.But of course there is dirt on it from my dog. I tried to erase it in photoshop, but the file wouldn't load so I said, "oh well!" and posted the original (after cropping).

I've been tagged by Emila! So now, I have to write six weird things about myself:
1. When I wear jeans, the metal buttons give me a rash under my belly button.
2. I have a freckle on the top of my head.
3. When I was little, there were about two and a half years where I would wer nothing but dresses.
4. I used to eat spoonfuls of butter.
5. One year, during a basketball game, I passed the ball through someone's legs.
6. I don't get sick when I'm watching or comforting someone while they're barfing.

I've been drawing some cute little monsters. My favorite one got squished by my dog, so he needs some repair but here is one of them.
I'm sorry I haven't gotten around to making any Illustrations for IF. I got Superhero halfway done and didn't even brainstorm for Red, so I can't say I will get Sprout done but, I will try. I'm just so caught up in school , which you can say is a good thing, so I might not get around to it.

Basketball game at school today. It was more of a slapping fight than a basketball game. The other team was a rude rude team. At one point, I turned around and smirked to the girls sitting out on the other team. I don't really care if we lost. Anyway, I am still going to post my IF: Superhero even tho it's late. IF: Red is coming soon!

My submission for Illustration Friday. I made three different things before I was happy with what I made. My mom liked them all and wondered why I didn't, too.
My sister's cat, Jane, has a large(deep)wound from who knows what.
Possibilities of the Attacker:
1.Bad Dogs (the two german sheperds next door)
2.Mountain Lion
3.***Racoon***
My guess is the racoon because we have this cat food dispenser outside and the racoon could have attacked Jane while eating. My parents think that too

Happy 2007!!! I'm sorta glad that 2006 is over, but I just got used to writing 2006 at the top of my paper. But now it's time for a new start. Wow. Just think, no more 2006 forever. Never again. That was the only 2006, and now, it's gone forever.
