For Emily's challenge this week we get to make our journal cards have an "I Am" statement about ourselves. I have to say this one was easy shmeasy for me to know what I would do because I have a bit of a princess complex- in a NON high-maintenance kind of way. :) I happen to love all things princessy, sparkly, shiny, fairytale, magical, etc. I always have. I can’t help it. I love fairy tales, but along with that I have deep beliefs about God and that I am his daughter- a princess.*small confession* I have a collection of tiaras that I love to wear around the house. I usually wear them while I am cooking or cleaning- no, not to feel like Cinderella. It’s because I am a stay-at-home mom and sometimes it can be a bit thankless and at times not very glamorous. There have been days when I have forgotten my worth and so to keep an eternal perspective, remember who I am, and feel proud of the choice I have made to be a mom and stay home with my girls I wear my little tiara. Besides it’s fun!
I had a wonderful time drawing and painting this today! Too fun. Also I’m so impressed with everyone else who is doing this. It’s inspiring to see what you all do. I’m looking forward to my little art time next week and seeing what you all create. CHEERS!

absolutley fab just love your paintings
I'm participating in Emily's "deck of me" challenge too, so that is how I came across this link. Your card is ADORABLE!!!! I couldn't paint like that to save my life. This is the cutest, and I love the story behind it. You keep wearing your tiaras. I've been a stay-at-home mom for a long time now. I just went back to work part time, but I could've used some of those tiaras too! Thanks for sharing your talent and your story!

I love your card - it is beautiful!
I have a daughter, age 7, who is a princess too, by your definition. Anything frilly, cute or fun, in a Princess-y way is what she's all about. I see her being a really great mom some day.
Thanks for your post. It really made me glad for my wife, who is also a stay-at-home mom, and who loves my kids and I very deeply. I feel very blessed, and feel very grateful to women like yourself and my wife, who really care about what's most important-- and show it by their words and in the way they live.
Oh, and your new avatar is adorable.
I LOVE your princess card, so beautiful :)I'm amazed at how talented you are :)
Wow, gorgeous, what a talent.
