Macro Feature and Updates

First:  

I'm full swing into summer break now and absolutely loving it.  One of the best parts about being a teacher is having this time to re-energize and refresh my mind and creativity.  A whole year of helping 125 kids a day with their ideas and art can be taxing on my own creative endeavors. I have done a lot of new photography lately and hope to do more.  I'm also wanting to try my hand more with digital and traditional illustration.  You may have seen my newest deviation which is a painting for my niece's 2nd birthday for her new "big girl" room.  I now also have access to a tablet and I can't wait to start using it more and getting the hang of it.  Look for new dev's soon!

Second:

My deviation "Bursting at the Seams" has reached over 100 favs!!  This is my first deviation to achieve this so I am very very very excited!

Third:

My artwork has been featured in many places recently including news articles and fellow deviants journals.  Please take a look and also look at their galleries as well.  I appreciate all the support!

And Last but NOT LEAST:

I started a thread on the Thumbshare Forum looking for quality macro photography to feature.  I was impressed with the quality and range of subject matter that poured in.  And without further adieu,
