Our house is a fun one! I have a 15 & 1/2 year old human daughter, Janelle Laurynn, and a 4 year old canine "son", Buddy Lee.
He is SOOOOOO smart! He's a Pit Bull but forget all the stigma out there, he is by far the BEST dog I've ever had! After people have seen him perfomr his tricks, they're amazed! They've even said "Your dog is so polite. He actually has manners!" I've treated him like he was one of my kids from day one! He has the personality of a Golden Retriever and I have him trained with over 40+ commands.


I can even take a piece of steak and put it INSIDE his mouth and he won't even move a muscle (even if I were to walk out of the room) until I count to 3 and say "OK!" That is just one in many! He is the Bomb and definately a hit with the kids.
Everyone loves him!
And you should see him chase after a laser light, it's a riot. I even got him trained that we can catch the laser light in our hands and throw it back down on the ground.... I'll have to get video of it on here. It's too funny!

It's a definate that I was born to dance! I love it! Mom and Dad joke around that I have been dancing ever since I could pull myself up in the crib,lol. And before that I was bouncing on my butt in my Huggies, LOL!
Give me Salsa, Hip-Hop, Swing, Jazz, Country, anything and I'm one happy camper! LOL Guaranteed you come over to my house and we be Jammin! LOL

I love to paint & draw & my daughter has even been blessed with the gift.
Give me something to look at (if necessary) and it's on! Or just let me at it and who knows what I'll create. Take a look in my pictures under "Portrait Drawings" to see most of my works. Also look in "Painted Works, etc."The Inuyasha paintings were actually done on the side of a cosmetic makeup box for a friend's daughter. The ornaments are actual ones that I sold last year. I'm taking orders for this year if you're interested. Just message me and we'll talk. Each ornament is personalized and if you're wondering if I can paint it.. the answer is probably yes!



There are pictures I drew mostly in High School and in my early 20's. The picture of the room with a clock and the number 7 in the ceiling was recognized and published in the local paper where I went to school. The one of the girl posing in a dress is the earliest I can find. It was done in 8th grade! That was 20 years ago....GEEZ I feel old!! Most of the time when I am doodling I'll draw women, it just comes easy I guess. Go figure cause I am one! Duh!



Next are ones from about the last 5-8 years. The guy & girl in cowboy hats.....well that one is part of a self portrait.... ok so I was nice to me, so what!! LOL But the very most recent ones are: 1.The one of the young girl leaning on her hand. That's Chelsea, my friend's daughter that I painted the Inuyasha for. And 2nd is the one of the couple standing cheek to cheek. There should be more to come here in the future. I have about 3-4 different works in mind right now. I'll keep y'all posted. Let me know what you think.


Music
Music Video Codes By Music Jesus.com


Oh man I love all styles of music, from Christian (like Mercy Me, Audio Adrenaline, Family Force Five, Nichole Nordeman, Tammy Trent, Natalie Grant, ZoeGirl, Barlow Girls, KJ-52, Newsboys, Relient K, Aaron Shust, Jars of Clay, and on and on. Hey does anyone remember from back in the 70's Evie Karlsson? Man I loved her! My favorite Christmas song growing up was by Evie Karlsson "Come On Ring Those Bells". Go download it! It's awesome! Anyways for today my favorite songs are: "Amazing Love", "My Saviour, My God" and "I Can Only Imagine", & "The Real Me" by Natalie Grant


Then on to Frank Sinatra,Swing & Jazz, 50's, Disco & 80's, Country (lots of it), even Linkin Park & Staind. Music has always had a big part in my life. It helps me to portray what I feel by what I listen to.
Books
Started reading at a very early age. I think I was reading Reader's Digest by the time I was 6.
I love Guideposts Magazine. Being a Mom sometimes that's about the only thing you have time to read! The bathroom is our sanctuary, don't ya know.

But if I had the time......
I'd love to read & curl up with a good book. I like to read books that have a combination of science fiction, mystery, murder, comedy, & love.
My Mom just gave me Robin McGraw's "Inside My Heart"... I'll have to make a point of reading it.

My number one Hero would be my Heavanly Father, as the picture below shows He has always held me, guided and protected me. He can do the same for you.

As for here on Earth I would say my heroes are my parents. They went through so much in trying to raise my brother, sis, & I to be God fearing, loving, intelligient individuals. I love you MOM & DAD! And DAD.... thanks 4 being an Earthly example of what my Heavanly Father is. By doing so I know for a fact it has made my walk with Him all that much easier. You've worked so hard as well to spread the word of God by seeing KLOVE go nationwide, I know with out a doubt when the Lord calls you home, He will say "Well done my good and faithful servant. Well done." I've always been so proud to be your daughter, Mom and Dad. Thank you for giving me the solid foundation growing up. Even when I strayed that foundation of love, committment, God's saving grace,it was all still there deep within me, and when I'd had enough of what the world lashed out on me, having that foundation made it easier to find my way back home. I love you both very much!
Then there's my best bud, Becca. Girl I love ya! Through it all you have been there and when I fell apart,you've picked me up off the floor more times than I can count. You are a blessing to me.
Now........ I could never ever forget my daughter, Janelle Laurynn.

Sweetie you are my gift from above & I will love you for as long as the Lord allows. My inspiration to keep trying to make things better for us. I see you go through so much more than what I went through in peer pressure and I am proud of you. You may not always make the best decisions, but so far the ones you do I am proud of you for. Keep it up Nelly, Mommy loves you!







And last but certainly not least, thank you from the bottom of my heart to the soldiers (and their families) for sacrificing all they have for the sake of my freedom. If it were not for what you do today, I would not have had the freedom even now to express myself and my beliefs as I have done so on here. Thank you for all that you do. May God bless you and yours.

Absolutely LOVED "Diary of a Mad Black Woman" that one jerked just about every emotion out of me. One minute I was roaring @ Madia's antics, and the next crying my eyes out, or (truthfully, honestly....)wanting to slap the you know what out of the husband.
Pretty much my interest in movies is alot more the comical side and alot like my interest in books. Same type of taste.
Just watched Short Circuit, such a classic! "Johnny Five is Alive!!" And caught up on another classic "Princess Bride" ....."My name is Juanito Montoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die!" LOL
Man they just don't make them like that anymore!

Custom Ribbon Magnet: In Loving Memory of Cary L. Wright



HEY EVERYONE! Instead of putting on here just a few choice songs in a Player I want to encourage you to GO TO: www.KLOVE.com
and you can get live streaming Christian music 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
I was able to watch this station be co-founded with the help of my dad along with many others who desired to spread the love of God through positive and encouraging music. It began back in the late 80's and is now worlwide thanks to the net.
I've been inside the station, seen the love that is so ever present there.
God truly has His hand upon this station.
Holy is the Lord! How devine, how wonderous are His plans for us! We praise and lift up His name!
Holy, holy, holy! You alone are God! The Heavens lift up your name!



A deep fascination for life makes for a large part of my personality. I love to laugh/share good times with friends. I find it easy to understand the other person's ways / thoughts / feelings & respect them for it.Optimistic,deeply caring & compassionate, loyal to my friends, very romantic/creative. By the grace & mercy of God I am 9 yrs. clean 'n' sober. :) I Enjoy spending quiet time with those I'm close w/. I love to go outside @ night and just sit still with my Heavenly Father,staring up @ in awe @ the veil of stars that He spread across the skies. Feel the breeze caress my cheek. It's so beautiful. I can feel His love for me in the beauty He displays before me.
I have been blessed in my life with many whom I love and who love me back, but none as deep or as strong as the love my Lord has for me.


I take great pride in being a single parent to my daughter. She is a gift that I must treasure, hold, & guide. Being a parent is a huge blessing & a responsibility. I'm the example of what my daughter could live her life by.

I absolutely love animals. I am a passion freak about pet's health. Trust me .... don't get me started...lol :)~

Right now my focus is on my Lord and drawing closer to Him. Learning what it really means to be HIS daughter. That's what we all are, HIS children. And though we may be one in many thousands He knows our hearts, our pains, our hopes & desires, our loves & dislikes, our fears & faults....He still loves us, always has and always will. I have many friends & 2 best friends here on Earth, but Jesus is my life friend! LOL

HERE IS MY MOST RECENT PORTRAIT COMPLETED: 1-27-07

Photobucket - Video and Image Hosting




Sorry the detail is so fuzzy, this darn computer. If you've got any advice as to how to get better pics let me know.
Anyway.....
I have had this picture sitting on my art desk for over a month now waiting to be finished.I had wanted to portray Jesus' face, but was hesitant to do so. I think I was a little afraid to. I don't know why. Finally I couldn't take it anymore. What was holding it up was drawing Jesus' face. But when I sat down I began to pray and ask the Lord to guide my hand. Whooooo weeeeeee! I don't think I've ever felt my hand literally guided across the page. I loved it! So what ya think?
I have a few touch ups to still do on it, but all in all it's finished.
My daughter was my inspiration for the girls face.


Another thing is that this is the first free hand portrait that I've drawn in years. Usually I have a subject to look at and go off of. And this time I didn't.
I've seen so many different renditions of Jesus portrayed but I wanted to draw Him as I saw Him, as He wanted to be seen.

So last night as I began I prayed that He would show Himself to me. And He did. I wanted to portray love. I also wanted to portray His happiness at being able to hold a child to Him, one that had been lost and had returned.Soon I began to see the shadows and outlines of his face. I could almost hear Him quietly shushing the young girl in the picture, comforting her.

As I drew the girl there was a point there when I was drawing her hair (that's laying against His chest) and I could almost feel the softness of his chest as if it were me. I could hear the girl breathing deeply and sighing.

The whole time I was drawing this I heard the song and softly was humming that 'ol song that is so true...
"Oh how He loves you and me.
Oh how He loves you and me.
He gave His life
What more could He give?
Oh how He loves you
Oh how He loves me
Oh how He loves you and me"

I also kept hearing Natalie Grant's song "Held"
Especially the part....
"This is what it means to be held
How it feels, when the sacred is torn from your life
And you survive

This is what it is to be loved and to know
That the promise was that when everything fell
We'd be held"


As well another song also by Natalie that goes with this:

THE REAL ME
Foolish heart looks like we're here again
Same old game of plastic smile
Don't let anybody in
Hiding my heartache, will this glass house break
How much will they take before i'm empty
Do i let it show, does anybody know?

CHORUS:
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

Painted on, life is behind a mask
Self-inflicted circus clown
I'm tired of the song and dance
Living a charade, always on parade
What a mess i've made of my existence
But you love me even now
And still i see somehow

CHORUS:
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me
You're turning the tattered fabric of my life into
A perfect tapestry
I just wanna be me

CHORUS:
But you see the real me
Hiding in my skin, broken from within
Unveil me completely
I'm loosening my grasp
There's no need to mask my frailty
Cause you see the real me

And you love me just as i am
Wonderful, beautiful is what you see
When you look at me
