Once upon a canvas...
Once upon a time there was a white canvas. The white canvas stood next to many other white canvases on a store shelf... some bigger than others, but all looking very much the same.
All the white canvases wanted to grow up to become paintings, but this particular canvas was also a dreamer... She wanted to be so much more than an ordinary painting. She dreamed of becoming vibrant with colour and expression and to live an amazing and unique life! She wanted to be all that she could BE. She wanted to come alive and to travel the world.
One day she was picked up and brought to a room full of light and colour. The room was so bright that at first she couldn’t see...
Gradually, as her eyes adjusted to the new light, she found herself surrounded by bright and colourful paintings... and she was in awe. She wanted to be like them. She was so excited for the possibilites before her... it was hard to be patient. She wanted it NOW.
Finally one day, lines began to appear on her white canvas skin. She watched as the lines became shapes, and the shapes became characters... White Canvas was coming to life...

How I love a blank canvas! The possibilities at this stage are truly endless...

I love creating. I love the dreaming, the imagining, the doing... I love each step in the magical process of creating...
