"You know you are over the hill
when you start to use
your own children's hand-me-downs!"
(This is something I find myself saying a lot lately!)

I found a tin of long-forgotten crayons yesterday. They were hiding in the back of a closet, in a collector's tin celebrating Crayola's 90th anniversary in 1993.
When my children were younger, I always made sure they had plenty of art supplies so that their creativity would be nurtured and encouraged. When I saw all the wonderful colors, still vibrant after all these years, and smelled that wonderful familiar wax crayon smell, I couldn't help myself.
I had to draw something!

It felt wonderful to let my inner child out, to draw something freely, without any pressure to make ART.
It's just a crayon drawing of a cat in a window. And I think this is exactly what I needed to get myself drawing and painting again. No pressure - just pleasure. What fun!
