Talent

I have zero.

Seriously, it has to be one of the most pathetic things to be a person who wants so desperately to be artistic and creative - and yet have zero capability of doing so.

Since I can't be one of the lucky ones who has an artistic eye, hand or anything else for the matter, i like to give props to those who do.

Most of these people won't even know I'm doing this...and now that i think about it I hope they don't mind. If you check out the blogs that I'm following you will see a couple of the people I love to check in on. It's so fun to see what projects they are working on or fun ideas they came up with. Mostly, i just read their blogs in envy wishing i could learn to "do that."

The first one is a blog i came across when i was still pregnant. I must have found her on one of the message boards from http://www.thebump.com/ or something like that. Her name is Natalie Malan and she also had a baby girl a few months ago. Anyway...she makes so many beautiful things and also has a sister blog/site off of her personal blog that's called See Jane Scrapbook. I think about emailing her from time to time just to tell her how much i love to see the things she makes, but then i think of how creepy and stalker-ish that makes me, and i decide against it.

The next one is Hillary Duarte Photography. I know i can talk about Hillary because she's like a big sister to me...and even if she gets embarrased...well...I don't care :) Hillary has a great love for taking pictures and it turns out she has a great eye for it as well! Now I'm so proud of her because things have seemed to take off and she's become a hot commodity for families, engaged couples and even businesses. I can't wait to be home in CA for Thanksgiving so we can finally get a family portrait done! Anyway - check out Hillary's blog for recent photography shoots she's done and to hear about what she has coming up. I see great things in her future ;)

Lastly, i came across this site by reading a blog that i enjoy following - http://www.theblogfairy.com/. According to her blog she is a self taught at Photoshop...which inspires me even more so to get a copy and start playing around! Anyway, i thought her site was cute and was such a great way to put her creative juices to work and make other people's blogs pretty.

So off i go to bed soon, not having done anything creative or hobby-like for the day.

Oh well. Better luck in my next life ;)
