What a great way to let us know what is going on in your life at the moment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Your art is inspiring me to do mine. How great a compliment is that? None better in my mind anyway.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Congratulations on your web site and your entire outlook on design for the modern woman.

I LOVED art! However, growing up, I never got a chance to do more than finger paint in elementary school. That all changed last year when I felt this unexplainable urge to buy some paint and brushes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You should have seen me in the Artists section of the store. I was lost! Oils, acrylics, water colors, types of brushes...and the list went on. I decided on some oil paint and completed my purchase with the tools I needed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I went home that night to play. I needed to have some fun! I looked at that scary blank canvas waiting for me, took a deep breath, and made a brush stroke. I had NO idea what to paint, I was just "slapping color" and doing something new. What happened was a beautiful landscape with a night sky, and an old barn was born on that canvas. I was awestruck, and in love with painting!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Today, I paint my designs on clothing, producing works of art for my clients to express themselves through. I help them to express their uniqueness and personality in ways they&lt;br /&gt;may not have thought of before.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I love what I do! Designing and serving others is not a separate thing for me. It's the whole picture.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What is it that you love to do? Are you doing it?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Take a step today to finding your passion and expressing it in your own unique way.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You can find me at &lt;a href="http://www.funkedupdesignz.com/"&gt;www.funkedupdesignz.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rebecca&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5986547297592268052-2524010097933251343?l=funkedupdesignz.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://funkedupdesignz.blogspot.com/feeds/2524010097933251343/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5986547297592268052&amp;postID=2524010097933251343&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5986547297592268052/posts/default/2524010097933251343'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5986547297592268052/posts/default/2524010097933251343'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://funkedupdesignz.blogspot.com/2008/04/doing-what-you-love-and-serving-others.html' title='Doing what you love and serving others'/><author><name>Rebecca Nichols</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15189670971196927327</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='30' height='32' src='http://bp1.blogger.com/_6gUTZ5WjuZE/SA9F92GhCxI/AAAAAAAAAAw/tpHy30YaTC8/S220/blackwater.jpg'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
