DON'T PEAK YET!!
So I have NEVER been a good artist when it comes to drawing.
I took art my senior year in high school, and I had a love-hate relationship with my art teacher. Looking back, I really did like her, but we'd often make jabs at each other. She'd make fun of me for being a cheerleader, and I'd be as sarcastic as possible with out getting ISS. All fun, of course. She even wrote me a note that she'd miss the banter.
Well, one day, I was walking to class with a few of my friends. We passed my art class, and all along the wall outside the classroom (up above the lockers) were self portraits students had drawn (a mandatory assignment), and MINE was one of them. I was MORTIFIED. My teacher KNEW I struggled and hated my self portrait. I wanted to throw it away, but instead, MY portait hung high. My friends started laughing, and I ran in begging the teacher to remove it. She didn't.
I had no idea my mom had hung onto it until just before I got married and she pulled it out to show Cliff. I thought it successfully made its way to the dumpster.
Welllll..... I've been storing a bunch of my mom's things, and we met up in El Paso this weekend. I'm passing her things off, and Cliff and I were going through it all last weekend, and this is what we came across (my mom refuses to throw it away, and Cliff STILL gets a KICK out of it).
Really? I mean, really?! Must we hold onto this? I won't tell you the awful things that have been said about this masterpiece. But really? I could have thrown it away, but I guess we have to keep the bad projects along with the good. NOW you can laugh, because honestly, I can't stop laughing when I look at it.

It definitely gave me a good laugh as well, but seriously I couldn't laugh long because mine would be soooooo much worse. At least if I saw this I would know it was you, it has some similarities so don't feel too bad! Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog and my sisters, you are one of my top 5 favorite commenters!!! oh and the facebook quiz...how lame that I missed the question about your engagement! DUH I was living with you when it happened...not Hawaii. Total brain fart, I hope you forgive me:-)
