Wow! It's Been a Long Time!!!

I hadn't realized how long it's really been and since I was here last.  I was so sure that I'd be able to keep writing but every time I get ready to start something comes up.  Well, here goes again.  I've been trying to get over some back sliding in my life and I've been working on building up my belief in myself.  I've tried so many things in my life and the only thing I know I'm good at is my art.  The big problem with that is that I just don't believe in myself enough.  I am my own worst enemy and I want to stop it now.  I guess I wrote in one of the other entries about my new interest.  It's customizing Breyer and Stone horses.  I found out about it by accident while I was searching for something online.  I have a lot of horses now and I'm just starting to learn how to do the customizing.  It's really exciting and I can't wait to get one of my herd done.  I have a dozen or so in different states of disrepair right now.  I've slowed down a lot because I'm starting to doubt myself again.  I really just have to go forward and make my mistakes and learn.  I'm such a perfectionist!!!  What a pain.  It can really slow up progress.  As soon as I figure out how to get some pictures up, I'll take some of my work going forward.  I'd like to keep track of the work anyway.  I'm hoping I can get my inspiration back again.  I'll have to keep writing and I might be able to inspire myself.
