today when you're reading this) I'm going
to be drawing Oprah via Skype on her show. So
watch the show, and tell me what you think. I
will post the drawing Thursday night after the show
has aired.
Exciting? Over the top crazy, you can't imagine
how exciting. So...please watch if you're home when the
Oprah's on.

(Sam's friend stopped by after
her last exam. I like the way she's
about to pick up her tea. The painting
still needs some work.)
who was sitting in my kitchen yesterday, overjoyed
that her exams are over, and she's finished high school.
The past few months has been a whirlwind of new
ideas, and new ways of working. I believe that a lot
of the positive things that have happened to me, and
wonderful opportunities in my life have come through
friendships and connections I've made through the
simple practice of writing my daily blog, and visiting
your sites. I could not be more grateful to everyone
who has commented, on my blog, encouraged and helped me.
This is a magnificent moment in my life, and
I'm convinced that you are part of the reason why
some of my most heartfelt dreams are coming true.
Thank you my dear friends.
Have a we're-going-to-see-our-dreams-come-true day.

Barbara, how exciting! Can't wait to see what you do, since when it airs I'll be unable to watch it (carpool, tutoring, volleyball game, ahh May). I love this one of your son's friend--it's beautiful. And you've probably gotten this recently, but I just left you a Kreative Blogger award on my site.
Hi Elizabeth,
It is absolutely a dream come true to
draw Oprah. She is such a wonderful person, and I really admire so much.
Take care,
Barbara
