The fun thing about Aislyn and the projects she works on is the time and effort she puts into it. Aislyn is so detailed and creative. She knows how she wants something to look and uses her imagination and ingenuity to come up with a solution. She does not race through the task and is quite obsessive until complete. (I wonder where she gets that from).
Aislyn was very excited and pleased about her accomplishments this year. I know that she will do even better next year.
As writers, we need to draw from our experiences and find ways to infuse who we are into the stories we tell. Julia Cameron, the author of the Artist's Way, states: "We must write from love and we must choose those to read us who read from love: the love of words. The love of naming our experience must finally be the guiding force in what we put on the page."

I can't even imagine putting in that many entries... do we get to see some pictures of these great projects??
Wow! Congrats to Aislyn! That is so fun...I would like to see pictures too!
Perhaps Ventura County ought to rename itself: Aislyn County,.... that's the ticket!
Way to go!!
