Practical Wishes
Looking through a wonderful preschool teacher’s blog, Preschool Daze, and I was struck by how similar her students’ hopes and dreams for 2010 felt to mine. I remember wishing for very comprehensive wishes like this: if I wanted to be that beautiful girl five years older than me, then I wanted to have her hair color, and her glasses, her braces; the whole deal.
My own wish, right after this…
This one is something that I still want! Luckily I married a wonderful artist, so now I can just describe to him what I would like drawn, but before that it was torture to see something in my mind and then to put it down on paper so terribly. In a moment inspired by the fact that I’m trying to learn Adobe Illustrator, I decided to make one of my own.
I found Kristen’s blog via my friend Sarah’s blog, who is also a teacher.

Oh my – i love Kristen’s blog so much. The whole aesthetic of her classroom is amazing, and it makes me wish I was a four year old just so I could attend her amazing little place. I found that new year’s resolutions inspiring, too.
By the way, your Illustrator experience seems to be going much better than mine. I always give up and switch back to my iPhoto or Flickr editor. Lame, eh??

Well I do have Joe, who has spent roughly the last four years on Illustrator, on my side. Don’t give up! I’ve found it’s a lot easier than it pretends to be.
