Inspiration and The New Year...

One of the things I am reeaaaaaallllly looking forward to is the new year. New beginnings. Well, the other day I thought it would be neat to make a list of things I wanted to do before the year is over and I'm surprised at by how many I have already done. Quite exciting! This makes the last bit of 2008 oh so better. So here with you I share my list and what I have accomplished.
Things I want to do before the year is over….

Hello! Let me start by introducing myself...my name is Mayra, but some call me Ally (short for my middle name). This is a project that I am very excited to start. It is indeed another blog of inspiration and a concoction of all sorts, but it's mine and that's what makes it the best thing ever. I am creating this to explore another medium of introducing my art and the world that revolves it. I dabble here and there in many different kinds of arts, but anyone who knows me knows that my passion lies in animation.
After a few years of experimenting, I decided to finally place my focus on children related themes. It's so much fun, and who doesn't love being a kid? I am still a student and I'm ready to head into my final semester of community college. I would love to continue pursing my education, but after this I will be taking a break so that I can devote myself to creating anything and everything. Now I don't pride myself on being a writer, but I do love to tell a good story. So here we go and welcome to my story...
