We can merely take up where someone left off. We can take an image, add color, texture, embellishments and make it our own piece of creativity.</div> <bR> <div>      On a personal note: It is the opinion of this author that as parents we are also artist. We may or may not plan for a child but once that child is conceived it is our responsibility as parents to instill into our children love, kindness, caring, rules, morals, fundamentals, and discipline to end up with the very best adult that we can.</div> <bR> <DIV ALIGN="LEFT"></DIV> <div> <I>Barbara Kimberly Thompson Hellams</I> </div> <bR> <bR> <div> Now onto the more important things in life.</div> <div>  <B>E</B><FONT SIZE="4" COLOR="#CC6600" FACE="Arial" >xpressing ourselves in our own unique ways</FONT></div> <bR> <div> <A HREF="mailto:CreativeCornerAr@aol.com" TARGET="_top" TITLE="mailto:CreativeCornerAr@aol.com"><U>CreativeCornerArts</U></A></div> <bR> <bR> <bR> </td> </tr></table></body>
