I have to give myself some time to rest because I actually get sick if I jump into another big project so my body tells me to take things easy. I love the Quartet Cinderella that reminded me of gypsies. It sounded sensual and moody plus traditional. I enjoyed the first one which was different again with the Mexican/Spanish style..I guess Latin is what i am looking for...hahahaa. The last one is OK but it was a bit bothersome when the chimpanzee started hitting just the one note.

For your battle I'm giving my vote to <b>Chicha Libre</b>. I liked the somewhat old-fashion western flavor to this cover. :)<br /><br />Now to answer your questions...<br /><br />Yes, I find it difficult to motivate myself to write. I feel like I don't have anything to offer but when I let go and just allow it to happen then the creativity happens freely.<br /><br />Definitely, I am energized after doing finishing any task that require great effort. I sorta felt that way after A2Zing because I thought I wasn't going to participate and then I did. I surprised myself a little with how easy sketching free-style came to me this time which is an improved from two years ago. I'm anxious to finish up my illustrations with color now.<br /><br />I'm not taking a vacation after the April event but I am taking a couple days off to regroup. Maybe, I'll step away from blogging during the summer for a short recess since traffic is about a snail's pace with everyone gone. :) Have a good day, my friend!<br /><br />Cathy Kennedyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01738079671642137018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-17171172947843860892019-05-01T20:03:53.748-07:002019-05-01T20:03:53.748-07:00Yvonne, thanks--I thought this was a very nice Apr...Yvonne, thanks--I thought this was a very nice April.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-11902461073518370152019-05-01T20:03:08.836-07:002019-05-01T20:03:08.836-07:00Diedre, makes sense that if we have one victory we...Diedre, makes sense that if we have one victory we want to taste more. <br /><br />A vote for <b>Chicha Libre</b>.<br /><br />LeeArlee Birdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11663942782929929334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-61654383081667358962019-05-01T17:10:31.880-07:002019-05-01T17:10:31.880-07:00LOL & 1/2 !!!LOL & 1/2 !!!<br />Michael Toddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03837894257911367660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-73671928065355127282019-05-01T16:06:19.843-07:002019-05-01T16:06:19.843-07:00Congrats on another successful year of A to Z!Congrats on another successful year of A to Z!Yvonne Ventrescahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06935915085584796351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-149224757183756660.post-29861223627478017802019-05-01T15:33:12.997-07:002019-05-01T15:33:12.997-07:00Hi Lee!
