This is what the WordPress prompt is telling us to do today: Toot your own horn -Most of us are excellent at being self-deprecating, and are not so good at the opposite. Tell us your favorite thing about yourself.
♥ ♥ ♥
Please excuse me while I blow my own horn, with permission from WordPress! 
I’d love to have all these wonderful degrees and such like to brag about, but I’m afraid I have not. If I think about it I reckon I have the ability to inspire creativity in others.
My children are an example of that, not that I am taking credit for any of their work but I like to think that I laid down the foundation. Each of my children were crawling around my studio since they were in nappies so basically they have the know how to be creative and are very good at it…I quickly dashed into my eldest daughters little flatlet and took a picture of what she’s playing around with now. It is obviously not finished….
*hugs*
GREAT!!!!!!
Thanks Newsy

Thanks seeker. Toot-tooting is very difficult for me

Even unfinished, it’s better tha anything I could draw.
Go you for inspiring them!
Thank you El Guapo

I don’t see how you could have inspired such creativity unless you have set a very high standard of example!
Thank you for saying that, Col.
*hugs*
Those eyes are amazing! Being able to inspire the people around you is definitely something worthy of tooting your own horn about. Great job!
I love the eyes too. Thank you so much dj

Wow! She’s very talented:) Kudos to you mom. Of course you can claim a role. Many talents lie dormant for lack of exposure, encouragement, or opportunity. Hitler wanted to be an artist but his father disagreed and they struggled bitterly over it. Oh how history may have differed with parental love and support.
That is so interesting about Hitler. I agree with you, talents do lie doormant often and sometimes people really surprise themselves when they do open that creative door and see what they actually can do
Thank you Neon.
*hugs to you*
