<div style="text-align: center;">
and I'm posting it here today</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
because it all came back to me </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can't stop it .. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
whenever I'm about to do something worthy </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
it hits me .. again .. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I want to achieve a goal </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I dreamt about it .. planned it .. worked hard for it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I'm very close now to achieve it </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and it hit me again </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so I cried .. and still crying .. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I wish you were here </div>

I am assigned to head few committees .. and still more to come </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and I am too busy to scratch my ears</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

السّلام عليكم </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
& peace be upon you all </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we now have a place to hold our exhibition </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and a suggested date too </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so now at least we can concentrate on our artwork </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can even sleep comfortably now </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I never thought such an attempt where other organizations would take advantage of .. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
is going to be such as fuss </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I know its not that easy </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But I have done more complicated things and arranged for more serious official events thru out my career </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the truth remains .. that arts and local talents will remain unsupported and forgotten </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
oh well .. you could not have dealt with anyone worse than I am </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
so the exhibition is going to be held .. FINALLY .. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and we have a great group of artists who are willing to give all their support </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
what else can we ask for? nothing :) </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
we can move any mountain now </div>

</div><div style="text-align: center;">many things and many more that I may not have thought of .. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But most importantly </div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm seeing flowers everywhere :S </div><div style="text-align: center;">I also remembered how crazy I got when I visited Japan last year </div><div style="text-align: center;">I took many pictures of flowers .. </div><div style="text-align: center;">and was so THRILLED .. to find Hydrangeas </div><div style="text-align: center;">I love Hydrangeas </div><div style="text-align: center;">and here's one I took </div><div style="text-align: center;">and I'm working on making a quilled one </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2__6gRRp78kqo38NLxc4yO7UbFJ2ZLmTsfNg4MrHGDDbCuKKvNzoClBUfqE1cCI-ZV3BZuM9-X3TweAGHZIfe5FNr2_dI0TE9QZ2eoAhixx_r4zOTtalTib01XXsW1-Ee_IFHTmV6sVU/s1600/amnahydrangeajapan.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="417" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2__6gRRp78kqo38NLxc4yO7UbFJ2ZLmTsfNg4MrHGDDbCuKKvNzoClBUfqE1cCI-ZV3BZuM9-X3TweAGHZIfe5FNr2_dI0TE9QZ2eoAhixx_r4zOTtalTib01XXsW1-Ee_IFHTmV6sVU/s640/amnahydrangeajapan.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">its the first day of Ramadhan </div><div style="text-align: center;">and its been 10 years or so </div><div style="text-align: center;">and I still remember my late grandmother </div><div style="text-align: center;">her daily phone calls </div><div style="text-align: center;">scolding me for not eating properly </div><div style="text-align: center;">or reminding me to eat </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">one of the reasons I picked my cell phones number </div><div style="text-align: center;">is that it was easy for her to dial </div><div style="text-align: center;">and haven't changed it since then </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I keep glancing at the phone set or looking at the homes phone </div><div style="text-align: center;">I smile .. thinking that she'll call again </div><div style="text-align: center;">there she is .. she's going to repeat the same thing </div><div style="text-align: center;">and in a second </div><div style="text-align: center;">I remember that she's no longer there </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">I miss her so much </div><div style="text-align: center;">she's the reason .. I am .. what I am </div><div style="text-align: center;">I miss all our old ladies </div><div style="text-align: center;">who used to call me Auntie </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Shaikh Zayed </div><div style="text-align: center;">also passed away in Ramadhan </div><div style="text-align: center;">my life changed with his death </div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted him to be around </div><div style="text-align: center;">I wanted him to witness my strength </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">But everything has a reason</div><div style="text-align: center;">and I will always have them all in my heart </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">May God rest their souls </div><div style="text-align: center;">and bestow his mercy upon us all </div><div style="text-align: center;">and grant us to meet them in heaven </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;">Ameen </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">1) When did you start paper quilling ? and how did you know about it ?</div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I have been an artist just about all my life; I can't remember when I was not doing art even as a small child. I would do Quilling in small amounts here and there to add with my art over the past years but had no idea it was Quilling. For many years I had gotten away from my art due to many reasons and none of the reasons were good reasons. During late 2008 to 20010 and early 2011 I was unemployed during that time I started getting back into my art. I was doing some research on the web and started running across art that was being called Quilling. As I said before I had no idea what it was or how to do it but it looked like what I had been adding to my art. In late 2009 I ran across the NAQG and joined the guild in 2010 I also found the UK Quilling guild and became a member at that time. I am Quilling full time now when I'm not working and the rest is history, I will never stop doing my art ever again something that has been the love of my life </div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

</div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">2) Do you read books about quilling and other crafts? or what sources do you use mostly ? </div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I have many Quilling book but to say that I have sat down and read them all, no I guess you can say I collect more Quilling books than I have read. I have my Quilling books as reference books that I use to stimulate my imagination. Being more of an abstract artist life it's self is my best source it provides me with a much larger source of inspiration. </div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

</div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">3) Describe yourself as an Artist , what other hobbies do you like and practice? what other forms of art do you like? how long have you been crafting in general ? </div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I am more of an abstract artist I don't refer to myself as being a crafter. I truly believe there is a fine line between the craft of Quilling and the art of Quilling I prefer to be classified as a Quilling artist. I can do other art styles but I am better known for my abstract art. In the past I have done watercolor art and charcoal art and have thought about adding the two along with my Quilling. </div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

</div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">4) do you work or study? and does practicing hobbies affect any aspect of your life? </div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">When I started Quilling full time I had been unemployed for quite some time, but now that I am employed full time I have found that the responsibilities around our home have shifted. My husband loves my Quilling so much he has jumped in and takes over responsibilities when I am working on my projects. </div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

</div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">5) do you attend workshops or give workshops ? </div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I do not attend workshops but will teach when asked. I have been asked to collaborate with Lucia Sinning's art class in Spain 2012. Lucia Sinning was the 2011 People's Choice Award winner at the 2011 NAQGCON. I am much honored to have been given this opportunity. I would love to find work teaching Quilling this would be a dream come true. </div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">6) You are one of the recent winners at one of the categories at NAQG Con 2011 please tell us something about the piece you created and how you came about it :) </div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
</div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">When I decided to enter the 2011 NAQGCON Quilling and Beyond competition I had no idea what I would make but I knew I would come up with something. I was sitting at the dinner table with my husband one evening talking over what I should do. My husband had given me several good ideas but I told him it had to be something that had that WOW factor to it. It had to be something that was electrifying. Just as I said it I looked at my husband and said that's it I'm going to add electricity to my Quilling. My husband replied you can't do that you will burn the house down. I told him relax I would not burn the house down and everything would be just fine. I had no Idea how to even start making this lamp but I knew that once I got it started it would all start coming to together. I started with the bottom it was insane making that large of a coil it took me several days just to coil the base. Trust me a large rubber band became my best friend. I would coil paper until I was tired and use the rubber band to hold it together until I returned to it. The large open rectangle ring coils were a little trickier to do. With a little help from some blocks of wood and a few failed attempts the body of the lamp took shape. To make the shad was more time consuming than trouble. </div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />

</div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;">I have been a member of the USA NAQG and the UK Quilling Guild since early 2010. </div><div style="font-size: 11px; line-height: 1.5em; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;"><br />
