My Sister's Blog

Can you tell who this is?! :) She sent this to me for my birthday!
I haven't introduced a new blog in a while and this one is super special to me. It's my sister's!! Sometime last summer, Caroline decided to pick up a pencil and start drawing - just like I did a couple of years ago.
Like me, she never did any art before and, wow, isn't she good?!?  She and I both signed up for the Gritty Jane workshop "Portraits and Papers," which I think is just so exciting. While I haven't done anything yet, Caroline has been working her way through some of the exercises and I'm totally impressed!!
And I'm happy that she started her blog "Kunstversuch" (An Experiment in Art), which has been a well-guarded secret until now...
With two energetic young boys and a full-time teaching job, she doesn't have much time to write, but she regularly posts her art, her kids' art and her beautiful photography.
The blog world is amazing, isn't it? It allows us all to be in touch so closely no matter how far apart we live. And when I see Caroline's photos from her backyard and around Germany, I feel like I just visited yesterday...
So, please go visit her blog and say hello! Her English is excellent, so feel free to leave comments for her even if you don't speak German and welcome her to this amazing blogging community... Simply click here and it'll take you to her blog!
