So... I have thought and thought and thought. What am I? Who am I? What do I love? What defines me? Wwaaay too deep for me. I had to simplify and think: 'what can I use to represent me?' Here are some things I am thinking about...
- Feather duster and vacuum- to represent housewife. I am proud to be a housewife!
- Faucet- because I want to draw it. I am going to have to think of something...
- Pitcher- I have a pitcher very similar to this that was my grandma's. My mom said my grandma would never put a milk carton on the table, so my mom remembers the pitcher filled with milk when it was meal time. (the formalities have lessened down through the generations.)
- Flower- I asked my kids what symbol I could use to represent me and two of them said a flower. I do love flowers, especially wild flowers.
- Venus- not because I am the Goddess of Love (okay, sometimes I am... wink), but because I am so conscious of my body and weight right now.
- Nest and eggs- has to do with my daughter turning 18 and getting ready to head to college and become an adult. She's leaving my nest. *sniff*
- Tree (not pictured here)- I am also using a tree to represent family and how important it is to me.
What symbols would you use to represent you?

wow, tough assignment, but I think you're on the right track! Can't wait to see the final result ;)
I thought the leaky faucet was because, as a mother, it's not hard to get teary-eyed. I used to make fun of my mom cause she seemingly cried at every other little thing, but now I am eating my words!
You know what's funny? I always used to think, when people would ask what animal I would identify myself with I would say a dolphin. But, I've discovered I fall short in all the characteristics of a dolphin. I'm not nearly as smart as they are, not nearly as playful and fun as they are, and not nearly as athletic as they are (although that might be my strongest point.) You just reminded me of this. :)
