My time has come...

I have been to China, and in my two trips there I have been in Hong Kong, Guangzhou, Nanchang (which has one of the world's tallest working ferris wheels), and a few other cities.

I have also been to Mexico, and I'm close enough that I could easily take a one day trip down there just by driving. The last time I actually went into Mexico though, I was very young, so I do not remember it.

As far as cities in the US, I have been to Detroit, Denver, and Branson. I'm probably forgetting quite a few, but those are the first places that came to mind.

Out of all of those, my favorite is either Hong Kong or Nanchang. I visited both of them for the first time in 5th grade. Nanchang is where my younger sister is adopted from, and as I mentioned above, it's also home to a very large Ferris wheel. I didn't have a phone at that time, so I have no pictures of my own to share, but here is the Star of Nanchang:

It's 525ft (160m) tall, and takes about 30 minutes to go around once. It was fun to ride

My favorite place to stay at is my grandma's house in Michigan. I looooooooooooove Michigan, and I think her house is very nice. While I'm there, I sometimes also visit my aunt. She has a beautiful view from her backyard. There's even swans

Thanks for the heads up Moopies! whew!! <3 From the title I was like waaa? lol annnnd..
What a fun way to celebrate your time on emc and your birthday!!

We all know you dabble in art .. hehehe .. and lucky for us we get to benefit from that too! =D Okay then, here's my questions.. When did you begin your path into the world of art, what medium did you start with, and which is your favorite? Where do you find you get the most inspiration for your different creations? We know you are a proficient writer and can relay your ideas quite well in that way but I wonder if you also find art a way to express yourself or is it more of a fun thing to do?

okies.. I'm done with the interrogation. also please do not add me to the prize pool and thank you for letting us get to know you better. <3

Yay, crystal! <3 (EMC mother )

I have always been interested in art. When I was younger I would draw with pencils, crayons, and markers, but I also drew on a magnetic board thing. The one I used was similar to this:

The board is what my first recognisable drawing was made on.

My favorite medium currently is a pencil and paper, although I also enjoy digital art (my hand doesn't smudge it accidentally!).

I would say that I get the most inspiration from my friends and family. There's always fun stuff to draw with them around Earlier today my mom asked me to draw my cat with a hulk face ..

Art is one way to express myself, but writing is my main way of saying what I think and feel. I'd rather write to communicate instead of talking. However, I made a friend in 3rd grade by drawing a little card and giving it to a girl. Generally if I randomly draw something for someone, it's my attempt at a friendly "hello" and a way to say I care.

Saaaaaazzzzziiiieeeee!
Hmmmmmm.... Pie is pretty gooooood. I had an excellent chocolate cream pie recently, but my favorite kind of pie is apple. Mmmmm

I do like bagels, especially cinnamon raisin bagels with strawberry cream cheese

And yes, I also like waffles =P

Hahahaha, very many times.

I think this is my theme song now... https://youtu.be/eDU0CTDMk2g

You know there's no way I'd not have to pop in and comment on my fav Moopies thread and ask some need to know questions. <3 #WaffleOn! =]
