Cheryl Paton

Welcome to my lensography on Squidoo. My name is Cheryl Paton. I am a wife, mother, and positive artist. My interests include love of animals, art, good food, and making the world a better place.

My art business is called Creative Brushstrokes, LLC. I founded it in 2006, and it has been growing ever since. People purchase my creative designs online at www.zazzle.com/CherylsArt*/, on stamps, postcards, magnets, aprons, ties, t-shirts, and more.

During the last quarter of 2008, I became a Giant Squid, which means that I've created at least 50 lenses of quality; at last count I've created 300 and counting.

Six purple star winners:

Squidoo gives purple stars to lenses of exceptional quality. These are my purple star winners.

I like creating designs for Weddings

I like creating designs, and weddings are a fun event to create for. People are coming together because of love and choice of making new beginnings. I like being a part of that.
Loading

I like to encourage young artists

Art is an important part of our culture and our lives. It's important to encourage children that like art to create art. Sometimes they want just enough of a design to get them started to add their own creativity to.
Loading

I enjoy eating nourishing foods that are beneficial to me and to our planet.

I like vegetables, fruits, pasta, and chocolate...
Loading

I believe in and use affirmations.

I have been using affirmations for years now, and they have helped me in numerous ways and numerous times.
Loading

I like having pets...

especially cats.

I got my first cat when I was two years old, and have loved cats ever since. I also like making things; check out the Cat Climbing Toy.

Having moved with some of our cats several times, I know it's important to find Pet Friendly places; check out Pet Friendly.
Loading

I like exercising and being comfortable when I do.

I like variety, it helps to keep staying fit interesting and fun.
Loading

I like reading.

I like promoting ways to make reading fun.

I was a literacy volunteer for 8 years and a prviate literacy tutor for 5 plus years, for adults. It's best to encourage reading when people are young. Although I certainly believe that anyone can learn anything at any age.
Loading

I like natural health

and have improved my own eyesight, naturally.

Loading

I like things that are comfortable.

I wore tight shoes just to have the right pair to go with my wedding dress. I wore high platform shoes just to look taller and more fashionable. Now I say comfort is in and the way to go. When I am more comfortable, then I'm better to be with.
Loading

I am also for environmentally friendly, pleace, fun, and feel good entertainment.

I find that the more good I choose to focus on, the more good there is. I choose to create more good for myself and others.

I received an invitation to become a RocketMom

RocketMoms on Squidoo is a program in which each week we're giving an assignment to complete a lens, and it goes for eight weeks.

These are some of the lenses that I've built for RocketMoms:
