My Twin

Hello everyone! I’m posting something new and it’s only been a couple of days. Whoa! I think this must be a new record! Haha yay. The following are old pictures that I took way back from this past summer.



^ Haha this one reminds me of those Troll Dolls from the ninties with the crazy hair that stands up. hahaha




I don’t know if you remember when I talked a couple of post ago about my twin Rachael who’s a super talented artist? We’re not related or anything, but we have so much in common it’s freaky! She has red hair, I have red hair, she likes art, I like art, she wears thick framed glasses, I wear thick framed glasses, she has a pair of floral doc-martens that she painted herself, I have a pair of floral doc-martens that I painted myself. The list goes on and on!

We met this past summer at an art camp held by the Fort Wayne Museum of Art. We hit it off right away! About a week after the camp she came over to my house and we did a photo shoot together. It was a lot of fun! Here are some of the pictures from it.

Also, like I said before she’s a super talented artist! I need to brag on her a bit :) She won 3 Gold Keys and a Silver Key in Scholastics this year along with receiving a Gold Key Portfolio!! How awesome is that?!!! :D Here are some of her amazing paintings!
