I hope I don't ruin this with pen, but I bet I will.

So so beautiful!
I like the title. I was never a 4H kid, but a lot of people in my hometown were. I saw the symbol everywhere, but never had any idea what they did or what they were all about. 4H scared and intrigued me in that way. I guess I always thought of it as some mysterious cult.
What were the 4 H's for anyway? Hands, heart, head, and... horses? That last one can't be right. But, the 4H girls were always horse girls.
I was totally never a 4H girl either. I think my hometown was too small/poor to sustain a 4H club. What did they do anyway? I think they milked cows and stuff. Is that right? It's a mystery to me, too, and always seemed like something no real people did, only characters on American television shows that were filmed in Canada.
In this case, 4H refers to the number pencil I used to draw this "girl." Okay. It's totally me, but it's not supposed to be. I thought that, because I wasn't showing the face, I could draw my body/hair and it would look anonymous. Clearly not fooling anybody.
I'm no sadder than normal. (SO SAD!) I hope you aren't very sad either.
Pathologically sensitive, advocate of magic, tiny hair. I like to draw, sew, write and large-scale mod podge. I live with my cat, Cabbage Cabbage. Chances are, I have her fur on my clothes and a date pit in my pocket.

P.S. I just looked up 4H on Wikipedia. They stand for: head, heart, hands, and health. Their motto is: "To make the best better."
Gross.
