Seven Days of Sketching

In December I participated in a Swap-Bot swap called "Seven Days of Sketching". You were supposed to draw something different for seven days and mail it to a partner. Here's what I came up with:

A Day Early - I'm Thankful For:

• The Winter weather clearing up before my early morning flight to Texas tomorrow. :)
• The few flakes of snow I saw on Wednesday.
• Having insurance and being able to take my sick kiddo to the dr.
• Having a part time job that's flexible so I can travel and also stay home with the kiddo when I need to.
• Having some extra $$ to have fun this weekend!

I'm thankful for:

• Being busy at work this afternoon.
• Ordering new art supplies.
• Taking part in a local watercolor workshop.
• Foggy mornings and pretty afternoons.
• Netflix.

Inspirations and Links, Oh My!

My newest little project Friday Gratitude is inspired by some of the many blogs I read: Robyn's Gratitude2008, Penelope Illustration's My Sacred Life posts, and Sacred Life Sunday. I like having projects to work on and since I always work on Fridays and it's usually slow I can easily make a quick update and reflect on at least five things I'm grateful for. It'll help keep me humble and my life in perspective.

Cheers to a new year, a new little project, and many great things to come!

New Project

Every Friday I'll post five things I'm thankful for.
Today I'm thankful for:

• Having a part-time job that's fun and easy.
• Having a little extra money to travel.
• My recent roadtrip to Tennessee was safe and and enjoyable.
• My little girl being excited about going back to school.
• Time to myself.
