InkTober 2019 – Day 5: “Build”


I feel like I am cheating tonight, because I don’t have much time to draw. But I love this message.

Seeing the love that went – and still goes – into building an extended family reminded me of all the little things we don’t see and appreciate of other people’s gifts, work, and sacrifices on a regular basis.

No one is perfect. But look closer and thank others for the little things they contribute that don’t often get noticed…

InkTober 2019 – Day 4: “Freeze”

Boy, I am late on tonight’s drawing.

Too much to do.

Then, ironically, my brain froze. What I planned would take too long.

Ended up taking long anyway, especially due to drying markers. Never second guess!! Lol

InkTober 2019 – Day 3: “Bait”

I knew what to draw the moment I saw this word – once bitten, twice shy!

I promise I am telling the truth: I was truly only going to Puppyland to meet my niece and pet the puppies with my dad. It was my hubby who got soft!! Lol

InkTober 2019 – Day 2: Mindless

Love it! I knew what I was going to draw the moment I saw the word. But I was so excited that I didn’t see how my faithful and most favorite marker was drying out until I started to use it… sorry…

Hope you like it anyway! 🙂

InkTober 2017 – Day 30: Found

I read that you can revive dried out markers with water or alcohol.  I tried it with one and it worked! But it was the water based marker and I used alcohol in it…. Eek!!! Did I ruin it??? I hope not…. It seems ok…???

I have so many dried out markers that I could not bear to part with because the color (or tip or barrel) was so unusual. Now I’m going to have to try if water or alcohol in the right ones can revive them. Hope it works!!!

Then the colors can soar again!!!!

InkTober 2017 – Day 28: Fall

Yes.  This really happened.  To me.

But in my defense, my friend is a linguistic genius and I would regularly see her sitting at her desk *actually* studying the dictionary! Then she’d share her amazing discoveries with me. Made sense that if anyone would know, it would be her.  I’d have been a fool to doubt her!!

Yep.  That’s my defense.  😉

InkTober – Day 27: Climb

I heard they don’t offer the old style monkey bars anymore.  I am very sad that any child got hurt on them. But the experience of making it to the top – even if you don’t have the balance to stand up there – is exhilarating.  I’m sorry modern kids will miss that.

Then again, they have parkour, right?!?  😉
