Think on these: Sketchbook #3

Daily Face: August 14

Super busy day. After I left my  school job  I went to run my Decluttering Business. It's 11:09 pm and I'm drawing pictures. I didn't have an opportunity to do any drawing at work.

The Nest Will Be Empty

Today our baby leaves for college.

Daily Face: August 12th

Today worked seemed as though we didn't have a summer break. It was busy as usual. On top of that I'm so full of emotions. My baby will be officially off to college tomorrow. I didn't think I would feel this sad, but I am embracing the moment. I signed up for classes at the Technical College.

Rain Rain Go Away - Sketchbook #3

In life we only want the beautiful, sun-shiny days. We would rather not have long rainy days. Oh sure we don't mind a few hours of rain, but let it rain for a week. Everyone will start to complain.
This is how we are in life also, a few hardships and we are ready to complain. But if we endure we will see the rainbow. So be in the moment. Let it rain, it will pass.

Studio Calendar

I think I had a very productive day at work. While the students are adjusting to being back in school its the best time for me to get everything organized. In a couple of weeks everyone will be sick and need to go home.

Office Calendar

Laugh in Sketchbook #3

Daily Face: August 9 & 10

August 10th the first day of school in Georgia. It's too hot for school to be in. I went in an hour early just to make sure everything went smoothly and it did.

Sketchbook #3: Enjoying Friendship

There's nothing like enjoying friendship, especially when your friend accepts you as you are.
I've been drawing in my sketchbook I call number three. This is the first picture that I've shared in a while. In a previous post I mentioned completing sketchbooks, I'm still working on this one but Sketchbook #4 is completed, go figure.

Daily Face: August 7 - Two Calendars

So I have officially finished one week of work. I took my calendar back to my school office and I missed seeing it on my studio desk. So I found an old 2006 calendar to keep on my studio desk. If time allows I can draw two portraits or if I don't have time at my school office, I can use my studio calendar to ensure that I don't get behind drawing my daily face. The 2006 calendar will only have incoming 6th graders.

Daily Face: August 6

It's amazing how many illustrations you have if you draw one each day. I look at all of my daily faces and say "wow" I did all of those. If I could just do a painting a day like that. Which I have not painted anything in a long while. I've been thinking about moving my studio space to one of our empty bedrooms. Maybe if I had more space again I would be inspired. I wonder why it makes you feel guilty to take one of your children's bedroom and turn it into your own personal space. They have moved out, you still have an extra bedroom that will be empty, and if you need an extra bed you have a sofa sleeper in the family room. Go figure! I guess I'll get over it.

Daily face: August 5 & Houseplants

Today is our school registration day.
You know as much as I love gardening I have only 3 real houseplants. They are orchids, all of my other plants are artificial. I do like to put dried flowers in vases, cups, and bowls.

Daily Face: Aug 4 Happy Birthday to Me!

Today is my birthday! I wanted to make sure that I had the best day ever even if it meant being in an In-Service meeting for a couple of hours, then setting up for school registration and waiting in a long line to get my car tags. So I decided to be a child again, I wore a birthday hat all day. Some people looked at me as though I was crazy, others got it and wished me a Happy Birthday!
