Craziness...

Almost Christmas.. so crazy. It doesn't feel like Christmas at all, but I am on track now. Finished my shopping today with my friend, Chantel. Just have to wrap and get them tucked away under the tree. 


Still trying to do some baking. Need to start some as soon as I am done posting this as I am heading to visit some friends and I want to take some for a Chrissy-mas present, but I didn't realize how long it had been since I had posted until my friend, Mandy, texted me today... a lot. ;)


So my 4th month of drawing is going to be.... quotes.
I read quotes on a daily basis on my Twitter feed and on my Facebook, so I am going to take some of the ones I like and post them here with some doodles around them. 


Most of my quotes are from @AffirmYourLife and @Inspire_Us on Twitter. And Oprah's Facebook page. And Soul Pancake, which if you have never checked out... you should... just saying. 


Day 93:

Nothing really to say about most of them. The quotes are what they are and I tried to draw something associated with it. 
 Day 94:


Love, love, love this quote... (multiplied by forever)
 Day 95:
 Day 96:


I think people think I am weird and I think I am weird... but that is ok.
 Day 97:




 Day 98:


I little sloppy, but was trying to get a lot done yesterday while working both jobs, when I thought I only worked one. Haha go me.
Day 99:








And just after celebrating 3 months of drawing..


tomorrow will be 100 days! Holy moley!


Well, I, for sure this time, only work one job tomorrow. So in between wrapping presents, baking, cleaning and going out to check the mail, I will draw an extra special quote.

Whoa!

Everyday for 3 months!! Crazy. So crazy. I am proud of myself but astonished at the same time. I have drawn something everyday for a quarter of a year.

Now I have to think of a new theme... by tomorrow. (grumble)

 Day 90: 


A morning glory. I feel as if I am in the morning of the rest of my life. Starting slightly new, kind of fresh. So much ahead of me. 
 Day 91:


A poppy. Drew this mainly as I was Christmas shopping and my mom loves poppies. So they stuck out in all the stores. 


I have always been quite exceptional at remembering what people like and then it just seems to pop out everywhere I shop. I pride myself in that. 
Day 92:

Don't really know what I was trying to make of this one. Distracted by tea and a movie. And trying to think of a new subject for the next 30 days. 


Hmmm....


(ponder ponder)

Doodles..


So lately, my flowers have just been doodles after my day's at work. No real meaning, just doodles. I didn't really want to do anything after work, but I, at least, drew. 


 Day 86:
 Day 87:
 Day 88:
Day 89:


















Holey Moley! I am coming up to 3 months. And so close to 100 days of drawing. I should start thinking of a new theme for the next month.




Hmm... (ponder ponder)

Broken...

These days were rough. I felt broken and saddened and tired. First full week of work in a year and it was every day. Crazy.


Finally had enough of being walked on by some people so I voiced my pain and one person didn't take it well apparently.


‎"Be who you are and say how you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind"
Dr. Seuss



She minded....

Anyways,

Day 82:


A broken flower for a broken girl. 

Day 83:


A little sad flower for losing a friend. 5 years, but I do not need a friend who treats me the way she has or angers when you voice your concerns.

Day 84:


A new beginning, new growth and new blooms. 

Day 85:

Attempting to draw a rose. A flower of beauty and love. Eventually my roses will actually look like roses and not just blobs of scribbles. :)

Back at 'er..

Life has been a tad bit crazy. I have been working every single day for the past two weeks, and I don't have a day off until Christmas Day. 
I lost a friend, not in death but still sad, last week. I have learned many lessons lately and one of them, is art is what I love and I need to do it even when life gets me down. 


Day 79: 

I googled a flower of freedom and a lily came off so I drew it. It was my last day of somewhat freedom, before I started my second job. 
 Day 80:


So I started my second job this day. So I drew a dying flower. I go from one job to the next with half an hour between. It's crazy but it's good.
Day 81:


A flower of technology. My second job consists of working with computer techs and on computers.

Sorry

My drawings has been kind of fallen by the way-side. So sorry, trying to get back at it. 
Getting back into the work force with 2 jobs and saddening life matter has put some delays. 


See you as soon as possible.
