Guess where I was yesterday? Obviously not working on my sketchbook.






Thank you Jesse for getting me into the park(s)!

sunday

I said I was going to post what I do for the sketchbook each day - helping me to get something done, all I had time for today was this.
These are drawings I did while in truck school to help me remember parts. I scanned and shrunk them to fit in the sketchbook. I am struggling with how much to put in and if I should write about it or just have sketches. I almost feel like I have to explain things kind of like a journal of the experience I guess. Something I should have done while on the road and I did a little but not enough.
These aren't much but they are something and that's better than nothing.

Not making any goals for the New Year 'till my goal of finishing the sketchbook is done!

one of my "to do" things done

I couldn't even see the floor in the closet.

I have come to the conclusion we have tooooooooooo much stuff and getting rid of some of it is a goal for the year!

ta da..I have a floor!


Mr. Bigglesworth is starting to get used to us.

Happy New Year and finally finished, Yay!!

Hope everyone has a Happy New Year!
and Yay! I finally finished the cover of my sketchbook! Really I should be saying I finished the book. Can I get it done on time? I am going to post something I do everyday till it's done. We shall see.

Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday

Jesse leaving Monday with her new - old - car. She called and said it didn't start this morning uh oh. thankfully just the battery

Went to Disney village with Jesse and Chris and Chuck's truck was there.

Had fish and chips and Chris had bangers which I didn't know was sausage.

finally got to see Tricia again and go to the infamous Blue Bird Bakery, and yum!

then home and was going to make fries but they turned into potatoe chips. I wish I'd taken a picture of the coconut flan I made last night because I never made flan before and it actually turned out (and I wonder why I've gained weight).

Happy Day after Christmas

Some pictures from Christmas 2011.










Jesse and Chuck went to a car show and saw dioramas like these. Chuck really liked them so Jesse made one for him. REally fantastic.





After much much much searching, going and looking, driving and seeing really crappy cars - we finally found one we hope will work and run really well for a really long time and get good gas mileage -for Jesse

Dec. 23rd

Umm..soooo...Christmas shopping...today was the first day I've done it. That's really bad for me to wait like this. I have decided I need to plan better.

Friday

The hawk has started posing for me. This is how far away he was.





...and real hot chocolate, milk, semi sweet chocolate, cinnamon stick, touch of vanilla, touch of chili powder, and marshmallows..

Christmas lights

We drove around and looked at Christmas lights last night. It's like Chuck says it's easier to get in the mood for the season when it's cold and you're drinking coffee and looking at pretty lights.








and there are 2 hawks living in the tree behind us
