30 MIN SKETCH

again...I have reached the end of the day, with only 21 minutes to go...and just finishing my shoes for Thursday's Art for Haiti...

THESE have to be one of the MOST comfortable pair of shoes...ALL leather "Hobbs" shoes...probably 24 years old...don't you just LOVE the fact that our feet stay the same size??!!

they look awesome with a smart pait of trousers and a great pair of jeans...I need to re-sole them this Spring.

Look at the leather...I miss them ALL Winter long!

Do you have shoes you miss when you have to migrate ionto another Season?

Talking about Winter...I think we're finally getting it...-24 this evening and flurries...I didn't think it could snow when it was SO cold?

Went out to shovel this evening and cursed A LOT...it's o.k. nobody could hear me...I mean WHO in their right mind goes out when it's THAT cold!

I'm paying over due Library fees tomorrow as I was stuck in the house again today with the girls...we had fun...played Pirates, found treasure...taught them about 3Dimentional Shapes...made a few out of card...watched Charlie and the Chocolate Factory for the millionth time...I think it's the chocolate they love so much....and...and...and...

SO tired again...I have missed 3 days at the gym this week...I could have gone in the evenings but have been catching up on work I usually get done during the day.

Looking forward to tomorrow...I have a good feeling.

SMILES...and SLEEPS...

Bon nuit.

ThankFULL Thursdays...

good morning...or afternoon...or evening to you! Don't you just love how we're all living in our own moment...no matter if you're in Austrailia, Malaysia,Japan,US,Europe...or here in Canada...out west they're still ALL fast asleep...in the UK it's mid-day!
I'm THANKfull for:
 My family...my husband who in my main rock...and joker too...we're fortunate to have met...one of those "it was fate" moments. I owe so much of my happiness to him. He's a wonderful positive energy force in my Life...and is SO REAL...thank you Mr.R!

To my girls who keep me striving to give them more for their futures...even though we've had a quiet few days...we've been together couped up and haven't ventured out..I think I've learnt a lot about how I need to go forward. To not be AS tough on them, I think I expect too much...they're only 5 and 3...and they're precious Souls which need nurturing.

Thanks to my Mum...my other rock...(I have a few)...she's probably my biggest fan when it comes to creativity...and I am hers. I love her dearly and miss her...UK is far...it's always wonderful to chat on the phone though....thank you for the call yesterday.

Thanks to my Dad...another of my rocks...I should have listened...about the being "more commercial" with my ARt...he's a business man, I am a starving artist...(and always will be...sorry Dad) ...he's given us everything...lots of tough love and lots of effection. I miss him too...

My Big Sis...and my little Bro...they're always there for me...knowing this fills my heart.

To my dear friends...whom I cherish...who make my Life fuller.(more full?- speaking many languages has definitely screwed messed my head when it comes to grammer-sorry)

To ALL of you...who I am pleasantly surprised every day by your heartfelt comments...you make a difference...you inspire...you help ignite that flame inside which can spark new ideas and should create everyday...

What are your THURSDAY thankFULLS?

I'll be back later with my Shoe sketch...I enjoyed the 30 minute sketch I did late last night...now this is how I should apply a workout every morning give myself 30minutes(doesn't seem so bad then)...can you imagine if you measured everything in the day by 30 minutes...I would have...35 half hours in a day...THAT's SO much time...I would get SO much done!!!!
Something to ponder...

Go Char Go!!!! Love that...thank you!!!
Hasta Luego.
