The Daily Scribble #9

My challenge was to see if my very good friend Christopher could make this scribble look like our very good friend Sean (Samma) better than I could-here is his genius Scribble.
Christopher's ode to Samma


Mine will be posted today. I think Chris24 might win. (Nail biting has begun).

Daily Scribble #9

The Challenge
Mr. Christopher Inserra has challenged me to a 'Scribble' off! Well, actually he just said he could make any scribble look like our friend Sean (aka Samma). I believe I can do it better.
However, Sean has been Christopher's muse for many years now, so I might choke on my words. No matter, the game is afoot!
LET'S DOODLE THIS!

Need a Scribble!

Calling all artists and non-artists (no such thing), I need your doodles, scribbles, accidents with a pen to keep the Daily Scribble going. If you have a scanner or a mailman, we can make this happen. Let's doodle this!

Book-In-A-Week-Reached my goal!

Created a story about Mr Rumples and his ladylove Gemima. I think I really got something here! Next B-I-A-W challenge is in two weeks and I'm going to finish it then and hand it over to my writing group to see what they make of it.
Truly amazing how giving a story some time and focus, without judgment, creates a nice, cozy place for the characters in your head to come forth and tell their story. I highly recommend it and will do this again and again. Soon I will post the story for you to read, but it's still at the 'closed door stage.' A little more tweaking and I will be brave enough to share.

The Daily Scribble #7 The Good Tooth Escapes...

Here we go folks! The Good Tooth Escapes Tooth Decay! Clever tooth, he got away from the ultimate sirens of the molar: The Purple gooey gumdrop, the sweet sunshine sour, the rainbow raindrop and of course, the simple but sinister, chocolate kiss!
What a good tooth!

The Daily Scribble numero 7

Let's doodle this!!
Thanks Loey for the Doodle

Book-In-A-Week is a rockin!

This is fantastic! No judgment, just my butt in the chair and writing it out! Finished three pages of my new story and discovered a whole new storyline that just popped into the ol' noodle while writing. First time in a long while I felt this inspired to write. Oh joy of joys, what a feeling!

Add a key wrapped in a note telling Mr. Rumples to 'Find Me'!

















  Needless to say, Mr. Rumples had a very interesting day.
 To be continue ...

This is the very beginning of a story...let's see what happens.
I'm very curious.

Book-In-A-Week

Not sure if you all remember, but I vowed to join a club that pushed me to write-- I am a demon of gettin' things done when I'm under the gun!
Well, I did it.
It's a group called Book-In-A-Week and they have a vast community of people that support the cause of busting it out, no excuses. My time starts on the 4th of April where I will set my goal and report my progress to my fellow BIWers. Neat huh?
So another dream begins...how cool is that?
Keep you posted!
And the adventure begins...

Night and Day

Soon to be on Etsy...Night and Day.
Night
Day                                        
I Like the Brady Bunch aspect of these two, but am a little distracted

by the drippies on Night. Looked nice live, but seeing it printed hmmm? What do you think?

Chaelen Designs: The Truth About Snow White: "This is the first of a series of fairy tales, fancifully retold and illustrated with some of the best things I've found on Etsy recently. Ea..."


This is a fellow 'Etsyan' who wanted to use my illustration 'The Grotto' for her story on her blog. Needless to say, I was very honored and appreciative. The story is lovely and the items she has found on Etsy illustrate her story beautifully! Thanks again Chaelen

Weigh In--Booyah!

Alright! Down 2.2lbs means I got the little star sticker with a '5' emblazoned on it! Five pounds gone from the gut! It also means I have cut out 17,500 calories out of my diet. Incredible. I don't feel deprived? Well, that is a small lie. Sometimes I feel quite deprived and annoyed through this journey. The pity parties are also pretty epic-- I think I will make hats for the next one.
But I'm happy and a little proud.

Daily Scribble #5-See the Drama!

Daily Scribble #5 is finally finished%
The outcome possibly inspired by the drama of the cough that I am sporting right now. It sounds like I will die soon, and in a Nyquil induced dream I just had, I am living in 'Little House on the Prairie' times, and Doc Baker has the only medicine that will cure me but he is stuck in Mankado(sp) delivering triplets that are all breach. Like I said, Drama.
Before
Enjoy!

A wee bit sick

The last daily scribble will be delayed until I get over the muck that is coursing through the ol' bod.
Happy it's a Sunday and gray outside-somehow that gives my mind permission to turn into a slug and get well. See you tomorrow:) and please avoid the muck if you can.
