New Puppy Welcome

A friend of mine brought home a new puppy.  So whenever a new bundle of joy comes home, we celebrate by giving gifts.

I needed a gift bag but the only fancy ones I could find were for Christmas. I managed to locate a plain white bag among the others and had a good time illustrating it. 

I drew on both sides of the bag.  My marker, as shown in the below pic, was wearing out.  I found a new one and quickly went over the side with the doggy on it that read "Dogs are earth's angels".  You know this if you have one... 

We adopt them. They rescue us. "Our hearts are forever connected you see, I adopted you but you rescued me." I wholeheartedly believe this to be true and wish my friend and her family many years of happiness and protection with her beautiful loving angel.  xoxo

Friday Flowers--Pile High Club

There is something magical about Flair Felt Tip Pens I have always loved since discovering them as a child. I don’t remember what it was but I know I have a real fondness for them. The grip is perfect for my hand, the tips flow smoothly when doodling and they do not have a knock-your-socks-off odor.

I’m a cheap date when it comes to making me happy (though there are times hubby might disagree). I like small, simple stuff--a package of Flair Felt Tip Pen/Markers fits the bill. In fact, when I received my last Staples Reward Certificate, guess what I purchased? For some strange reason, I cannot have too many Flairs, especially with all the nifty colors.

I have been nursing a migraine this week and unable to produce any art. I located my comic strip entitled “Friday Flowers” created with a marker back in 2003.

We were all sick the week I drew this one, especially Lucy. She was having difficulty getting adjusted to a new brand of dog food. Come to find out later she was allergic to corn/grains which would lead me down a road to feeding her human food--will save that for another blog post though.

The caption to my Friday Flowers comic strip above reads:

You’ve heard of the Mile High Club? Well, mama always calls our household the “Pile High” Club!
