I spent most of yesterday at my son's house. While his Dad (aka the Hubster) helped him mount kitchen cabinets and install an under cabinet microwave, I played with the baby - changed her, talked to her, let her sleep on my chest, changed her, fed her, changed her, talked to her........I was in heaven.
I started my day with an hour on the treadmill and about 20 minutes of weight training and am now eating my breakfast. I need some coffee and then will get in the shower. I am going over to my friend Nancy's house and she and I are going out to lunch somewhere. She has a new grandchild also, but he lives in Nashville. She will be going to meet him and visit with his big brother some time later this week.
I am working on the giveaway book for my 50,000 visitor celebration and hope to pick up a tool I need today in order that I may have it to show to you tomorrow. I will let you know how you can have a chance to win at that time.
I'd better get around and get this day started.....

I just came from watching the "eagle cam" and your drawing looks just like the male when he's all fluffed up in the wind, even down to his black "eye liner". Wonderful!
ReplyDeleteVicki, I love how the white stands out on the dark paper. Very effective and eyecatching!
ReplyDeleteI like this guy...he has a regal presence about him!
ReplyDeleteYour eagle looks great, coloured pencils feel like pastel on darker colours.
ReplyDeleteYou did a super job with this eagle! He looks really good on that paper, and I'm so impressed that you didn't do a sketch first. Well done! hugs, nancy
