On Parade

I was in my morning walk "zone", lost in thought, when I became aware that I was being watched. Looking up from sand and shells, I saw seagulls, hundreds of them, lining the beach where waves meet the sand, all of them standing looking my direction. It was as if they had tweeted each other … Continue reading On Parade

Man and His Cake

The Man might once have been a Boy... But you can't take the Boy out of the Man. Nor his cake! *drawings made from photos my oldest daughter took on the occasion of my husband's birthday!

A True Actress

Our oldest daughter continues to amaze us!  She blew us away last spring performing in her high school's production of West Side Story the role of Maria. This year, she played the part of a completely different personality...that of Amber von Tussle in the musical, Hairspray.  We enjoyed watching her transform from her usual sweet, … Continue reading A True Actress

Baby Step #10: A Zine of My Own

Oh my goodness, I am just tickled pink to offer this little booklet to you! It's my first "zine" which I'm calling an Art Zine since it's a compilation of my drawings, paintings, and writings, some of which is from my blogs, Drawn2Life and Drawn2Be! and some of which has never been seen on either … Continue reading Baby Step #10: A Zine of My Own

Baby Steps #3-8: Happy Day Birthday Boxes

Birthdays as a kid were always a celebration...as they are and have been in my own family.  Sometimes we refer to our Birthday Month since the celebrating often gets sprinkled throughout the person's birth-month.  My idea for these Birthday Boxes was to offer something to be sent to loved ones in the mail...a celebration in … Continue reading Baby Steps #3-8: Happy Day Birthday Boxes

Un Grand Merci!

At the end of 2011 I was delighted to receive from WordPress, the year-end review of statistics and what-not about this blog, Drawn2Life.  When I clicked on the link they sent, there were fireworks and all kinds of delightful and amazing stats that I had no idea this little blog had garnered. If you'd like … Continue reading Un Grand Merci!
