Dear Friends,
“…Faith is believing when commonsense tells you not to…”
Thank you. May you dream of flying on a reindeer…
Reindeer Hug inspired yesterday morning while watching, Miracle on 34th Street. The art turned out a bit differently than originally imagined. I was going to make the elf younger and chubby-cheeked, give her wavy curls and wrap her arms around Rudolph’s muzzle. I decided or rather my pencil did to go a different way. My pencil desired a more bizarre face. It said “let the Christmas hat’s white trim ‘act’ as hair and let Rudolph’s head have a clearer presence.” So pencil and hand skipped down a different candy cane path. Hope this was okay, I was only allowed one vote…

Aha! You ARE watching Christmas/holiday movies already! I missed Charlie Brown the other night (darn), but I have it on DVD. So, Miss AMRK, I really do like this elf and reindeer, and I like the fact that the elf is older (why should kids get all the fun of hanging with reindeer?). I know what you mean about the pencil having a mind of its own; I see a story in my head one way, but my fingers tap it out differently on the keyboard; always seems to be the case. Well, I’m glad you let your pencil and hand lead! Good day to you, Miss!

Hi there, Deb.
Insane day yesterday. The big son’s (Max) wrestling season has begun. It not only includes several meets per week but all day saturday tournaments. Keith and I try to never miss any. I will be missing this saturday’s tournament for annual cookie baking with an old friend who looks forward to visiting with the family.
Thank you for your kind Christmas comments 🙂 too. I wrote a post a long while back about waiting to watch Rudolph on TV. I think kids today miss the entire wonder-of-waiting. ALl my brothers and sisters would sit around the TV and watch the onetime season viewing of the Xmas specials. AH, the good old days. I hope your writing is proceeding forward and you’re accomplishing much. I hope the kitten was found to be in good health and that you’re happy with whatever decision you’re making regrading him/her. No worries 🙂

Hey, the pencil will go where it feels like going and take your hand along with it. Rudolph never looked so happy:)

Ah, thank you. Truth be told, Rudolph looked very much like a cow with a red nose at first – I had to slim, trim and prim him a bit… I have to look at the deer in our backyard more closely next time.

When I first showed it to my husband – he said, “why does that cow have a red nose?” Then I really worried when my daughter asked the same question!
I’m my own worst enemy sometimes. I have to slow down and look…
