Cranial Hiccups

Every once in a while and totally unintentionally my brain spews out a good idea.

The Sketchbook

January 24, 2014 by Montserrat {Cranial Hiccups} 5 Comments

I have this Sketchbook that’s been on my desk for a while. It contains the magical ability of creating a masterpiece of whatever graces it pages. All the children have taken turns to draw in it. There’s just something about a nice thick paper that holds a pencil line well. It’s mesmerizing really.

Whoever happens to have the book just opens it to a blank page. It doesn’t matter if its at the beginning, end, or middle of the book.

I love to pick it up and flip through it to see what new wonders are waiting for me.

Me thinks there will be nice sketchbooks in Easter baskets this spring and maybe some new pencils and oil pastels too.

    Priceless. I wish I had thought of having a sketch book around when the kidlets were younger.

    I am pretty sure my oldest wouldn’t touch it, but the other three certainly would. What a great idea. As for Easter Baskets, my kids have “HINTED” strongly that a good Bunny would gift each child a box of really junky cereal – the kind their heartless mother will never ever buy. Ha!

    Those are wonderful! What a delightful idea. The Jane Austen sketches are outstanding — which of your children did those?

      Brownie, the 15 year old, did the Jane Austen sketches. She is almost always doodling or sketching something. Even in the sidebars of her school notebooks!

    I love this idea! You are an inspiration to me in many different ways and I hope that I can meet you someday and thank you personally for helping me see the small, good things in life.
