I’ve Been Drawn!

The highlight of my weekend was not seeing that wee, tiny gorilla babe riding on his mama’s back at the zoo, nope, it was discovering that Heather drew me as a wistfully dancing cartoon.  Behold!

‘Tis awesome!  And, she nominated me for a bloggy award, too.  Sweet gumdrops!  Why would she draw you in a giant skirt covered in glasses, you ask.  Because I actually wore it–she’s good like that.

Have you been to Heather’s blog, Creative Devolution?  It is hilarious.  My children foam at the mouth in excitement when there is a new post.  They love her drawings because they are so funny.  I love her drawings, too, not only because they are so funny but because she can convey big ideas in the simplest of lines.  Like the slant of an eyebrow or the switch from googly eyes to pin points to starry eyes.  That’s talent on an ipad.  Thank you, Heather!

And, now in the spirit of celebrating favorite blogs, in addition to Heather’s, here are two of mine:

Sarah at High StylingSarah has such a refined and sophisticate eye (I’m hoping that rubs off on me), and the gorgeous photos from her travels feed my wanderlust when I’m rooted at home for the moment.

Erin at On Call.  Have you ever wondered what it is like to be a hospice chaplain and greet death day after day?  It’s cheerier than you think.  Erin documents the joys of lives well lived, intricacies of personal life stories, the poignancy of life-long romances, and the peaceful acceptance of life at the end.  I learn so much from her way of seeing–and, I’m lucky enough to count her as a real-life friend.

If you were a devoted Little House on the Prairie fan when you were little, read Prairie Wishes.

She describes how she chaplains the dying day after day in Our Greatest Gift.

I’m patiently waiting for her to write a book.

And, thank you to other favorite bloggers for mentioning TPH!
