Sketches

Do you like to draw/sketch?....I do~ xo

I mostly sketch random things.... whatever is on my mind really. What do YOU like to create????
Tell me! Or better yet... send me an image (via my mom's email here) of a picture you've drawn or sketched (or give me a link in "comments" that leads to the picture) I'd love to see it!


I'm not that good...... still in training...... but here are some pictures I sketched this year:


***********************************


(Dragons: Top = "Arya" ...... Bottom-Left = "Jura"...... Bottom-Right = "Gretiem"))
(Pirates of the Caribbean)


(Dragon Eye)


(Dragon = "Jura")


(Girl and Horse)



*****************************************

And here are some from 1-2 years ago..... I think it was last year but I'm not sure..... :


(Character : "Gullum"- 'Lord of the Rings')


(Character: "Gimli" - 'Lord of the Rings')


(Character: "Gandalf" - 'Lord of the Rings')


(Character: "Saron" - 'Lord of the Rings')

(Character: "Galadriel" - 'Lord of the Rings')



(I have TONS more 'LOTR' drawings but it would take FOREVER to load them all on here! lol... My goal is to draw each character and creature from the movie. So far I have: Gullum, Galadriel, Lord Elron, Arwen, Legolas, Aowyn, Eomere, King Theoden, Gimli, Aragorn, Boramere, Tree-Beard, Frodo, Sam, Bilbo, Merry, Gandalf, Saromon, Saron, Lord Denezore = (Steward) and a Troll.....

**************************************

And one more Random sketch.....

(Princess and Horse.... it's down there somewhere....)


Got any tips for me? I'd love to hear them! Leave me a comment!

Baptism/First Communions

Being a Catholic involves many things.... including Baptisms and First Holy Communions!

A few days ago some friends of ours, the Lathwell family, had their new baby boy, Anthony Thomas James, Baptized into the Catholic faith!
Also... their other son, 7 year old Zachery, received the Holy Eucharist for the first time ever! WEE!!!!!!

(My 7 year old brother, Joey, also received his first Communion, so we celebrated them all at the same time! xoxoxo


Here are some photos of the Baptism/Communions ~

Totally Me:

Have you ever seen or come across something really weird and think to yourself "That's weird.... but totally me!"

You're not alone!

I have that happen a lot.... most of the time I'll notice something completely pointless or stupid like... the time an elderly... well I'll tell it to you in story form:

"Once upon a time an elderly woman past us on a double line road on the edge of a mountain at around 60 mph... the first thing that hit me was the thought "That woman needs to be more careful, she driving recklessly! If she ever wants to get to her tea-party alive and without a ticket she'd better slow down!!"... but than came another even more ridiculous thought ..."omg... I bet that's something I would do at age 82.... Am I feeling well?" (LOL)

Or the time when:


"Once upon a time I was taking a walk in the woods and I saw my little brother hanging practically upside-down from an enormous pine-tree. My thought :"Get down from there crazy! Your going to break you neck!" But then another thought followed and I said "Hey! Wait for me I'm coming up too!" (LOL)


Here is a list of completely and utterly ridiculous things that, despite my shame and the fact that I'm turning 15 in July, I think I would most likely do (or have already done... which is probably the case with most of them):



1.) Chase a butterfly

2.) Kiss my dog

3.) Swing on a vine

4.) climb a tree

5.) sneak up on a Chipmunk

6.) Role down the car window and balance my hand on the wind current

7.) Stare at an ant hill

8.) Go in the basement or garage in my white socks (even though I acknowledge the fact that When I come back in they will be brown)

9.) Stare at my ceiling and try to find pictures in the wood lines

10.) Jump off a trampoline into a swimming pool

..... the list is endless.


Moral of the story:

Every one does something weird or stupid in a lifetime so don't feel bad if you do.... And if someone says they've not......perhaps they're not telling you "everything",... (if ya know what I mean) lol.
