Inside my sketchbook
July 08, 2010
My sketchbooks are incredible works of art. And I say that completely without ego. See, I can’t draw in a sketchbook without 2 minutes going by when all my kids are surrounding me wanting to either 1) comment 2) color in my drawings with the nearest crayon or 2) share the chair and draw with me on the same page. What this means is that I go through phases of drawing with my kids. Sometimes it proves to be simply a supervised drawing session for them. Even though they have their own sketchbooks, they prefer to just draw in mine. But that’s wonderful too, because I see in them budding artists. Addie already is quick to tell me I am off a bit on this or that. And I have to tell you…she is very quick to say that she is the best artist in the ENTIRE universe. Don’t you think so? I thought you’d agree.

That’s so sweet…
It’s wonderful you take time for your kids that way.
It’s been SO hard to be artistic and creative with my kids right now while I’ve felt so crappy with the end of this pregnancy. Seeing this post recharged my desire, though. Thanks for sharing your lovely sketchbook! I love it!!!
These will soon become your favorite of all your works, because of the sweet memories they invoke, and this stage will pass so quickly you’ll be wishing you could bring it back. At least you’ll have these special pages to look back on and smile at the memory.
This speaks volumes of your mothering skills to give your children that important time and space!
It looks like your children are inheriting your creative talents already – this is wonderful.
thats is adorable
