Insomnia

I am having "one of those nights". I've been pretty restless. I can't sleep. :( I was laying in bed trying to fall asleep when Silver started crying so I got up to see what was wrong. Then I wondered into the computer room and thought I would share about this new book I've been reading. Allani directed me to Danny Gregory's website Which is a very fun website. From there I saw a link for his new book, so I went to Amazon.com and I bought it. Click me too look! It came in the mail a few days ago, and I must say it is a very fun, creative book. He writes in a fun way that holds my attention. I had a great time doing the first project in it. Which was to draw:

1.) A Chair

2.) A Mug

3.) A Table

4.) A Person

The interesting part was that I had to draw those four things using only a pen! Which means no erasing! This was a huge step out of my "perfection box." I stressed about it during the first drawing but then I relaxed and just had a good time. The drawings aren't perfect, and because I knew I couldn't erase I didn't expect them to be! Woo Hoo. I was very excited and showed Kyle right away when he woke up. I think this might be the perfect book to get me out of my "creative block".

  1. I KNOW! isn't that an awesome book?! It's one of my favorites. In fact, when my auntie came to visit I gave it to her to read. I also got his first book- Everyday Matters. I'll bring it when we come to see you.
