I have had medium to long hair pretty much since my high school mullet grew out with one exception… In about 1999, I decided to get a short short hair cut. Something like this: The problem was I don’t like mornings, I don’t like hair products, I don’t like ‘fixing’ my hair… This required effort.. […]
So proud of Kaitlynn! Not only has she fallen in love with adult coloring books… But she is learning to sketch and shade… Last night she started pink flamingos but here are her lions from the last two days… This is her first go at this style of drawing too.. Did I mention she […]
With Mark off for 3 weeks, we assumed we could tackle that last bathroom (the main one with a tub) and get it finished in time. Assumed. Sigh. All of our efforts meant nothing with repeated damaged products. But we did get the ceiling finished and one wall up.. Here is our progress to date.. […]
A doodle from my sketchbook. Inspired by Soutache and a pattern I seen on Pinterest that is similar only I started with the circles first.. A beautiful Amaryllis we found on a walk.. And my little lovely making a wish… ijourney1018 {@} gmail {dot} com meandmyinkpen {@} gmail {dot} com About Me : Buy Me Coffee! […]
These black canvases made me think of chalkboards (probably were meant to do so lol). I bought a set of two to try out.. Just very quickly threw down a messy mandala with some dotted swirls in the black edges.. From a distance it looks a lot like chalk because of the different depths in […]
See a sneak peek of one of my sketchbook project pages above! I have been involved with arts and crafts since I was a little girl. My mother was wise to introduce me to art and encourage it… To this day it is my therapist, my confidant, my companion, my savior.. Then I became a […]

My baby girl and I needed some fun time today… I work in my sketchbooks, my computer, and the household chores most all of everyday.. We often do art together inside but today I thought we both needed some outdoor time together.. So I blended it all into one! Enter sidewalk chalks lol ijourney1018 […]
So I don’t believe the world is ending.. But I decided today should be spent as if it were.. 20 years from now I want to remember that I let go of all responsibility and did what I wanted on the day before the world ended.. Kaitlynn and I watched cartoons this morning.. She woke […]
I think what’s worse than getting pranked, is getting accidentally pranked. I mean, I don’t even have anyone to be mad at! I’m a skeptic by nature.. always have been. I watch these posts come up on Facebook or other social media outlets and my first thought is ……. whatever. So I look it up […]
I completely forgot to post yesterday! The first time all month that I forgot. My only excuse is that yesterday was our first day back to lessons after the holiday and it was rough.. I mean R-O-U-G-H rough! Kaitlynn is a great kid, she has an amazing ability to soak up information like a sponge. […]
I seem to spend all my free time racking my brain on ways to cut costs.. This $5,000 truck repair that’s looming over my head has me looking to every corner to save money.. I’ve spent $10 on Christmas decorations and the rest we will make.. I’ve looked at our meals and figure I can […]
After hiding inside all day to avoid the crazy Black Friday shoppers, we finally had to leave! We went into Anacortes and decided to give Pier 61 restaurant a chance. HIGH priced little place lol we shared a meal! It was decent food, but not something I’d want to go do ever again due to […]
In 2011, Amy Chua published a book titled ‘Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother’. I have not read the book and I want to make that clear. I did, however, see the controversial article “Why Chinese Mothers Are Superior” on The Wall Street Journal when it was *all over the news* back in 2011. To […]
It seems like more and more my life is filled with these moments. That moment when you’re whole mind is full of the word ‘REALLY?’ and you can’t really get past it. Can’t think or speak or anything… just stand there with a slack jaw and stare. I thought you should hear of a few […]
So I don’t have photos on the iPad, but I thought I could look anyhow and this is one that Kaitlynn remade and plays with ALOT according to the photo album lol. This was their very first photo together. Today, I made a lot of moms and kids angry! Apparently, the moms didn’t care that […]
Tonight, the world lost a young lady that survived multiple heart surgeries as a child.. Her father is a friend and tax client of ours.. My heart hurts for him tonight.. Please keep him in your prayers! I heard the news during dinner and I’m not sure if it was the Sangria (see below!!) or […]
