There has been little time to do much more than a couple of sketches here and there and so I thought it the perfect opportunity to join in the fun over at Sophia's blog where there are a lot more lovely sketches to see.
The snow keeps a-coming here and so many spanners have been thrown in so many works that I am having to take a several deep breaths and reeeelllaaaxxx!! We missed our trip to my little sis's and her family up North because of weather conditions... so disappointing...so I have eaten my weight in chocolate to compensate... :) Just getting into training for christmas day!
However the frown was quickly turned upside down with the antics of my 2 year old. She was playing this morning and gave Stu instructions "now, you be Jovis and I'll be baby Cheesus"...heehee!
Reminds me of the time Maia my eldest used to sing "Away in a manger no crisps for a bed"
Don't they just make your heart swell with smiles :)
I'll stop rambling now, but I'd like to end on a big THANKYOU for all the wonderful comments you have been writing. I'm so delighted you are all liking the Joy Journal and joining in on the giveaway. Xx
Oh your sketches are beautiful!The little tweet is lovely but you know I especially love that little guy at the top.So I am sitting wondering what his true colours would be,being camouflaged and all i'm going with green and red poka dots hehe..Jenny I wanted to wish you and your gorgeous Family a wonderful Christmas.I had hoped to get a little something posted off to you but well time has got away from me so will be after Xmas now,,Hope you have a wonderful Holiday and look forward to some snow man pics when your girls get out there hehe.Lovenhugs chrisxxx

ReplyDeleteHi Jenny, Funny story about your kids! I like your festive artwork. The chameleon and bird are nicely done; wonderful colors and great shapes!

ReplyDeleteSorry to hear you missed visiting your little sis, but how delightful to have your little ones remind you to focus on the joy!
Oh my gosh...I LOVE these. Especially the top one, but I love them both. Love how cheery and vibrant they are. :)
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you have a two year old and still manage to produce so much art work! I was thinking that the black and white bird image would look lovely in your free machine stitching...
ReplyDeleteoh poo! My last comment got eaten by the internet fairly. I love these and hat that I missed them in SS and Google Reader. The colors are amazing - I LOVE ORANGE. And the juxtaposition of the chameleon heart is ingenious. Thanks for sharing the hee-hee love on my blog today.
ReplyDeleteLove the bird piece - great colours.
ReplyDeleteMy little one keeps calling Santa's helpers Elfabets, makes me smile every time. x
Yay Jenny! I'm so glad it finally arrived, I was worried it may have gotten lost in the mail. I'm sooo glad you like it and happy to have a new friend with a such a great name;)Sorry you missed seeing your sister, hopefully you'll get another chance when the weather lets up.
ReplyDeleteWishing you and your family very happy this Christmas!
Love and hugs to you,
jenny

The colors in these really pop out at you! I love them! The snow here in Indiana gets pretty crazy about once a week!
