And we are off on another two month long blog hop with LeighSBDesigns as our fabulous hostess! So a brief recap of the last few days of October for me! A hurricane hit us smack on and while power was being restored the next day my daughter got the results of her Covid-19 tests which was positive! The Monday prior to this I had a biopsy at the dermatologists and she was not happy with the looks of the thing. Happily I got the results of the biopsy today and it was benign! To say I didn't get to have a very jolly Halloween would be safe to say! Also, I am happy to say Noel has done well compared to so very many people who have had this nasty thing! Her symptoms were on the milder side although she has been a very miserable and lonely dear. She has been quarantined in her apartment outside my back door. No, I didn't toss her out....she lives in the apartment my parents lived in at my house. Thought I might need to make that clear! I am going to craft all my nervous energy into this blog hop!
I drew this very simple sketch after watching a video by Nianiani's of watercolor Christmas cards. I just used art journal paper for this cos I lost my watercolor paper and Arteza watercolors. The quote from Charlie Brown's Christmas seemed to fit. I have a little fake tree like the poor little one in the movie and it has a big red ornament on it. I sketched the ornament and lights and had it all painted when I thought about the quote.
