Cinderella Sarah’s favorite burgers and fries….she loves Five Guys.  Five Guys is a sure sign your child has graduated from being a kid to an adolescent.  They stop wanting the mass produced burger with the toy and graduate to the hand made patties and fresh potato French fries.   I didn’t take my kids toContinue reading “IFJM Day 16”

So here is Day 10.  Some “back story” pieces are being woven into the story…..I meant to add why Sarah drew the juvenile Sandhill crane but the story took a path of it’s own.

Some down time….( just a side now….I am handwriting these and what pops in my head…..if I were actually typing these, there would be adjustments to grammar).   Some of my ideas and sketches here are coming right out of my real sketchbooks.
