Getting closer to the Prom…. April 19,   So, today at lunch, a bunch of the girls were discussing accessories for the Prom and the subject came up with the theme “The Grand Ball” and how debutantes, movie stars, princesses and queens wear tiaras.  I am not sure if I love the idea or totallyContinue reading “IFJM DAY 19”

After Prom plans…. April 18,   Yes!  Our Magic Bands came today!  Dad, in his wisdom, decided that the best way to keep his girls from going to after Prom parties was to take us to Disney World for the weekend after Prom is over. So we go to the Prom, get changed, and we’llContinue reading “IFJM DAY 18”

Sunday morning visitors…. April 17,….this morning I heard a noise out in front of the house.  These Sandhill cranes are always hanging around our house.  Dad calls them Curly, Larry and Moe.  Sometimes we open the door and there they are looking in at us.  They eat lizards and stuff so we don’t know whatContinue reading “IFJM DAY 17”

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”

Woo Hoo..half the way there.  Today we find out that our teen age Cinderella does have a favorite ice cream flavor, or in this case, flavors….

April 14,  We had our school art show tonight.  This is a copy of a painting I didContinue reading “IFJM Day 14”

I was feeling inspired today….I didn’t add color to this sketch because I liked this so much that I wanted to save it for for future projects. April 13,  I had a dream last night about being Cinderella.  I guess all this Cinderella stuff is getting in my head.  Anyway, I dreamed of a horseContinue reading “IFJM Day 13”

A day in the life of a modern day Cinderella…..these rainbow lizards really are running loose at the Indian Riverside Park in Jensen Beach, Fl.  April 12,   We had batting practice today but coach let us go early because she had an appointment.  I still haven’t spoken to anyone yet about the pink seaContinue reading “IFJM Day 12”

Some more back story….Sarah’s step Dad find a lost treasure and we find out how her mom passed away…..to whoever asked, yes, I worked a “pink horse” into the story…. April 11,   So today another mom mystery.  Dad found this little pink sea horse pendant with sapphire blue eyes.  He doesn’t remember ever seeingContinue reading “IFJM Day 11”

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. April 10,   Well it’s another nice sunny day here in Florida.  On Sundays,  we go out for breakfast when thereContinue reading “IFJM DAY 10”
