Piecing Noni together

About a month ago, I drew Noni from On a String... It's kind of scary, drawing someone you actually know. ;)

Aaaaaand....I decided....sort of....to do something crazy. Well, I was crazy once. This, I think, is just mad hatter.

But whatever.

Let's start over.

Guys, I drew a picture! Of my beautiful friend Noni {I call her by her real name, but most of you know her as Noni}. For fun, I thought it'd be neat to post step by step pictures of how it progressed! You can let me know what you think! ;)

TTFN ta, ta for now!
 
 
 
 
 
 

P.S. There is this super giveaway going on at a friends blog. You should seriously check it out. But don't do it. Cause I wanna win. ;)

lol

I guess I should give you the link...

To be honest...


When I was a kiddo, I struggled with lying. Protecting myself against accusation, pain, the stuff I'd done wrong.

You know.


WHO ate the last piece of candy?

Why is that dirty?

How come the -- is gone?


Well, whatever it was...it wasn't me.

I guess you could say it was my greatest fear, to be found in the wrong.

Anyhow, I had to learn the hard way a lot of times that lying doesn't pay. You will be found out and yikes, when you are, it's nooooooooo fun. :P

So, just a reminder, because even now, I have to stop to keep the old habit from coming back, to be honest. Always.

Ok, new topic. ;)

A drawing!! I did this one a long time back {well, July, anyways}. But I forgot to post it, so I figured I would now!!






That one was for my lovely friend Grace!!!! The letters went crooked... :P She put it up in her office. :D She works for a missions that travels worldwide!!!

Ok. And then I did this one last month. For my friend Jonnah! The camera did some bizarre things with it when I took the pic...but oh well. ;)





Life's been pretty crazy. A lot of soccer. Volleyball. Good talks with friends. People getting married. Engaged. Having babies. You know. Life. Crazy. Yeah.

Anyhow, I'm in the mood for a laugh. :D


So laugh.

I love this!!!
 
 
 
 
Hahaha
 
 
 
LOVE!!!!
 
 
Ta ta lovelies!!

Stripes, dots, and...water?


I did another drawing this week!! As I admitted to Jonnah, I finally broke down and purchased REAL artwork paper.

Seriously, I can't believe I didn't do this sooner....


 
 
During the summer, my pups get a pool. I don't, but they do {not fair, at all}... They love it. I'm jealous. ~_*
 
 
Couldn't resist. Just too cute...
 
 
Theys soooo happy..... :D
 
 
 
 
Pretty.
 
 
Pretty.
 
 
Yes, they would, if they were close enough to hear. I pity them. Because they are not.
 
 
Absolute-tootingly true.
 
 
 I do this, LOL!
 
 
I'm in the mood for a laugh.
 
 
pretty much
 
 
:P
And that's how I like it. ~_*
 
 
I LOVE this. Immensely...
 
 
lol.....
And writing epic novels...
 
 
 
 
lol
Never happens. MmHmm....
 
 
lol!!! :) this reminds me of a friend!!!
Totally have a friend who'd do this and pull it off in style...
 
 
hahaha!!!
Well.... ~_*
 
 
I died laughing. Really. I had to resurrect.
 
 
Tomorrow I am going to the lake for the first time since I have lived in Missouri!!! We actually have LOTS of lakes, but this is the most commonly visited. I've been to one other one {I'm not sure the name, Truman, I think}. But, anyhow, I'm going with one of my great friends and my two sis's and it's going to spectacularly fun!!! Yeps. So, anyhow, hopefully there'll be lots and lots of pics from that.
 
 
 
P.S. This was supposed to post yesterday, but blogger had a bug and wouldn't, so my next post will be right away {hopefully} with all our adventure pics!!! :D

a little bit of something


First off, the Photo Challenge is hitting it off with...one participant. But hey, that's all good! Jonnah will be sure to win the prize at this rate! Thankfully for all of you, you can join at any point {though the judges are more likely to appreciate a good selection of pics, so you better get the film rolling}.

And yes...the judges.


They are two of them. And I figure now is as good a time as ever to introduce you to them!!! They are both very dear friends of mine and both appreciate photo beauty.

The first is my dear friend and neighbor, Lauren!!! We are co-workers and best friends!! {I must clarify that I have LOTS of best friends. I am very blessed. Extraordinarily so.}


Lauren!!!!!!




{She is simply a beauty, is she not!!!} She is a very skilled photographer {though she would never say it herself} and appreciates beauty in all things.


And Brisa!!!

Brisa is my sister, one of my best friends, and such a blessing to me. I love her sooooooo much. She is the one I go on walks with and talk for hours to. She knows every little thing about me. Literally. All my flaws. All my hopes and dreams. All my desires. Yep. You want to know something about me? Go ask Brisa. She'll know. ^_^


 
 
 
 
 
And she also happens to be stunning. :D
 
I will be posting the my pic #3 {which is your pet, btw, since I forgot to mention it before... ~_*} tomorrow.
 
Today is Mother's Day. I could go on for hours about my mother, but I am not going to. Instead, I am simply going to tell you what I told her.
 
This is from a letter I wrote her today...
 
 
Today is called Mother's Day because it is the day we have set aside to commemorate mums. But I think every day is Mother's Day. I am so grateful God decided to give you to me as my Mum. I hope that I can be half as good a Mommy to my children as you are to me. You are a real example to me of a Godly women, patient, kind, cherishing.... You know everything about me. Everything. And I love that. You are not afraid to tell me the truth, encourage me, and guide me in life. I don't know what I would do without you. I am sooooo blessed to call you Mum.
 
 
This weekend we threw a surprise b-day party for another one of my best friends, Grace. {She blogs HERE, btw, and is a fantastic writer. Go look at her blog!!!} Well, it was sort of a surprise party. She arrived before some of us {including ME!!!!} even did... ;) But it was super fun anyway. I love her sooooooooooo much! She is so awesome. And loves God with all her heart. And is perfectly gorgeous.
 
 
 


 
 

 
 
Rachel says she is giving a creepy smile. But I say, creepy smile or not, she is such a cutie! Not everyone can pull off a creepy smile and still look so stinkin' adorable.
 
Also, I finished another drawing this week!! Hurrah! :D
 
This is it.
 
 

 
 
Tomorrow I am going to be doing an interview!!! Lacey from A Thinking Place is going to be hosted over here and she is going to interview me at her blog! Because my computer is having all sorts of picture problems right now, I am going to put up the pics I want her to use here.... For some reason my blog is the only place my comp. will allow me to upload pics. I am thankful I can at least do it here!! Neither fb nor email are working right now. :P
 
So, anyway, Lacey, I will try to explain where the pics belong and if you have any questions just email me. ;)
 
 
For the "my family question", all of the following pics {order at your own discretion}:
 
 
 













For the "sports" question:





{Me playing v-ball. You can specify I am in the purple and my sis has the ball...sorry you can't see my face. I couldn't find any anywhere of me looking at the camera. I am always with my back to it.}


 
 


{Soccer}


 

{And the two mix! Volley ball with a soccer ball.}





{This pic was over a year old, truth be told. But it is the only one I could find of me playing four square. ;)}

For the "business" question:


 
 
{Two of my dogs, Silver in front, Tizona in back.}
 
 

 
 
{My other puppy, Orcrist (affectionately dubbed Pickle)} 
 
If you want a picture of me without doing anything goofy, just take the one of me and Grace from the top of the post!! I like that one a lot. ;)
 
 I think that is it. But if you want more let me know!!!! :D
