A Buggy Sketch For You To Try!

I realize that school is back in session and Labor Day is just a short two weeks away, meaning that summer is coming to a close. While some of you are beginning to see the change in the season, we Okies are still in "100+ degree-heat-ozone-alert-summer's-never-gonna-end" mode. As such, we've still got lots of insects who apparently haven't figured out to take a chapter from the geese playbook and head north. Case in point, we disposed of a hornets nest and it's occupants just last night! Dorks.

But not all bugs are stinging, blood sucking, annoying, plant eating, pains in the rear. Wouldn't you agree? Take this little guy for example. . .

I used Jen's Sketch For You To Try and in a desperate act to use brightly colored paper stacks "just one more time" before summer ends - I used some wonderful "get your sunglasses" patterned paper from Me & My Big Ideas. Here's a close-up of the Copic Spica Marker accents:I swear if this little guy ends up creating a nest on my porch, I vow to not shoot him with "Hot Shot". . .

Well, time for me to "bug" out!

Testing the Blogspot


I am testing out the option of switching to the blogspot world. I have a blog, but I've found it difficult to manipulate the setting and create a blog that's more me. This is just a test, but I'm going to be trying it out and see if I like being a blogger. . .

I am trying out the differences between posting pictures, text, etc., as well as the options for different backgrounds.

I'll be back to let you know what I think!
