Let’s see…I started this blog on February 15th last year. So, I totally missed my one year blog anniversary this year.
I haven’t posted a sketch in almost three months.
I flopped on getting all the Christmas Postcards created and mailed for those who subscribed to the blog via email. I got some of them done, but not all.
Dismal.
Thankfully, I’ve still got readers and traffic to the blog. I find that amazing really. To all of you readers, you are much appreciated!
All I can say is hey, I’m a creative type.
Some creative types are prolific business people and can create on command - they have fine, prestigious careers to show for it. But some of us…well…the wiring is a teeny bit quirky. We do ok, but at times we struggle. Ain’t no reason to stop tryin’ though.
So…here’s the first flicker of output from reconnecting the power cord to my paint box and pen.
It isn’t much. There’s no story behind it really. I just looked around the house for something to sketch and was naturally drawn to the kitchen. That speaks volumes actually.
So, HAPPY NEW YEAR! The power is reconnected…let’s see if I can keep it that way. Thanks for sticking by me!

I’m so glad to see you back! Speaking of dry periods, I can relate. I seem to go into one myself every once in a while.
And your cookies? They’re awesome! They look good enough to eat right from the page. Pass the plate, will you?
Thanks Bonny!
You’re a sweety. My wife made a gallon freezer bag full of the things. I’ve literally eaten them for breakfast at times.
Welcome back, Don. You know I was waiting …
Yup. Thanks for the support Karen

So good to read your blog again Don. I was getting a bit worried.
Lindsay,
Thanks for dropping in! Everyone in the cave is fine
Zan,
Thanks for the comment and for posting one yesterday too. Tell me, did you ever receive the Christmas postcard or did it get lost in the U.S. to Canada post? Yours was one I did get sent.
Welcome back. More and more, I think that we need time off to replenish our energy and there are probably good creative reasons that we need to lay back and not connect for awhile, even if we don’t understand them.

Hi Ann,
I truly admire people who are able to control the process and “recharge”.
Thanks for the comment. Taking breaks, for me, has always been a two-edged sword. I need them but they usually result in too much time for self evaluation
