PRODUCTIVE USE OF THAT EXTRA DAY February Theme by Tamera Wissinger
This winter has turned out to be busy and productive. Over
the holidays I worked on the end matter for my verse novel that’s arriving next
year and on February 2nd I welcomed a new picture book into the
world. Now my focus is shifting. I want to think about what I’d like to work on
next. I need to organize, clean, repair things around the house, and I want to
create an art or craft project. So I’m arming myself. I’m making a list of
those house projects, looking at new crochet patterns, thinking about what creative
projects I’d like to jump into. I went to Target for supplies. I wandered past
the crafts, coloring books, crayons. My heart skipped a beat when I came across
this 64 pack of Crayola Pip Squeak Skinnies markers. (That never happens in
the cleaning-supply aisle.) I have an eight-pack of these little gems at home that
I’ve nearly doodled dry, but now I have 64 lovely new markers ready for any
doodle project!

I’m ready for leap day. Sure, I want to spend that extra day doing something useful around the house. And I will. Honestly I will.
But first I must doodle. The good news is, whenever I doodle, other creative ideas bubbles up. Of course, the same thing happens when I clean. But what fun would it be to do my work first and play later?
Cheers to you and whatever you decide to do with your leap day!

Had no idea they came in a 64 box...brings back fond memories of the 64 pack of crayons we coveted as kids. Have to grab some of these for my own doodling...
ReplyDeleteYES! Doodling!
ReplyDeleteOoh! I want those markers, too!!! And I don't even draw or doodle. But maybe I would if they came into my life!
