I'm Back!

*I'm back!
*After having some terrible plague from the Bible for 3 weeks straight.
Here's a work-in-progress that I've been working on that I'm loosely thinking of calling "Stephanie". "She's" 8 x 10 inches on brown colourfix paper, done (as always) with Prismacolor pencils. Every piece I do is a learning experience, and this one is no exception. Already, I've noticed that she will need a nose job. I exclude smacking myself in the forehead and grinding my teeth.
My 2 year old niece is very funny. She, her granna(Nonni), and her uncle were playing with blocks, and she drops one. "Oh, I dropped it!" she says seriously. "That's okay." Nonni responds.Then she says, "Oh, I'm sorry." "That's all right" her uncle and Nonni reassure her.
She's like a little person! I squeal excitedly to myself.
Among these sentences while building she'll exclaim in a bright serious voice: "Another one!", "More blocks!", "Oops!", "Beautiful!", and "Here's a big one!"

Sigh.

Thank goodness Christmas Holiday is over. I really do not care for Christmas shopping because you never know if the person your buying for will actually like it. Then you do find something the person will like. Oh G- it's a hundred bucks!
Does anyone agree with me?
