Below are some sketches I have sketched in honour of Thanksgiving Day.  Thanksgiving Day is one of my favourite holidays a part from Christmas, my Birthday and Halloween.  It's a day set aside to gather together to count your blessings and give Thanks to your Creator for all your blessings.  Thanksgiving Day should not only be observed in countries like North America and Canada; Thanksgiving Day should be embraced and worshiped by all countries the world over.  It's not just about the Turkey, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie, but it's about being grateful for all we have and coming together with family and friends near and far.

 

"Above all else...be thankful you are not a Turkey on Thanksgiving Day!"

Medium used:  graphite pencils, ink and water colours.

 Madeline was so engrossed in her saucy Novel that she failed to realize that her ratatouille was en flambe. 

Why waste my time on Facebook...when I have all these wonderful books in my library to amuse and delight me and take me places that I have never even heard of before?

 Sophie may be washing the dishes, but her mind is miles away in the tub and her Harliquin Romance Novel.

Mary Jane loves to relive her favourite Mills and Boon Romances. A Tree's True Destiny

There's nothing more satisfying than a sassy novel!
