Crash!!

     To say that I have been blessed this past week is somewhat of an understatement.  I felt a huge blessing the other day.  We have a couple of steps going out to the back porch - a covered concrete slab.  We had let Lakota out and I turned to come back in.  I caught my bedroom slipper on the edge of the door and slam!  I crashed into the dining room floor.  Full force on my face.  I didn't have time to put out a hand to break my fall so my face did the job!  Major pain!  My glasses fell clear without breaking (blessing).   My mouth hurt but I did not break a tooth (another blessing).  And even though it bled a lot, my nose wasn't broken (yeah again).  It was a bit frightening how much I bled, due to the blood thinners I am on, but still no breaks.  I wasn't even sore the next day.  It could've been much worse if I had fallen OUT the door.  The concrete might have done some severe damage.  So all in all, I felt quite fortunate.  I did not however feel the least bit GRACEFUL. 
     The weather has been rainy this week so I didn't feel the least bit bad about sitting and coloring and drawing.  Perfect weather for it.  I also have been wrestling with a small stomach bug so being lazy this week came easy.  I still want to get started cleaning closets but hey, that can be done whenever, right?
      I am working in my Color It book, Dogs Man's Best Friends.  Here are a couple of ones I have completed.  I am still really enjoying the chameleon markers.  They give such a great blended look.  I love the ease with which they combine colors or do gradients.  I don't feel comfortable enough to try the dogs fur with the markers so I use the polychromos pencils for that.

      Here are a few of the challenges I did for this week.

      Thank you for dropping by and a huge welcome to the new followers I have!  When I first started my blog a long time ago, I went the next day to school and tried to find someone to follow me so I could have at least one follower.  My friend, the assistant principal, agreed.  I was so thrilled to have ONE follower.  To see it grow without me begging is so cool!  Again thanks.  Also thanks for your comments - they highlight my day!  Hugs and blessings!
