Quotes, Quotes and More Quotes!

I can't believe I have ignored my blog for two full weeks!!! It was a crazy couple of weeks though with CHA, the delightful Kim Watson visiting for 10 days, my birthday, and getting really sick. So please forgive me for my long absense.

During that time, I spent a lot of time doodling which I so love to do. So I wanted to share some of my recent ones. I will be sharing scrapbook layouts next time - I have tons of those to put up too. I also have to give you a big CHA update - ahhhh, so much to write on that topic!

So with that, here are some doodles:

I believe this quote was by Spencer W. Kimball. I just love it!!!

I found this quote on Pinterest recently. And it spoke to me. Because it finally described WHY I act the way I do much of the time. Or at least it gave me an excuse for my crazy behavior!

(The song actually says when skies are gray...but I messed up on this one!)

I drew this quote as I was watching the Grammy's on Sunday night. Whitney Houston's death made me think about these words of wisdom from James Dean. She was one of my favorite singers of all time!

I really LOVE this quote by Martha Washington. I so agree with her. It is right on as I have talked about before. Being happy is a decision and finding joy in our lives is up to us.

Another cute quote I found on Pinterest. True it is!

I tried using stamps (new ones by My Minds Eye) instead of doodles on this one.

So her face is a little weird shaped - she has been through a lot in life, so don't mock her!

This one cracks me up. I was trying to draw a girl that appeared to be imperfect (note large round nose and one eye being higher than the other) to demonstrate the point in the quote. But she just got funnier and funnier looking as I went along. I so agree with this quote as well. And when it comes to creating, it is important to embrace the "imperfections".

This last quote so makes me laugh. Because it also is SO true. I always tell my husband I wish he knew how to love me the way my dog does. She worships me. She mopes and lays on the couch or under my desk chair in my office when I am not home. The other day, Tom put a frosted mini wheat in front of her nose while she was laying on my couch waiting for me to return. She just ignored it. After I got home, she jumped back on the couch and ate her treat. Hahahaha. Gotta love that much devotion, huh? I'm going to conclude that i must be all kinds of wonderful to have this affect on her though....

And with ALL that, Happy Valentine's Day to all of you! Kiss those you love (and maybe some you don't!). Suzy

These are so cool! You make it look easy (but I know is something I have no talent for :) ).

LOL, I stared at your "you are my sunshine" one and pondered for minutes what's the hidden message by changing gray to blue. Are you not my sunshine anymore when sky is not blue? Then I saw your caption. Now I want five minutes of my life back! :P

Very wonderful job! I wish I could doodle like that. What tools did you use? Copic markers?
