Painting to help with some sads today... but I made a card! That's progress. Hoping to get a desk today so I have more room to spread out. This is a new set from Aha Arts that I hadn't had time to ink up before we moved back to the States... I'm feeling a little overwhelmed and sad today so I loved this little melancholy sweetie and had fun with shadows and some wet-into-wet watercoloring on the background. The sentiment is from Power Poppy. Thanks for the sketch challenge! xo Added in the DD keyword, for the line 'when I'm feeling sad' from My Favorite Things.

Well I think this is a perfect way to beat the blues and let someone know you miss them. I bet you have a LOT of those folks that fall in the "missing you" category. Big hugs girlie!
