Here's one of the drawings I did on the weekend. I've called her "The All American Girl Next Door", although I think perhaps that's a little long winded. I'm always so surprised when I finish a drawing because I never ever know what they will turn out like. When they are finished I feel quite separate from the finished piece and think "Well hello there! Where did you come from?" She's now in my shop!
The concert on Saturday was wonderful - such a great talent! However,.... being a visual person I'm a little hesitant to admit I was perhaps more mesmerised by her sparkly dress than by the piano playing! Hopeless person that I am. I did appreciate the music though I swear! The other thing I noticed was how incredibly relaxing it was to sit there in the audience and listen to her play.
I trust everyone had a great Mother's Day and a relaxing weekend!
Your American girl is lovely Sam and the concert sounds nice. I'm the same way about the visuals... I'm not the biggest 'No Doubt' fan, but when I saw them about 6 years ago (free tickets) I was so impressed by the massive sets and costume changes that I left loving the show. I'm a sucker for pretty sparkling things.

Thank you Gabbi! So relieved to hear someone else is utterly distracted when there's anything sparkly and pretty in front of them!...and an award - oooh! Thank you so much - I'll have to go look see!

Just found your blog via "Sophism Press"! Love your style and your blog. I'm a bit of a "crow" myself and am always mesmerized by razzle, dazzle and bling! Hugs, Terri
